The factory jokester is about to get serious – with the older woman who happens to be his new boss!

Jimmy
I’ve been working on the line in this small town factory since I graduated from high school, and when I get the opportunity to branch out and drive the forklift, I see it as a chance for a fresh start. My coworkers still think of me as the smart-mouthed kid in their group, but now that I’ve turned thirty-five, I’m ready to settle down. I’ve got a new look, a new home, and now, a new boss. I’ve also got a big problem, because the minute I laid eyes on Jordan I was head over heels in love with her.

Jordan
Sure, being a ‘foreman’ is a non-traditional career choice for a woman, but I love the work. When I’m offered the opportunity to lead the team at our Texas factory, I jump at the chance to move to a new town. Despite my being the first woman in this position here, everything is going great -- at least until I meet my new employee, Jimmy. His reputation as a jokester precedes him, and I’ve got no time for shenanigans on my team. I’ve also got no time for love, which is a shame, because when I look at Jimmy, I’m picturing happily ever after.

He's nine years younger than me, he’s my employee, and he’s dangerously irresistible. Despite my best intentions to stay focused on work, I can’t ignore the sparks flying between us. Our relationship shouldn’t work. But when he holds me in his arms, all of our differences fall away.

“Handling the Boss” is an opposites attract midlife romance with lighthearted hero, a super serious woman, a parrot with a swearing problem, and a town full of nosy matchmakers determined to help this couple find their forever love.
