Alina Bennet, a high-powered business executive, is always in control—until a mortifying mix-up at a baby shower and a sneezing fit in a cramped elevator change everything. Enter Max, a free-spirited painter with the sunny disposition of a golden retriever, who sneezes his way into her life and throws her meticulously planned world into chaos. Initially prickly and annoyed, Alina finds herself in charge of Max's art installation project for her office. Forced to work closely together, Max's infectious optimism and charm slowly chip away at her rigid exterior. Despite their different lifestyles, Alina begins to see the joy in Max's spontaneous approach to life, and he, in turn, helps her loosen up and embrace the unexpected. As deadlines loom and sparks fly, Alina and Max must navigate their growing attraction and bridge the gap between their contrasting worlds. Can they overcome the chaos and find common ground in love, or will their differences be too much to brush off? Full of laugh-out-loud moments, heartfelt revelations, and a touch of artistic flair, “Brushing Off Business” is a romantic comedy that proves love is the ultimate masterpiece. It is the first book in a planned four book, interconnected, standalone romance series.
