Prodigal Son
2006
To: Jack Hanson
From: David Hanson
Subject: Bringing you up to speed
I know you resent being called away from your law firm at a time like this, but believe me, Jack—your late father knew you were the only man who could save his business. You've got free rein to do whatever is necessary.
Saw you hired your old business school friend Samantha Edwards. She's a great choice. Not to mention the intense sparks flying between you. Take some advice from your uncle—loosen your tie and let go of your past. True, she's had her own share of heartache, but Samantha may be just the woman to show you how to live again....

The Boss and Miss Baxter
2006
TO: Nina Baxter
FROM: David Hanson
SUBJECT: An Offer You Can't Refuse...
Nina, I'm so sorry about the layoffs. Your dedication, not to mention your charm, has always made a good impression on me. So I'd love it if you considered working for me again, as my personal assistant. There's plenty of room for you and your adorable children in my apartment (and truthfully, their excitement would be a welcome distraction from my otherwise workaholic lifestyle!). I know you're worried about gossip—people might suggest this isn't strictly business—but we're more than capable of ignoring the sparks of attraction between us in favor of the bigger picture...aren't we?

The Baby Deal
2006
To: Andrew Hanson
From: Jack Hanson
Subject: You got your client what???
You've got to start thinking of the company before yourself, brother. Especially since you've gotten into trouble with your very first client! Delia McCray's a smart, beautiful entrepreneur, and Hanson Media Group is dying for her business. But I can't believe she's also pregnant with your baby—after spending just one night with you!
Andrew, you have to marry her—it's the right thing to do for the family, and it may be the only way to salvage the reputation of this company. Do whatever you have to do, but get her to the altar!

Falling For The Boss
2006
TO: Evan Hanson
FROM: Meredith Waters
SUBJECT: Our Secret Past
Which probably isn't even a secret now that I'm working at Hanson Media. Believe me, Evan, I didn't plan this when I took the job. All I know is twelve years ago you left town without so much as a kiss goodbye. Now you're back and when I'm with you I feel like the years apart never happened. But I promised myself not to fall in love again...especially with you. If only you'd stop looking at me that way! How are we supposed to work together and save your family business when all I can think about is dancing to that romantic song again? Soon you'll even have me believing in second chances....

Her Best-Kept Secret
2006
To: Jenny Anderson
From: Richard Warren
Re: My not-so-secret admiration for you
Jenny, I know you didn't relish giving up a plum reporting assignment to show me around Tokyo, but our days together have been much more intriguing than the merger I'm supposed to be working on. And I think even you can't deny that the sparks between us are sharper than a samurai's sword!
I just can't believe that someone as beautiful and loving as you might still feel like she doesn't fit in. I know you've always wondered about the woman who gave you up for adoption all those years ago. Well, finding her might be easier than you think...

Mergers & Matrimony
2006
To: Helen Hanson
From: Richard Warren
Re: Almost Through!
It's been an exhausting battle, but we're almost done with the merger between Hanson Media and the Japanese powerhouse TAKA Corporation. And we couldn't have done it without your business savvy, Helen. Your late husband, George, would be proud of all you've done to salvage the business for his kids.
I hear that you and the fierce head negotiator, Morito Taka, are getting on famously. I'm surprised that he'd even talk to someone from the other side of the negotiating table, but your all-American beauty and sparkling blue eyes seem to have captivated him! Just be careful, Helen: mixing work with pleasure can be a very risky business....
Authors
Susan Mallery
Author · 206 books
1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery writes heartwarming and humorous novels about the relationships that define women's lives—family, friendship, romance. She's best known for putting nuanced characters into emotionally complex, real-life situations with twists that surprise readers to laughter. Because Susan is passionate about animal welfare, pets play a big role in her books. Beloved by millions of readers worldwide, her books have been translated into 28 languages.
Critics have dubbed Mallery "the new queen of romantic fiction." (Walmart) Booklist says, "Romance novels don't get much better than Mallery's expert blend of emotional nuance, humor, and superb storytelling," and RT Book Reviews puts her "in a class by herself!" It's no wonder that her books have spent more than 200 weeks on the USA Today bestsellers list. Although Susan majored in Accounting, she never worked as an accountant because she was published straight out of college with two books the same month. Sixteen prolific years and seventy-four books later, she hit the New York Times bestsellers list for the first time with Accidentally Yours in 2008. She made many appearances in the Top 10 before (finally) hitting #1 in 2015 with Thrill Me, the twentieth book in her most popular series, the Fool's Gold romances, and the fourth of five books released that year. Susan lives in Washington state with her husband, two ragdoll cats, and a small poodle with delusions of grandeur. Her heart for animals has led Susan to become an active supporter of the Seattle Humane Society. Visit Susan online at www.SusanMallery.com.
