Love Redesigned (Lakefront Billionaires, #1)

by Lauren Asher

I sigh at the ceiling. And blink. Is that… I rub my eyes to make sure they’re not deceiving me. My heart thunders as I take off downstairs in search of the ladder Julian left behind for me. I teeter and nearly lose my footing twice while hauling the heavy thing up the flight of stairs, but I power through and make it up to the attic without any slipups. I set the ladder beneath the wood beam and climb the steps toward the rolls of paper tucked between two support beams. Gotcha. I swoop in and grab them before making my way down the first few steps. A faint tickling sensation on my right hand has me looking up to find a gray spider crawling toward my elbow. “Ah!” I scream as my foot slips. The rolls of paper go flying, along with the spider, as I do everything in my power to catch myself. Wrong move. My arms flail in a wasted attempt to secure my balance. I fall with a gasp, only for all the air to be knocked from my lungs as I crash against the floor on top of my left arm.
