A breezy, opposites-attract romance where a free spirit teaches a brilliant but clueless academic how to embrace the messy joy of living.
What it feels like
Reading this classic contemporary romance feels like a warm, breezy afternoon spent watching two complete opposites figure each other out.

It is a cozy, low-stakes comfort read that wraps the reader in an upbeat, playful atmosphere. The prose is accessible and dialogue-driven, focusing entirely on the emotional awakening of a man who knows everything about his field but nothing about life, and the woman who patiently guides him.

About the book
He wasn't in her job description
Mallory Littlefield's gorgeous new boss, Elliott Fraser, was a certified genius--a member of an elite group of "brains" who were paid top dollar just to think. But the poor man was a complete incompetent when it came to day-to-day life. Mallory quickly realized Elliott needed more than her secretarial skills.
Free-spirited Mallory was soon teaching him everything she knew--from driving a car to dancing cheek to cheek. And when Elliott developed an insatiable desire to learn about love, it didn't take a high IQ to guess where the lessons were leading!
