Zoe Dalton has recently relocated to North Carolina from Arizona following the passing of her mother. Fulfilling her mother's dream of visiting the ocean, she finds a job at a local interior decorating business. It is at this business where she is told that she is going to work for a very difficult customer, Aiden Shaughnessy.

Aiden is the eldest of the Shaughnessy siblings, and after the loss of his mother seventeen years ago, he basically assumed the role of second parent in the raising of his siblings. As such, he was stubborn and thought that he always knew the right way to do things. When Zoe showed up at his model home to go through the work of the prior designer, Aiden was taken back by her approach.

The tension and sparks between Aiden and Zoe were flying, but they both were such strong personalities that it was difficult to make work. This book was a bit of a whirlwind, but ends with a HEA.

4 out of 5 stars.
