A chance encounter with Madeline Reynolds left me longing for a person I hardly knew. In fact, I didn't even know her last name or who she was. Call me an idiot, but I had no idea she was a big deal CEO or record-breaking businesswoman. Maybe that came from living the widowed single-dad life and working myself into the ground.


She'd hooked my ruined heart, and even when I find out who she is and know she's out of my league, I can't help wanting her.


I can't help doing anything she asks me, even if it makes me a fool. I take the job landscaping her vacation home even though it'll put me in her path constantly when I know I should stay away.


I can't help hoping that when she leaves-and make no mistake, she will-that she'll at least remember me. I know I'll never forget her.
