About the book
All Work and No Play... Melanie Jones didn't have time for fun. She was devoted to managing Ettinger's department-store chain -- and to helping any charity she could find. She'd never kicked up her heels and had a good time until Franklin Harrison Ettinger, the Third, returned from Europe to claim his fortune -- and her job! Worried about the corrupting influence of his wealth, Harry had turned his back on his glittering future. Now he was ready to accept his familial responsibilities, especially when they included learning the business from spirited Melly. She had a heart of gold, and Harry wanted to earn a special place in it. Could he show Melly that woman does not live by career alone?
