Jenny's week isn't going well. She loses both her job and her apartment and is forced to move back home with her parents. At least she'll be living in a loft over the garage instead of in a dreaded basement. Unable to get a job to suit her qualifications, she finds herself working at her father's hardware store, mixing and delivering paint to contractors. Thinking she couldn't possibly have a job more unsuited to her abilities, she soon realizes her mistake when she finds herself standing shoulder to shoulder with a cranky house painter who is impatiently explaining the intricacies of using a paint sprayer to her.

Charles had been hearing stories for years about Jenny, aka Snow White, and when he finally meets the paragon, he realizes the stories were truer than he'd thought. Unfortunately, he and the paragon can't seem to get along, which is a problem since he needs her help or he won't be able to fulfill the biggest contract he's ever been given.

About the author

Diane M. Pratt

Welcome to my (auto) biography. You probably don't want to know that I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, sister-in-law, aunt, great-aunt, grandmother, and friend, so I'll skip all that. You may not really care that I have no writing qualifications, unless you consider my seventh grade Literature (pronounced LIT-ra-tour) class with Miss Honeycutt. I haven't won any awards unless you'd count the three times I was Employee of the Month.

I started writing for several reasons I won't bore you with, and decided that stories with happy endings are all I want to write. In each of my stories, my characters live ordinary lives and have ordinary jobs. The heroine could be someone like the woman sitting across from you on the train. The hero could be similar to the man climbing out of the taxi in front of yours. Ordinary people with ordinary lives who somehow meet, and after days, weeks, months of trying to understand the other, realize that their lives have become extraordinary. Because romance and love are extraordinary.
