Finley dreads the day Roscoe, her beloved 75-year-old boss and president of Broady Engineering, will retire, not only because he's the most wonderful boss she could ever hope to have, but Roscoe's son, Cash, will be taking over the company. Cash, who as far as Finley can determine, doesn't even have a real job since he's too busy tinkering with cars. Finley suspects he still lives at home with Roscoe, but she doesn't dare ask. When the day arrives for Roscoe to leave, Finley is finally introduced to Cash, the new president, dressed in jeans and a polo shirt of all things, and she knows the company is destined for disaster.

 

When Cash finally meets Finley Everett, the paragon he's been hearing about for the past four years, the one who's been fooling his father into thinking she's all that and a bag of chips, he knows the two of them will never be able to get along, let alone work together to continue to make Broady a success. Until the day he realizes there's much more to Finley than he'd first thought, and his challenge is to knock down the wall she's built around her heart.

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.
