About the book

Secretary Sara Browning has just discovered that relationships with the boss don't always work-- especially when he's decided to marry someone else! Desperately needing to hide from her humiliation, Sara decides to leave London and stay at her parents' home in Shropshire while she works things out. But Shropshire offers a distraction Sara never expected....Tree specialist Stuart Delaney is everything her former boss and ex-love isn't. He's reliable, kind, sympathetic... and from the sound of it, has a few romantic scars of his own. In fact, he's exactly what Sara wants in a husband-- and Stuart is crazy about her. Suddenly Sara finds herself engaged to be married to the perfect guy--but she doesn't love him. Still, if everything looks good on paper, shouldn't there be a happily ever after...eventually?
