About the book:
Ilene Holloway is an independent, stubborn woman until you get to know her. Her past has left her guarded, but all she wants is to find love like everyone else around her. Her only problem is how dedicated she is to her job. A single mother trying to build the best life for her daughter has no room for love…or does it? As a new position opens at her firm, she works harder to demonstrate that she deserves it. What she doesn’t expect is the familiar face who swoops in and takes it from her.
Richard Pruitt is a widowed single dad who needs a fresh start. Recently offered a new position in a new town, he sets off to turn a new page in his life. His son Theo may not be as excited when he sees what else comes with this big move. One thing Richard didn’t see coming was his feisty one-night stand becoming his new employee. One thing is for certain: he may be her boss, but what happens off the clock is no one’s business besides their own.
Can Richard get Ilene to let her guard down or will she let this love slip away?
