A Love Built to Last — L.S. Childers

Whatever Melody Cannon wants, Melody Cannon gets -- or least that has been the case for the past decade. The famous Hollywood stylist is used to giving orders, but when Melody takes an early retirement from Tinseltown and returns home to the Washington, D.C., area to start a new life and eventually her own family (thanks to the local sperm clinic), she encounters the irresistible force known as Clayton Reed, a local architect whom she hires to design her new abode.

Clayton can think of many words to describe Melody, his childhood nemesis who is now his client. Unfortunately, none of those words are good. He's a patient man but even he can't control his temper around her. Despite his dislike for the bossy, hot-tempered vixen, Clayton still feels drawn under her spell. In return, he ignites in her a passion she has never known.
