A Bennett Family Short Story

A workaholic chemist. An obsessively organized public relations expert. An intense romance that neither expected.

David Bennett cares about one thing: his work. So when marketing and public relations expert Juliet is brought in to turn the company's image around, he's willing to let her try. But when she takes over his lab and tries to turn him into the face of the family's business, he is anything but thrilled.

Juliet Torrance jumped at the chance to leave her London home and come to sunny California at the request of an old business associate. She isn't looking for a relationship, but she can't seem to stop her attraction to her boss's cousin-in-law. There is more to David than his surly exterior. And when Juliet sees glimpses of it, she is willing to work at making him into the man of her dreams.

But when their budding relationship is on the verge of falling apart, it's up to David to show Juliet he is everything she needs him to be.

Note from author: "This is a short story, or novelette if you prefer, approximately 13,000 words. David's story came a few years after This Time Love. I never intended to go beyond the first book, but he just wouldn't leave me alone and became my first short story. This book can be read as a standalone but is considered book 2 of The Bennett Family series. Please note this is an open-door romance. I hope you enjoy." - Lizzy Castle
