Rachel Fredrick needs a job in the worst way, but knows she'll never find one—at least, not a legitimate one—if anyone recognizes her, and her past comes to light. But she has to provide for her children. So, she dons baggy clothes, a hideous wig, and green-shaded glasses, and goes in search of a decent paying job. She might not bother with the disguise, but for the sake of her children, to keep them from being exposed to vicious headlines and nasty gossip about their mother.
When she walks through the door of Jared Morgan's office at Channel 3 TV, Jared is suddenly called to engineering for an emergency. When he returns hours later, not only is his applicant still there, but she has caught him up on all his pending correspondence, organized his incoming mail, and prioritized a stack of phone messages. Rachel Fredrick is definitely the one to fill the position as his secretary. Maybe she's also The One. The attraction he feels is instant, and strong. Not even her dowdy appearance can keep his blood from heating.
Rachel knows she can handle the job, but how is she going to handle Jared, when she feels the pull of those deep green eyes? And what will happen when he learns who she really is? She will lose not only a man she is coming to care deeply for, but also the job she needs so desperately.
Then a reporter from her past appears and threatens to bring her world crashing down. She has to tell Jared the truth. Yet how can she, when telling him means losing him, and exposing her children to terrible gossip about her past?
But Jared, and fate, have a different future in mind. If only Rachel will give them a chance.
