The Sixty/Forty Rule: A Grumpy Sunshine Enemies to Lovers Romance (Sunset Landing Series)

Jude Holland has slogged it for years at her commercial design firm for a chance to land a coveted job designing the city's trendiest restaurants and nightclubs. As an assistant, she's done her fair share of grunt work and covering the asses of less-than-competant lead designers, all in the name of one day joining their rank.When a spot suddenly opens up on the firm's design team, Jude's boss makes her a deal: design Theo Jordan—the firm’s biggest client—a new, breathtaking restaurant, convince him to renew his contract with the company, and the job is hers.If only he'd play along.Theo is infamous for three very specific things: he's a hot-shot young chef-turned-restaurateur, a thorn-in-your-side client, and the kind of attractive that makes you wonder which kind of psychedelics the great maker was taking when he created him. Not that Jude notices. She's too busy sticking to the plan, and it helps that he's a total ass, anyway.That is, until a steamy business trip leads to a very different deal between the two, who suddenly can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Sixty percent of the time, they’d indulge those funny, fluttering feelings that seem to manifest whenever they’re together. The rest of the time? They’d be nothing but professional.It doesn’t take Theo long to realize that’s easier said than done. But with a restaurant launch and Jude's dream promotion on the line—not to mention a workplace rival hell-bent on ruining her career—Theo only has a handful of weeks to convince Jude to make that sixty percent full time.The Sixty/Forty Rule is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers workplace romance between a sunshine commercial designer and her grumpy client. It has a healthy dose of spice and a happily ever after. It is the first book in the Sunset Landing series of standalone reads. Read more
