Careful What You Wish For

2018

Harper Sullivan has one wish - to catch the person sabotaging O’Rourke Signature Events. She needs to make up for her past actions and she can’t stand the thought of anyone hurting her feisty, generous boss Gertie O’Rourke. Lucky thing she has the perfect person to help - her uncle Tanner. He should know how to catch someone hell bent on destruction since he’s a master at it himself. When Harper catches the new guy, Logan Carter, doing something suspicious, she thinks she has discovered the culprit. Undercover P.I. Logan Carter didn’t take Gertie O’Rourke seriously at first, but now he’s starting to think there may be something to the kooky old lady's accusations that someone is trying to ruin her business. He’s grown fond of Gertie and wants to see her succeed, but when he sees Harper Sullivan doing something she shouldn’t, he can’t bring himself to turn her in right away. It has nothing to do with the way her red curls make his heart beat faster, either. Accusing someone of tampering is serious and he wants to be certain. But as Harper and Logan set out to prove each other is the culprit, they soon realize the threat is more sinister than either of them suspects... not just to O’Rourke Signature Events but also to their hearts.
