All the Right Angles by Stef Ann Holm

Architect Francesca Moretti has always been taught to aim high, work hard and finish what you start.

So when it falls to her—the baby of the family and only daughter—to head up the family construction business and see a high-profile project through to completion, there is no question of bailing out.

Still, it won’t be easy. Construction is a guy’s game—Franci will have to prove she’s just as comfortable in steel-toed work boots as in peep-toe heels. To make matters worse, the financing company has sent a glorified babysitter to oversee the project: nitpicking workaholic Kyle Jagger.

The human watchdog is constantly looking over Franci’s shoulder . . . and not always at the blueprints. And Franci’s getting the distinct impression that Kyle is interested in a little more than just the bottom line . .
