Today's First Page Friday comes from one of the brand new KISS series that has just been launched in the US and this is by one of my own favourite authors, Jessica Hart.
Here's the blurb:
Engineer Frith is a

on her annoying neighbour George … and before long a
wedding doesn’t seem quite such a terrible idea after all.

I WAS having a
good day until George Challoner turned up.
It
had rained almost every day since I had arrived in Yorkshire, but that morning I

count it a smile. Progress, anyway.

ready-mixed concrete arrived bang on time.
I stood and watched carefully as the men started pouring it into the
reinforced steel raft for the foundations.
They clearly knew what they were doing, and I had already checked the
quality of the concrete. After a
frenzied couple of weeks, I could tell Hugh that the project was back on
schedule.
