She’s stealing his livelihood out from under him. It doesn’t make him want her any less. Kalpani Desai has one goal: own the most popular salon in Pittsburgh. She has no room in the workplace for a tenant, let alone a romantic partner in her life. She’s seen the disastrous effects of marriage on too many women of her culture—and that’s a hard no. If only the tenant she has to kick out of her new building wasn’t floundering artist (wonderfully sweet and sexy ex-flame) Jonah Walker. Still, she can’t allow guilt—or desire—to derail her plans. Little does she know, Jonah is far more than the laid-back creative type he seems. He’s got career goals—but he wants Kalpani to be his even more.
