Short description

A workaholic woman trying to plan her way out of childhood heartbreak unexpectedly falls in love.

Extended description

Ava Blake has planned every step of her successful career, and she sees no reason why she shouldn’t be able to do the same with her personal life. She wants to be married by age twenty-nine, a birthday that is rapidly approaching. Passion would be a plus, but Ava isn't one to leave things to chance, so she has a back-up plan in the love department: a childhood friend who is more than willing to step up and be the groom in her happily-ever-after.

A few months short of that milestone birthday, Ava meets Marcus Whittaker, the sexy CEO of a company that has contracted Ava to write a business continuity plan in just sixty days, an all but impossible task. Marcus seems to be perfect for her. But an office romance isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be. Ava may be the same person in the office that she is out of it, but Marcus isn’t. He’s selling IntelCorp when the plan is finished so that he can get back to the music career he abandoned in order to raise his three sisters. From ..

She wants to be married by age twenty-nine, a birthday that is rapidly approaching. Passion would be a plus, but Ava isn't one to leave things to chance, so she has a back-up plan in the love department: a childhood friend who is more than willing to step up and be the groom in her happily-ever-after.

A few months short of that milestone birthday, Ava meets Marcus Whittaker, the sexy CEO of a company that has contracted Ava to write a business continuity plan in just sixty days, an all but impossible task. Marcus seems to be perfect for her. But an office romance isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be. Ava may be the same person in the office that she is out of it, but Marcus isn’t. He’s selling IntelCorp when the plan is finished so that he can get back to the music career he abandoned in order to raise his three sisters. From here on out, Marcus doesn't want to be responsible for or to anyone but himself.

Anonymous threats suggest that the most likely crisis facing IntelCorp is not the one that Ava is planning for. And as deadlines loom on all fronts, she must not only reconsider everything she has come to believe about life - including the extent to which a person can ever plan anything - she must also confront the disorder, the upheaval, and the wonderful unpredictability of falling in love.
