Criminal defence lawyer Alexis Hall has always been a daddy’s girl. Growing up without a mother, she eagerly followed in her father’s footsteps to work her way up the corporate ladder, eventually joining his legal firm. But on their first case together, she discovers his impeccable track record is not as squeaky clean as she believed—and after accusing him of corruption, she finds herself out of a job and a place to live.
Fortunately, a pet-sitting gig at a luxury apartment gives her somewhere to stay, and a new roster of cleaning houses and doing odd jobs provides enough cash to survive. Unfortunately, her downstairs neighbour, an attractive but grumpy doctor, seems determined to make her life miserable.
Dr Levi Beckingsale has problems of his own. He joined his family’s business—a popular skin clinic—to help those in need. But more and more, his clients comprise mostly of the city’s elite. And with his mother’s ultimatum to get married or take on higher-value clients, Levi’s dream for meaningful work drifts further and further away.
Adding to that is the beautiful but frustrating upstairs neighbour, who always seems to appear at the worst possible moment, reminding him of just how badly he’s failing at life.
He needs to stay away from her.
But can he actually do it?

I am a business owner, artist, cook, mother and wife. I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with my wonderful husband, two beautiful sons, a dog and a cat (both of which are female because, hey, we needed to balance all that testosterone!)
I am a ferocious reader with eclectic tastes and have always wanted to write, but never had the opportunity due to one reason or another (excuses, really) until finally taking the bullet between my teeth in 2014 and just making myself do it.
I love to write stories with heart and a message and believe in strong female characters who do not necessarily have to be aggressive to show their strength.
