Unperfect

When Mia shows up for the interview at a well-known architecture firm, she only has 27p, a squashed loaf of bread, and a jar of peanut butter to her name.

She needs this job, even if she is scared to death of the owner of the company.

Max has made a name for himself as that grumpy northern architect off Dreams Homes (the most popular property design program in the UK) after he told the famous host that designing affordable, environmentally friendly homes "wasn't rocket science" and that most of the other projects featured on the program were for "right poncy bastards who want to spend a grand on a shite tap." It turned out that the whole gorgeous-but-rough-around-the-edges-Yorkshire-man vibe was just what the country was looking for. The episode had gone viral, and Max was the extremely reluctant new pin-up of the building industry.

To Mia, huge, grumpy men aren't sexy; they're simply terrifying. She knows from experience that even men of average size can be dangerous. If she weren't so desperate, she'd run. She's used to running. Running away is Mia's special talent, together with invisibility—survival techniques she's perfected over the years. So, she'll put up with Max and his moods, ignore him calling her a teen emo freak (he's not to know that her black hair used to be honey blonde or her heavy eyeliner isn't by choice), and just bloody well jog on. Just try to survive. Try to hide.

It's easy to hide when nobody really sees you. But what happens when Max finally opens his eyes?

Unperfect is a full-length, contemporary, grumpy boss office romance.
