Manhandling — Sami Lee

He's an author with an image problem. She's an image consultant with an author problem. Let the battle of wills begin…

Manhandling from award winning romantic comedy author Sami Lee will keep you laughing from start to finish. Brisbane, Australia will never be the same after Libby Allison does a little manhandling!

Jake McCallum was a corporate go-getter once upon a time, before his father's health issues forced him to reassess his addiction to life in the fast lane. When his fiancé subsequently dumped him, he decided a quiet, uncomplicated life working as a mechanic in his dad's garage was the way to go. Now his return to the dating world has motivated him to write a book about his disastrous love life, and it looks like he's on the path to success once more. The trouble is, he's not sure he wants to get back on the fast track.

Image consultant Libby Allison has been hired to whip Jake into shape in preparation for his coming book tour, and the second she gets a load of Jake's stained T-shirts and shaggy hair, she knows an image overhaul is well overdue. She's hoping to find more high-profile clients, and a makeover like the one she has planned for Jake could generate just the word of mouth she needs. If only Jake wasn't so averse to every little change she tries to make. And if only she wasn't wildly attracted to him, despite his aggravating views on women and relationships.
