Love in plain sight

Debbie Macomber

Love 'n' marriage: Sometimes love's right there in front of you. As Stephanie Coulter discovers, sometimes you find it in the most ordinary places--and what could be more ordinary than the office? Stephanie, who works as an assistant at Lockwood Industries in Minneapolis, is temporarily assigned to the boss--Jonas Lockwood himself. Jonas lives up (or down!) to his reputation as a tyrant, dictator and grouch. But Stephanie's colleagues, romance readers all, decide that he's really the classic lonely hero. What he needs, they say, is "Love 'n' Marriage." And the woman they have in mind for him is ... Stephanie. Almost an angel: Bethany Stone, on the other hand, is "already" in love with her boss, Joshua Norris, although their relationship is strictly business. But one day he asks for her help--"outside" the office. Joshua's ten-year-old daughter, Angie, is coming to live with him and he has no idea how to raise a precocious little girl. Angie might be "Almost an Angel, " but she quickly develops a matchmaking plan for her dad--and Bethany!
