“The true star of this story is the voice. Just stellar.” -The One Hundred Romances Project (Chosen as one of 2011’s “fabulous romance reads” from emerging small-press authors)

“Amazing! Very rare to find a great story that doesn’t just follow a predictable formula. …wonderfully unpredictable, fun, funny, and had everything one could want.” - Reader review

Sarah-Jane Quinn has many secret dreams: to own the bed-and-breakfast inn where she stayed as a child; to finally capture the elusive Coleridge “Collie” Tate, on whom she has an enormous crush; and most importantly, to be someone’s top priority for once in her life.

But Collie is a single father with a potential custody battle on his hands, and Sarah ranks roughly Number 917 on his list of concerns. So when Gus Haldemann, the sophisticated director of Human Resources, shows a marked interest in her, she finds it not only flattering (and mystifying), but decidedly tempting and irresistible.

And then Sarah is brutally attacked by a violent stalker. In the aftermath, she must re-evaluate her priorities and decide which man reaches deepest into her heart – and let the other go forever.
