However, all his expectations, including his idea of a business-like marriage of convenience, vanish the moment Charlie crashes into him.
When she makes the final round of interviews, Anne decides to combine her time in Seattle interviewing with a vacation trip to her family’s inn on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands.

Is their relationship only a vacation romance as they agreed from the beginning, or will it turn into something more when Anne moves back to Seattle?
Just as Anne begins to hope for more, the unthinkable is revealed. Ben is none other than her new boss. Worse yet is that he thinks that she only used him to get the job!
