She works at the most expensive boutique in Boldene, but her boss makes her life a living hell and she can't quit. She's entered a competition under James Ficklow's name, and if they win, her designs walk the runway in Berlin. But Ficklow doesn't play by the rules. When lies and deceit start to brew at the office and their entry is in question, Simone must carve out her own path to win.
And she knows she can't do it alone.
Across the small town of Boldene, the wealthy investor Logan Clearwater is bored and lonely. Caught up in the paper mill of his next financially successful venture, Logan craves change and to make something with his hands. When he sees Simone's ad for an assistant seamstress, Logan applies for the job.
While Logan is uniquely qualified to help her, Simone resists the full strength of his charm. Hardened against personal or professional partnership by past disappointment, she keeps her immediate attraction to Logan at bay until one bluesy night, away from work, she lets her guard down. That night, just as her careful plan falls into place, it simultaneously falls apart.
Has Simone ironed herself too thin to win?
CLEARWATER is an emotionally intelligent small town romance featuring a giant man and tiny whippet of a woman who has been left at the altar before. All Boldene Romances are about a tight group of women who prefer to face life's lemons head on, but only after a shot of alcohol, a hit of pot, and a streak of sarcasm. Life is about balance after all.
