BLURB:
Eleanor Martin is every company's dream employee. She
arrives early, stays late and never misses a day. If it weren't for Eleanor's
skill as a private secretary, her architect boss would never make a deadline.
Not only does she keep him on track, she runs interference between him and his
over-bearing mother, his deadbeat brother, and the half dozen or so women who
want to bed him and/or wed him.
When Jess Norton acquires a new client who asks him to build a palatial hideaway on Grand Cayman Island, Jess is certain he'll never be able to complete the multi-million dollar job without the help of his efficient secretary. Despite her reservations, he convinces Eleanor to accompany him on the assignment of a lifetime.
The sun and the sand cast the perfect spell for romance But will the tides turn in the opposite direction?

Excerpt:
“I didn’t hear you come in,” Eleanor
said, as she followed her boss into his office.
He chuckled, the timbre of his voice
sinking into her subconscious. There were many things about her boss’ life
she’d learned to ignore, or at least accept. His deep, sexy voice wasn’t one of
them.
“You were too busy discussing pastry
with our new receptionist.”
Eleanor met his teasing gaze and broad
grin. “She’s inquisitive, and very bright.”
“And now she knows everything there is
to know about pastry in the workplace.” He removed his suit jacket and handed
it to her before adding, “As long as she can answer the phone without
hiccupping in the client’s ear, I’m happy.”
Eleanor did her best to control an
outright laugh. “Yes, that was definitely a problem. I can’t imagine wanting to
be a receptionist if you panic every time the phone rings.”
“Whatever happened to…what was her
name? Clarice?” he asked. “Did you let her go?”
Eleanor shook her head. “I transferred
her to the mailroom.”
“Good for you. I hate to see anyone
out of a job.” Reaching for the telephone he asked, “Has my sainted mother
called already this morning?”
“Yes. She thinks you’re angry with her
and don’t want to speak to her.”
Looking up until their gazes met, he
rolled his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know where she got that idea. No
wait. It might have something to do with the fact she arranged another blind
date for me.”
Eleanor quickly covered a smile with
her hand and pretended to cough. “She worries about you.”
“Worrying is one thing. Arranging a
date with one of this year’s debutantes is ridiculous. Hell, I’m nearly old
enough be the girl’s father.”
A quick, and thoroughly unwanted,
picture flashed through Eleanor’s thoughts. Jess Norton surrounded by a bevy of
evening gown clad debutantes, each of them doing their best to snag a rich,
influential businessman. “If you check the engagement announcements in the
newspaper, it seems most well-established businessmen prefer to marry
gently-raised, properly educated younger girls.”
“Not me. I prefer my women a bit more
on the experienced side.”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Like most authors, Nancy Fraser began
writing at an early age, usually on the walls and with crayons or, heaven
forbid, permanent markers. Her love of writing often made her the English
teacher’s pet, which, of course, resulted in a whole lot of teasing. Still, it
was worth it.
When not writing (which is almost
never), Nancy dotes on her five beautiful grandchildren and looks forward to
traveling and reading when time permits. Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where
she enjoys the relaxed pace and colorful people.
