2 Peas

Jacqueline O'Neil has a recurring dream that she's on fire, and not in a good way.
Concealing her nightmare past and less-than-auspicious upbringing with a veneer of high-end clothing, Jac's determined to prove herself the antithesis of her alcoholic mother. On a long overdue holiday in the heart of Otago, the clothing designer has stolen precious time to re-evaluate her life, but the instant the downstairs tenant arrives all thoughts of relaxing go up in flames.

Jonno Thompson-builder and one time one-night stand-has been the proverbial pain in Jac's ass for two years now, and it looks like he's just been warming up. What the hell does he think he's doing, crashing her vacation?
If Jonno had known he'd be met at the door by a feisty hell-cat wielding a kitchen knife, he might have re-evaluated his need to escape his all-femme family. Forced proximity fuels the powder keg just itching to explode between these two polar opposites, but the more information Jonno coerces out of the self-made, take-no-prisoners redhead, the more he realises they're alike... Much more alike than either of them would like to admit.
Gritty secrets are enticing to unfold, but they can also unravel the very fabric of a person and tear them apart. What's that saying about courting danger? Oh, yes... 'Feel the fear and do it anyway...' And Jac is about to become a master at it.
