The Last Lime Kiln

A lonely interior designer. An intriguing, wealthy client. And a whole lot of remodelling.

Newly single Caroline Howarth is making a fresh start. And, aside from chronic loneliness and a stalled career, things are going okay. A friends-with-benefits arrangement helps, as does the opportunity to transform a faded old lime kiln into a stunning home. So why does she feel like something is missing?

Gazillionaire businessman Enguerran Bardet, as grumpy as he is fatally handsome, is a difficult client. Still haunted by memories of his failed marriage and wracked with guilt, he’s determined never to fall for a woman again.

But Fate has other ideas, in the shape of a beautiful, spirited interior designer. Soon, they're ripping up floorboards, selecting cupboard handles, arguing about which family heirlooms to toss in the garbage, laughing over stupidly named paint colours, and picking a path through a project even more daunting than the old lime kiln—a new beginning.
