Not Part Of The Plan

Some partnerships are made in heaven. This one? Definitely hell…

Poppy Voss has successfully dodged the family watch business her entire adult life, until her aunt threatens to sell it out from under her. Suddenly desperate to preserve the legacy, Poppy persuades her aunt to give her a chance to prove herself. There's just one tiny, soul-crushing catch: she has to work alongside Eliza Carpenter, the childhood best friend she's been expertly avoiding since they were teenagers.

Dragging the company into the 21st century should be simple enough. Except Poppy keeps getting distracted by how annoyingly attractive Eliza has become. Meanwhile, her sister won't stop consulting mediums about their dead mother, and then there's her growing suspicion that Eliza isn't revealing the full story.

With everything she's ever cared about on the line — her family's legacy, her heart, and her future — Poppy must learn to rely on the one person she's not sure she can forgive, while discovering the most difficult person to believe in might be herself. But she better hurry up before time runs out…
