Tessa Baker needs to break away from her overbearing and overprotective family, and the best way to do that is to take a job as far away as possible. She wants to be taken seriously, and that means beating them at their own game by succeeding where they thought she would fail. The only snag is her handsome boss, who has the potential to derail all her plans by stirring up feelings that weren't on the agenda. Josiah Shaw wants a capable, low-key manager who won't chase him and whom he doesn't want to chase. Tessa fits the bill perfectly, or so he thought. His life hasn't always been sunshine and roses, but now that he's found stability, he wants to hold on to it. Falling in love when least expected with a woman who wants to spread her wings and fly is not in the game plan. Can Tessa offer Josiah stability and still fly? Can Josiah learn that change can lead to exciting possibilities?
