Title:<\/strong>\u00a0Fix Her Up<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author:<\/strong> Tessa Bailey<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series:<\/strong> Hot & Hammered <\/a>#1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary:<\/strong>\u00a0Georgette Castle\u2019s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven\u2019t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she\u2019s over it. Georgie loves planning children\u2019s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She\u2019s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World… whatever that means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn\u2019t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody\u2019s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that\u2019s for sure. Maybe if people think she\u2019s having a steamy love affair, they\u2019ll acknowledge she\u2019s not just the \u201clittle sister\u201d who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travis Ford was major league baseball\u2019s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he\u2019s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can\u2019t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his\u2026 bat. And then there’s Georgie, his best friend\u2019s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme\u2014that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job\u2014he agrees. What\u2019s the harm? It\u2019s not like it\u2019s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there\u2019s nothing fake about how much he wants her…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
