    About this ebook

    She's a neat freak. He's a slob. Will his incredibly messy house lead to love?

         

    Story-line: Kara Bissell loves vacuuming, dusting, washing, and polishing. No, honestly. But most universities don't offer a degree in Domestic Engineering, so Kara plans on figuring out a major later. For now, she needs a summer job to help pay tuition. Going door-to-door selling cleaning products wasn't exactly what she had in mind, but it will have to do.

                

    She ends up knocking on Benjamin Bernini's door, a talented sculptor. When his grungy English Sheepdog barrels out the door and knocks her down, and Ben assumes she's the cleaning lady he hired instead of a wrecking crew the place actually needs, Kara isn't certain what to do.

     

         

    Will his incredibly dirty house lead to love?

    A Clean Romance
    Author

    Cindy A Christiansen

    Bestselling author, Cindy A Christiansen, has combined her love of dogs with her joy of writing to create an award-winning combination. Her novels always include canine characters both in the pages and on the cover, an extension of the credit she gives to her extraordinary rescue dogs for their part in helping her overcome numerous challenges. In a reciprocal gesture for their love and devotion, a portion of the proceeds from her books are donated to assist abandoned and abused dogs. She lives in Utah with her loving husband, two creative children with autism, and a pack of rambunctious dogs. Here's what her books give you: A clean read with no bedroom scenes or offensive language; a tantalizing, fast-paced plot; a story without a lot of boring description; down-to-earth heroes and heroines with everyday jobs; a rollercoaster ride of emotions you face right along with the characters; a special dog to steal your heart; a few added facts, a good message, and that important happily-ever-after ending.
