A Valentine Proposal

Summary

Just as free-spirited bookstore employee Cleo Davis faces closure of her beloved shop, the owner informs her it will continue as part of the successful Stephens chain. When the chain's risk assessor, the very reserved, very attractive Mark Stephens, enters the store to look over her business plan, Cleo clashes with him right away. Oil and water have nothing on them.

Mark has always followed the rules. But the minute he steps into vibrant and spunky Cleo's store, he knows he's in trouble. One moment he's in her "craft corner" painting bookends with kids, the next in a bidding war with Cleo at a charity auction. He can't deny that opposites attract, and Cleo's vivacious personality has him rethinking his life in more ways than one.

But when Cleo's store officially becomes part of the bookstore chain, Mark will become her boss . . . and completely off limits.
