It’s November 1979 and Anna Cooper knows her mother wants her to find a rich husband but Anna refuses to fall in line with the plan. Since her mother has always harangued her for being fat and frumpy, she knows no man would want her any way. Eschewing the idle-rich existence her mother lives, Anna wants a job, and answers an intriguing ad in the paper. Craig and Jackson Jessop might be considered investment gurus, but organized they are not. They decide what they need is an office manager—someone who can create order out of their chaos and manage them. It would be helpful, too, if the successful candidate possessed good pattern recognition skills. The minute they set eyes on Anna Cooper, they know she was meant to be theirs. Winning her as their bride should be easy. All they have to do is negotiate their way past a beast of a future mother-in-law, a con man looking to scalp them, and the biggest obstacle of all—Anna, herself, who doesn’t seem to know what a gem she truly is.
