Desperate
She's desperate to date anyone-but him. Stylist Caroline Bingham dresses each day as if she might meet her worst enemy or greatest love. Wyatt Knox just might be both. Wyatt has the dubious distinction of being the guy who convinced Caroline's boyfriend of seven years to dump her four days before their wedding. So, when Wyatt's father hires Caroline to spiff up his son's wardrobe, she jumps at the chance to torture Wyatt and get revenge on her ex. *** Wyatt doesn't need or want a makeover-even though his dad claims it will help his growing business, converting vintage cars to electric vehicles. But then again, agreeing to the whole crazy scheme would mean more time with Caroline¿ Ever since he accidentally kissed his cousin's girlfriend at a family reunion, Wyatt has had a thing for Caroline Bingham. It doesn't matter that she'd rather date a lawyer than a mechanic, that she blames him for her canceled wedding, and she usually greets him with a scowl and an insult. The heart wants what the heart wants. Having made his fortune giving old cars new life, Wyatt is a champion of lost causes. And he's not quite ready to give up on Caroline. He's determined to win her prickly heart, even if it takes a whole lot of plotting, some shameless flirting, a few stolen kisses, and a closet full of ugly clothes. Book Three in the Modern Jane series, Desperate, is a contemporary rom-com inspired by Caroline Bingley from Pride and Prejudice. This rollicking and heartwarming novel can be enjoyed on its own and read out of order.
