Will Anthony see that the woman of his dreams has been right there all along?

This is second book by Ms. Guhrke that I read and I absolutly loved it. It's a fascinating, well written love story.

After our heroine, Daphne got her heart broken by Anthony, she decides that it's time to move on. So, she tells him that she wants to resign because she doesn't want to continue to work for him simply by the fact that she doesn't like him...

But Anthony isn't willing to let his best employee go away so he begins his campaign to charm her and make wanting to continue to work for him.

While doing it, he starts to see her as a beautiful woman. Being captivated by her, he starts to court her in a very original way, by using the language of flowers. This is a very intereting subject and it was wonderful to see how it all ended. This is definitely a book to keep .
