About the book
Their journey to the altar...
Art photographer Anne Lundy was so independent that when she had to ask for help she could barely get the words out! Especially since the person she found herself needing was none other than the straitlaced, powerhouse attorney she'd told to stay out of her private life.
With his strictly business attitude, she'd never expected family friend Richard Danton to accompany her on the most important journey of her life--finally meeting her Japanese birth mother. But Rick had been doing quite a few surprising things lately, like making her yearn to loosen his tie...and to find out what happened when he lost control.
