Wintersoft’s CEO is on a husband hunt

       for his daughter. Trouble is, Emily

       has uncovered his scheme. But can she marry off

       the eligible executives before Dad sets his

       crazy plan in motion?

      “Go home, Sarah.”

      “No. I think it’s time we had this out.”

      “I don’t,” Matt said. He couldn’t. Good bosses didn’t romance their subordinates.

      Completely catching him off guard, Sarah marched around his desk and trapped him in his seat by anchoring her hands on both arms of his chair. “I do.”

      In their entire work association, Matt didn’t think they had ever been this close. He could smell the light floral scent of her perfume and see the flecks of gold in her green eyes.

      “You should be thanking me, Sarah, for being a gentleman.”

      “What the heck is that supposed to mean?”

      “It means that if we were in any other kind of circumstance, I would be doing this right now.” Before she had a chance to react, Matt pulled her into his lap. Then he lowered his head for a kiss.

      SUSAN MEIER

      is one of eleven children, and though she has yet to write a book about a big family, many of her books explore the dynamics of “unusual” family situations, such as large work “families,” bosses who behave like overprotective fathers, or “sister” bonds created between friends. Because she has more than twenty nieces and nephews, children also are always popping up in her stories. Many of the funny scenes in her books are based on experiences raising her own children or interacting with her nieces and nephews.

      She was born and raised in western Pennsylvania and continues to live in Pennsylvania.

      FROM THE DESK OF EMILY WINTERS

      Six Bachelor Executives To Go

      Bachelor #1: Love, Your Secret Admirer

      Matthew Burke—Hmm…his sweet assistant clearly has googly eyes for her workaholic boss. Maybe I can make some office magic happen….

      Bachelor #2: Her Pregnant Agenda

      Grant Lawson—The guy’s a dead ringer for Pierce Brosnan— who wouldn’t want to fall into his strong, protective arms!

      Bachelor #3: Fill-In Fiancée

      Brett Hamilton—The playboy from England has some aristocratic ways about him. Maybe he’s royalty and I can find him a princess!

      Bachelor #4: Santa Brought a Son

      Reed Connors—The ambitious VP seems to have a heavy heart. Who broke it, and where is she now?

      Bachelor #5: Rules of Engagement

      Nate Leeman—Definitely a lone wolf kind of guy. A bit hard around the edges, but I’ll bet there’s a tender heart inside.

      Bachelor #6: One Bachelor To Go

      Jack Devon—The man is so frustratingly elusive. Arrogant and implacable, too, darn it! I’ll put him last on my matchmaking list until I can figure out what kind of woman he likes.
