Blueprints, Battlelines and Ballrooms (Tales from Honeysuckle Street, #4)

Johannes Hempel is a man enthralled by the past. Happiest with a pencil behind his ear and a chisel in hand, he longs to craft homes that recall a lost age, even as the world around him demands speed, progress and conformity. After months of searching, he secures a position with an architectural firm, but there's one complication—he is constantly distracted by the principal architect's captivating daughter.
Florence Murray didn't traverse half the globe to go slow—this is her time, and she intends to grasp it. London is miles away from the parochialism of Australia and here, she will prove herself. She's a woman of ambition, intelligence and boundless determination who is tired of the old-world attitudes that refuse to give her a place at the drafting table. She will not be distracted by her father's old-fashioned—yet adorably quiet, and exceptionally strong—assistant.
She will not allow her heart to be broken again.
When Johannes and Florence are tasked with completing an important project together, old world values and modern ambitions collide. Florence's daring ideas and racing mind exasperate Johannes, who prefers a steady, methodical approach. Yet in the friction between them, sparks fly.
Alone, the world sees them as weak.
But together, can they build something enduring?
Something that might last...
Forever?
