Anne Marchand is a successful, independent businesswoman who loved her late husband, Remy, with all her heart, and no one could ever take his place. William Armstrong knows that, but he'll do anything in his power to make Anne see that it's okay to love again. William's a patient man. It was discipline and a willingness to take risks that helped him build his hotel chain. And when he sees Anne's beloved Hotel Marchand being threatened by a takeover bid, he can't sit back and do nothing, so he counters with a secret offer himself. The only mistake he makes is not telling Anne.
Author

A letter to Rod Stewart resulting in a Cinderella birthday for her daughter sowed the seeds of New York Times and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear's writing career. A lifelong avid reader, at the age of forty-five with no experience and no training, she decided to see if she could write a book. It was a wild leap that turned her whole life upside down, but she would tell you that though she's never been more terrified, she's never felt more exhilarated or more alive. She's an ardent proponent of not putting off your dreams until that elusive 'someday'—take that leap now. Over fifty published novels later, the five-time RITA finalist and RTBookReviews Career Achievement Award winner has accumulated a whole passel of war stories to swap and loves nothing better than talking writing and books with readers and fellow writers. And she'd still take that leap, war wounds and all.
