Fashion, succession, and a developing romance

Scout’s work as a consultant at a plus-size clothing company she loves puts her at the center of a family succession contest. The retiring owner pits his two grandsons against each other, with six women he has selected voting on who should take over; Scout keeps score as the competition unfolds. Working alongside Josh brings a personal complication as their feelings grow amid the workplace rivalry. The opening novelette in the Double Digits Pocket Romance Series combines fashion and business with a romance shaped by questions of competition, ambition, and whether a relationship can coexist with the stakes of the contest.

Book overview

No A.I. was used to write, prompt, or create the narrative of this book

 

From award-winning author and former Gannett/USA Today and Fox Sports Ohio journalist Steph West comes her first novelette in the Double Digits Pocket Romance Series, Double Digits. This short, sweet pocket romance, considered a two-hour or less read, is perfect for the beach or travel!

 

In the first book of this three-part series, Scout, a plus-sized beauty with an eye for fashion and business, finds herself as a consultant at a plus-size clothing company she loves-Double Digits. Her boss, Pappy, is a spitfire of a man who believes competition is everything. When he decides to retire and leave his company to one of his two grandsons-Josh or Lucas-he pits them against each other in a female-led battle for Double Digits. The two men must vie for the votes from six plus-sized women, who were hand-picked by their grandfather-and Scout is keeping score. When she and Josh begin to work together, they start to fall hard for each other. As their careers, the competition, and their burgeoning feelings collide, the "will-they-or-won't-they" couple must figure out if they can have a relationship at all in this Brewster's Millions meets Devil Wears Prada sweet, quick, and fun pocket romance (literally, it fits in your pocket!).

 

This is Book 1 of the Double Digits Pocket Romance Series that follows Scout and Josh's love story. Book 2 is California Love, and Book 3 is The Pond House.
