Measuring Up

by Penny Dawn

Ty used to protect Nicki from undeserving men. . .like himself. Now he's wishing she'd fall for him.

She has a brilliant mind for interior design, but she's posing nude for art students. And he's long since taken to sketching homes instead of women. But when she arrives in Fort Lauderdale, all grown up with dangerous curves and an attractive sense of wisdom, he can't resist the urge to draw her. With pressure to win the construction industry's coveted Key Award and the title of Custom Homebuilder of the Year-not to mention a pregnant ex-girlfriend with allegations-he doesn't have time for a romantic hassle. Especially with the one woman he'd never disappointed. But the sexual tension steaming between them is enough to fuel a hurricane, and never before had a woman's body proved so inspiring. Before he knows what's happening, they're putting their heads together on the jobsite-and their bodies together in the bedroom.

Unlike his relationships of the past, however, he has much to sacrifice should this one run amok. He can't win the Key Award without her help, her friendship is irreplaceable . . . and after tumbling in the sheets amid double standards and a secret paternity suit, he can forget about regaining her respect. Will he ever measure up to the man she thinks he is?

I won this in a contest and it's waiting, oh so patiently, in one of my many TBR boxes.
