It Began with a Man in a Barn - E-book - ePub

Driving around town on yet another errand for her boss, this time to bring a Bichon Frise for her puppy spa day, Colby finds herself on an unfamiliar road, and once she sees a replica of a beautiful antique saltbox, a perfect miniature of the house, perched proudly on the home's mailbox, she knows she has to have a replica of her parents' house built as a special surprise for them. Marching herself up the long driveway to a red barn complete with workshop, she discovers Lawson Briggs, the man responsible for building the miniatures.
The only difficulty is, he refuses to make one for Colby, giving her the flimsy excuse that he's too busy, but there is no way she's going to take no for an answer. Lawson has enough carpentry work to keep him busy for the next six months, and when Colby Michaels comes into his workshop with her honey-colored hair, red lips, and high heels, he tells her he doesn't have time to waste on her request, hoping she'll get the message and leave him alone so he can finish his special order by the deadline.
When she doesn't get the message, he sends her off with an assignment he knows she won't be able to complete, knowing that will be the end of that. Except it isn't the end, because she's back in his shop in a week, and now she's even more determined to get her way. When he finally caves, his troubles really begin, then he realizes he is in way over his head.
