Product Description

Workaholic Ryan O'Fallon has made his name as an architect in a top San Diego firm in more ways than one. On the job, he's the go-to guy who can face down the toughest client without flinching. Off the job, he's got a rep for playing the field. The company lunchroom odds give his average relationship a whopping ten weeks and two days. And, nobody knows better than Effie Wilson, Ryan's co-worker and competitor. After all, she's won the last two pools on his lack-of-love life and has the Gucci shoes to prove it. Ryan may be Mr. Calm and Cool in the boardroom, but when Effie's around, he starts to sweat. As if things weren't tense enough, Ryan's dad needs him at home just as Ryan's biggest project is taking off. There's no way Ryan won't help out his dad, but he's not about to let Effie stay and take all the credit. The only thing to do is to bring her with him to Tennessee so they can work together. Now, back in O'Fallon's Landing, with its slow, easy days and long, steamy nights, Effie's letting her hair down big time, going from a buttoned-up businesswoman into a full-fledged, no-holds-barred force of nature...the kind that's turning Ryan's world upside down and putting anything but business on his mind.

Great Read....A Real Winner
Dianne has definitely written another winner and a great story to kick off her new series. Effie Wilson and Ryan O'Fallon are coworkers and competitors but are working on a large project together in their California offices when Ryan finds out that there has been a baby left at his father's home in Tennessee. Everyone assumes it is Ryan's and he must go back there to find out why the baby was left and exactly who the mother might be. Effie goes along, since they are on a time line for the project. There has always been an attraction between them, and since they are away from the office, they decide to have sex with each other to get over the sexual tension only find that once did nothing to relieve the tension at all. The baby is actually Ryan's half-sister, and the mother is missing. The interaction between Ryan and Effie, and the efforts to find the baby's Mother, makes this a page turning story, that is hard to put down, as you want to find out more. All small towns have secrets and this one is no different. In her usual style Dianne has written a warm, witty story and has made her characters so true to life that you can really relate to them. I am looking forward to the next book in this series, and am sure that it will be worth the wait.
