BLURB

Connor isn’t in the market for messy.

His life is going completely according to plan. He’s set to become CEO of his family’s company, his Ironman time is better than ever, and his regular poker nights with the guys are his one night a month he can stop worrying about counting macros and indulge himself. What he doesn’t need is a relationship with Emerson Dyer—daughter of his father’s lifelong enemy and most-hated rival.

Emerson’s life is nothing but messy.

Since her father died, leaving her CEO of their gin distillery, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. Emerson is barely holding it together—what she doesn’t need is a complication like Connor Finch. Sure, his abs do look like they’ve been photoshopped, but she has no time to spend counting them. It’s her company’s numbers she should be worrying about. Still, there’s something about the way he makes her feel.

Together, they’re perfect.

Connor knows he and Emerson don’t make sense on paper. Too many differences between them—and one big secret that could destroy Emerson’s family business tells him to cut and run. But for once in his life, Connor doesn’t care about messy or imperfect—because the fact is, Emerson is the one perfect thing he needs in his life. Now if he can only convince her . . .

 


EXCERPT

When their lips met, he could taste the gin on her lips. Her tongue met his as boldly as the gin had done, bursting with life and flavor.

Her hand went around his neck, tugging him toward her, and he had half a mind to take her on the bar. Only the recollection that they were in her workplace stopped him from acting upon it.

When they finally broke for air, Emerson grinned. “When I said let it roll over the tongue, I meant yours not mine.”

“It tasted better on yours,” he said. “I needed a second opinion on the citrus.”

 


MEET THE AUTHOR

Scarlett Cole is a contemporary romance author that calls both Toronto, Canada and Manchester, England home. A born city dweller, she periodically quashes the urge to live in the country by hiking up a mountain to remind herself that living away from people would terrify the pants off her.

She believes everybody deserves their love story to be told and loves her heroes on the rough and rugged side…and usually tall (because she married one of those 6ft 6” men you read about in romance!). She’s an A-type personality and Scorpio star sign, so good luck getting her to do anything she doesn’t want to.

When she isn’t writing, she’s happy to talk hot men and expensive shoes while drinking a cold gin and tonic. Don’t bring up olives. As far as Scarlett is concerned, they are the devil’s food. As long as you don’t bring up olives, she’s happy to hear from any time.

Nikki's Review:

I swear I heard angels sing the day this book hit my kindle! Scarlett Cole is a like unicorn...rare, beautiful, almost mythical in her ability to weave a love story together. I was more than ready for a Scarlett fix, and Love in Numbers didn’t disappoint. 


There are so many things that I can count on when reading a book written by Ms. Cole, but my favourite thing are her hero’s. It doesn’t matter if they’re ex-Navy SEALs, bad boy rockstars, or a hot AF businessman. I LOVE THEM ALL! Connor falls into the hot AF businessman category. The connection that he and Emerson had was instant and combustible. The sassy banter was entertaining, and made cutting through the raw sexual tension a little easier. I was dying for them to get all sweaty between the sheets. When it happened I felt like doing a fist pump. But it was worth the wait. Connor is all kinds of filthy in the bedroom. Yum!


I loved the friendship between Emerson and her siblings. They’re obviously family, but you can tell that they have a bond that goes beyond that. I’m really looking forward to Jake and Olivia getting their own books. 


I know Scarlett Cole loves her gin. I also assumed that she knew a little about this particular liquor, besides the flavour. However, the amount of detail about the botanicals used in gin production, and the overall process to get it on the shelves was amazing. I was able to visualize in my mind what the distillery looked like, and how the stills functioned. 


Honestly, this book wasn’t just great, it was amaze balls! The writing is off the charts, and the characters are so well developed and likeable. The only thing that I was left wanting was...more. Not because the story wasn’t complete, but because I wasn’t ready yet. That’s what Scarlett does, she always makes you want to come back for more.
