The Frame Up
Alessi Brothers Series - Book 1
Love isn’t built on a weak foundation. That’s where meddling septuagenarians come in.
Olivia
When I befriended an older lady with questionable personal style, I never dreamed it would lead to the biggest project of my career. Now I’m working alongside one of the most prestigious home builders in the area—Lucas Alessi. He seems receptive to my ideas and consummately professional. Most of the time. Except his momentary slips, the times where I can tell he feels the indescribable energy between us, quickly become my drug of choice. Right when I think he’s starting to crack, my career takes a new turn and I need to figure out if I can make Lucas part of this new opportunity or if taking it means giving him up.
Lucas
My brothers and I have never enjoyed working with interior designers, let alone before breaking ground on a new project. Then Olivia Dawson enters my life. She brings her skilled designs and thoughtful alterations with her. It’s laughable how long I deny my attraction, but whether my family realize it or not, they need me to stay away from Olivia. Our company can’t afford to lose the project she’s been seamlessly navigating and it’s clear our client prefers her over us. One wrong move with Olivia could mean everyone who depends on me loses their livelihood. I won’t let that happen.
Reader Reviews
I feel like this would be something I’d demolish in an afternoon by the pool, just something readable and entertaining with a romantic MMC that cannot get enough of the FMC. It’s the perfect beach read.

This book kept me completely hooked — it made me laugh out loud, and at times, it also tugged at my heartstrings. It’s one of those stories that blends humor, emotional depth, and lovable characters in the best way.

About the Author
Shannon has been a romance reader since she was a little ten year old. Problematic? Maybe. The Tyler series circa early 90s really made an impact. Now she writes the same stories that have shaped her.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two sons. When she's not wrangling small children, she's probably in her garden. Possibly gardening, possibly making someone else look at everything while she says "Look!" repeatedly.
