Tools of Engagement

Everything in Bethany Castle's life is perfectly planned, coordinated, and groomed, including hair, cosmetics, clothes, and décor. For this reason, the houses she creates for her family's real estate company are the most sought-after in the community. The sole imperfection? Her history with men. After helping her friends fulfil their ambitions while taking a break from dating, Bethany now has time to concentrate on her own goal of flipping a house—from the foundation to the furnishings—all by herself. However, her elder brother, who is in charge of the business, doesn't think highly of her.

The Castle siblings are asked to compete in Flip Off, a show that pits the greatest renovator, when a television producer learns of their feud. Wes Daniels, the new man in town, is the only member of her brother's construction team who is willing to go, so Bethany needs a crew if she is to have bragging rights. On the first day, his attractive appearance and Texas drawl made Bethany feel uncomfortable, but she doesn't need a brazen young cowboy to get in her way.

Wes and Bethany are compelled to work closely together as the race to renovate heats up, exchanging jabs and savage banter as they transform the most ugly property on the block. Sparks fly as it's a labour of love, hatred, and everything in between. However, Bethany understands that falling in love with a person like Wes would be a disastrous decision and that her well-organized existence may end with only one kiss.

In Tessa Bailey's most recent romantic comedy, two rivals join forces to flip a property, but the flames between them have the potential to destroy the building or kindle a romance that neither can resist!
