Harper owns a local construction company and is well-known as Temptation's tomboy. She didn't choose to be part of the auction and is frozen with embarrassment when the bidding begins. She's mortified when she discovers that the winning bidder is one of the Taylor sextuplets and just wants to pretend that it didn't happen.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Garrek and Harper. Neither one was looking for a relationship, but the sparks between them were impossible to deny. Though they fought the attraction, it didn't take long before it burned out of control. Harper is doing a renovation job for Garrek's brother, which puts her in Garrek's company way too often for her comfort. They grew closer as they got to know each other, but both Garrek and Harper have secrets that keep them from fully committing to each other. They also have to deal with their friends and family continually pushing them together. It didn't take me long to figure out what Harper's issue was. I rooted for her when she finally spoke of it to Garrek and cheered for his patience, understanding, and support. I felt her hurt when he didn't open up to her in return, even though she gave him multiple opportunities.
There were times I wanted to shake Garrek. He came home with the dual purpose of dealing with his inheritance and figuring out his professional future. Though the details come out slowly, the impression is that it is pretty bad. His brother Gray senses that there is something wrong, but Garrek is too ashamed to share his troubles. He keeps insisting that he is okay. Garrek had both Gray and Harper available for support, and he shut them both out. That mistake comes back to bite him when Harper stumbles across an incriminating text and runs. I loved his conversation with Gray, who had a great time pointing out Garrek's obliviousness about his feelings for Harper. I also loved it when Garrek finally broke down and confessed all to Gray, and the immediate support he received. The scene back at Garrek's base was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed how it worked out. Now all he had to do was make things right with Harper. I loved his big moment with her at the end. ( )
