Colwell, E. J.: Chip-N-Nails

Michael Thomas is an accountant due for a promotion he wholeheartedly deserves, one he has waited on for years. He wakes up one morning knowing that this promotion, along with fashion model Angela Bradley-the woman of his dreams-are both his. But at the last minute, Joseph Anderson, his mentor and boss, goes with another candidate, and Michael is crushed. He immediately snaps, loses his job, and not long afterward, he loses the girl too. With the help of his best friend and a generous loan from the same man who fired him, Michael opens up his own business in Seattle-a business that is typically dominated by women. Chip-N-Nails is a nail salon with a titillating twist: All of the nail techs are handsome, muscular, sexy, topless men. The salon quickly becomes a hotspot-a place where you can get a bit of everything-but a great deal of drama is inevitable...even before the ink is dry on the lease!
