Short description

Sarah-Jane Quinn has many secret dreams, not the least of which is capturing the elusive Coleridge “Collie” Tate, on whom she has an enormous crush. Then the handsome HR director confuses things by showing an interest in her. But when Sarah is brutally attacked by a stalker, she must re-evaluate her priorities and decide which man reaches deepest into her heart – and let the other go forever

Extended description

Sarah-Jane Quinn has many secret dreams: to own the bed-and-breakfast inn where she stayed as a child; to finally capture the elusive Coleridge “Collie” Tate, on whom she has an enormous crush; and most importantly, to be someone’s top priority for once in her life.

But Collie is a single father with a potential custody battle on his hands, and Sarah ranks roughly Number 917 on his list of concerns. So when Gus Haldemann, the sophisticated director of Human Resources, shows a marked interest in her, she finds it not only flattering (and mystifying), but decidedly tempting and irresistible.

And then Sarah is brutally attacked by a violent stalker. In the aftermath, she must re-evaluate her priorities and decide which man reaches deepest into her heart – and let the other go forever.

Review by: Gabriele Carmona on July 21, 2012 :
an absolute extraordinary story. the author provides multiple twists and turns that are totally captivating. the characters are very well thought out, and we're given insight into human behavior and psyche that by far exceed the standard novel.
the story is an awesome read and I can only highly recommend this book.

It is a wonderful book. The characters are so real and the description of events involved keep you glued to the book. They are so beautifully connected, you won't for once feel bored. I can say it is one of the best books I have read so far. A must read.

Amazing! Very rare to find a great story that doesn't just follow a predictable formula. Very impressed! That's saying a lot since I just expected a silly romance that would just fill the time!

Wow! Thought I was gonna read a typical romance that followed the general romance formula but was thrilled to find a book that is wonderfully unpredictable, fun, funny, and had everything one could want. I am very impressed with Ms. Gerlach's ability to tell a story in a way that doesn't just follow a predictable formula. Absolutely loved it!

I can't begin to describe how much I enjoyed this story! I love the style of writing, the in depth characters and the humor throughout the story. Mostly, I appreciate the added serious issues that happen every day that many people simply ignore. Wonderful book! You won't be disappointed

Review by: sometimesOctavia on Aug. 25, 2011 :
This story was extraordinary. Ms. Gerlach's writing style is engrossing and descriptive, and some of her characters seem more real than people I actually know. This story does deal with some serious issues in graphic detail, making the story all the more impactive, heartbreaking, and healing. Not to mention, it's just plain sexy! I highly recommend-- you won't regret picking this one up.

Wow, I'm not sure where to start. Office Politics was awesome, but this book was even better. There's humor sprinkled all through this book, but there are some VERY serious issues involved in the story. One thing I like about Sharon Gerlach's writing is that she always pulls you into the story. You feel for the characters and go through everything with them. I didn't want the book to end. And, I have to admit, reading this book made me late for work a few mornings!
