She arrives early, stays late and never misses a day. If it weren't for Eleanor's skill as a private secretary, her architect boss would never make a deadline. Not only does she keep him on track, she runs interference between him and his over-bearing mother, his deadbeat brother, and the half dozen or so women who want to bed him and/or wed him.
When Jess Norton acquires a new client who asks him to build a palatial hideaway on Grand Cayman Island, Jess is certain he'll never be able to complete the multi-million dollar job without the help of his efficient secretary. Despite her reservations, he convinces Eleanor to accompany him on the assignment of a lifetime.

Excerpt
“I
didn’t hear you come in,” Eleanor said, as she followed her boss into his
office.
He
chuckled, the timbre of his voice sinking into her subconscious. There were
many things about her boss’ life she’d learned to ignore, or at least accept.
His deep, sexy voice wasn’t one of them.
“You
were too busy discussing pastry with our new receptionist.”
Eleanor
met his teasing gaze and broad grin. “She’s inquisitive, and very bright.”
“And
now she knows everything there is to know about pastry in the workplace.” He
removed his suit jacket and handed it to her before adding, “As long as she can
answer the phone without hiccupping in the client’s ear, I’m happy.”
Eleanor
did her best to control an outright laugh. “Yes, that was definitely a problem.
I can’t imagine wanting to be a receptionist if you panic every time the phone
rings.”
“Whatever
happened to…what was her name? Clarice?” he asked. “Did you let her go?”
Eleanor
shook her head. “I transferred her to the mailroom.”
“Good
for you. I hate to see anyone out of a job.” Reaching for the telephone he
asked, “Has my sainted mother called already this morning?”
“Yes.
She thinks you’re angry with her and don’t want to speak to her.”
Looking
up until their gazes met, he rolled his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t know
where she got that idea. No wait. It might have something to do with the fact
she arranged another blind date for me.”
Eleanor
quickly covered a smile with her hand and pretended to cough. “She worries
about you.”
“Worrying
is one thing. Arranging a date with one of this year’s debutantes is
ridiculous. Hell, I’m nearly old enough be the girl’s father.”
A
quick, and thoroughly unwanted, picture flashed through Eleanor’s thoughts.
Jess Norton surrounded by a bevy of evening gown clad debutantes, each of them
doing their best to snag a rich, influential businessman. “If you check the
engagement announcements in the newspaper, it seems most well-established
businessmen prefer to marry gently-raised, properly educated younger girls.”
AUTHOR Bio and
Links:
Like
most authors, Nancy Fraser began writing at an early age, usually on the walls
and with crayons or, heaven forbid, permanent markers. Her love of writing
often made her the English teacher’s pet, which, of course, resulted in a whole
lot of teasing. Still, it was worth it.
When
not writing (which is almost never), Nancy dotes on her five beautiful
grandchildren and looks forward to traveling and reading when time permits.
Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where she enjoys the relaxed pace and colorful
people.
