The Bottom Line - Paperback

by Tobie Carter (Author)

When the return on investment is love...

Self-sacrificing Stella Daniels put her competitive finance career on ice, passing up promotions to help her elderly grandfather manage his struggling funeral home. Now with the mortuary in danger of closing, Stella must hustle for a promotion at the firm she's been neglecting. But when she snaps at a rude--and dangerously handsome--customer at the funeral home, who happens to be a transferring employee competing for the same promotion, Stella's professional and personal worlds collide.

Investment manager Jameson Brooks had it all-the car, the career, and the swanky flat-until news of his mother's illness forced him to move to the States. In the wake of her death, Jameson's estranged father offers him a job at his investment firm. The catch? No one can learn he's the bastard son of the boss. However, under pressure to succeed at work and berated by a father he can't please, Jameson's mental health spirals, sending him back to old self-harming habits.

With the promotion to Project Manager on the table, Jameson and Stella fight to one up each other, but amidst the sabotage and late nights at the office, they're both surprised to discover their rival might be the one bright spot in their increasingly dark days. But to bask in the sunshine, they'll have to choose their greatest investment yet-themselves.

This enemies to lovers brings the fire with a tenacious, ball-busting heroine who won't give up and a cinnamon roll disguised as an alpha in need of a little support. Come along for the ride as one bossy Brit tries to keep his heart and his secrets from the headstrong woman destined to break down his walls.
