About the book
Jordan Quest was a man to whom power was everything. He expected his employees to jump at his beck and call, and Hannah understood why no secretary had ever stayed with Jordan long. She was about to continue that revolving-door tradition. Nothing came before her son, Danny, or the cherished memories of her husband. And Hannah had made it clear from the start that her private life was her own. Jordan, however, had other ideas. His notorious charm had won over Danny, her friends...and, despite her best defenses, was coining perilously close to storming Hannah's heart!
