Publisher's Synopsis
Maggie
After one too many bad dates, I've decided it's time to focus on other things-like my new job as a first-grade teacher or learning how to control the anxiety that seems to plague me every minute of every day. Men are a waste of my time, anyway-or, at least, that's what my sister Annie says.
But then, I collide with an attractive, mysterious man in the school hallway over the summer. Not only did I accidentally knee him in the family jewels, but he also overheard a phone conversation with my sister that nobody was meant to hear.
Despite his prickly personality, I can't seem to get him out of my head, and once the ice thaws, the same seems to be true for him.
There's only one problem:
He's my new boss.
Jeremy
After losing my wife in a tragic car accident a year ago, raising our six-year-old daughter alone proves more than I can manage. Taking my best friend's advice, I move to his hometown. After all, I need all the support I can get.
But once I'm there, I find myself overwhelmed with a new job I'm not prepared for, an elderly neighbor who doesn't know personal boundaries, and a woman who, despite my best efforts, I can't get out of my head.
I can't deny the sparks between us, but friendship is all I can offer her because not only is she eight years younger than me...
She's my employee.
