He’s fashion royalty.
She’s the queen of thrift.
Now their career hopes are pinned on each other…
Nothing could make Janelle Novak go back to the competitive world of New York fashion – except a threat to her store, Tailor Thrift. If she can win the first season of a new design reality show, she’ll be able to secure the loan she needs to save her business. But first, she needs to spend the next six weeks working with the pampered playboy she slept with – and walked out on – years ago.
Everything has come easily for Ashton Royce – except the career he wants. Relegated to the business side of Royce Fashions, he aches to do creative work. To prove he’s more than a gossip page headline, he jumps at the chance to participate in Seams Impossible only to discover his teammate is the headstrong one-night stand who disappeared without telling him her name.
Janelle knows Ash has what it takes for them to secure the prize, but he’s arrogant, brooding...and infuriatingly sexy. Ash hoped to work with a malleable designer so he could take the lead, but Janelle refuses to give up creative control. With the final showcase looming, can they stitch and make up?
Things are heating up in the newest stand-alone romance of the Fable Notch series where (retold) fairy tales come true in the mountains of New Hampshire. Featuring a forced proximity/workplace romance with as much quarreling as kissing, Can’t Let You Go is a story of undeniable passion – in and out of the bedroom – between two people who are going to have to redefine what it means to win.
