A Goodreads Best Love

“Fans of The Devil Wears Prada will flip over Love on Lexington Avenue.” —Karen Hawkins, New York Times bestselling author

From NY Times bestselling author Lauren Layne comes the second delightfully charming installment in the Central Park Pact series, carrying out a young widow whose newfound cynicism about love is challenged by an attractive, rough-around-the-edges contractor.

A couple of no good men left in NEW YORK. At least that’s Claire Hayes’s conviction about Love on Lexington Avenue after finding out her late spouse was not the person she believed he was. Determined to rid her house of whatever reminds her of her cheating spouse, Claire sets out to redesign her boring, beige Upper East Side brownstone and make it something all her very own. But what starts out as a simple renovation becomes a lot more complicated when she fits her bad-tempered contractor Scott Turner.

Scott bluntly makes it recognized to Claire that he only took on her house for any change of pace from the corporate offices and swanky resorts he’s been building lately, and he doesn’t hesitate to add that he has no patience to get a pampered, damaged princess with a penchant for red. But when lengthy workdays become even longer evenings, their mutual wariness morphs into something even more complicated—a grudging respect, and maybe even attraction…

Filled up with laugh-out-loud scenes that mix perfectly using the touching friendships Layne brings to life over the web page, this “hugely entertaining” (USA TODAY) novel is ideal for fans of Lauren Weisberger.
