Saying Yes to the Boss #3905

Books by Jackie Braun

HARLEQUIN ROMANCE®

Dear Reader,

A woman’s first love holds a very special place in her heart. All these years later, I can still remember what I was wearing when I received my first real kiss, as well as the maudlin songs I played over and over on the stereo when that boy dumped me for someone else.

Ali Conlan’s childhood sweetheart broke her heart, too. First loves never last. Or do they? In exploring that question I came up with Their Unfinished Business.

As the title implies, Luke and Ali have not quite gotten over their past relationship. Of course, both of them like to think they have. Luke is now a successful businessman, but when he returns to Trillium Island as an investor in the Conlans’ resort, he soon realizes that what he and Ali once shared is exactly what his life has been missing the past ten years. My headstrong heroine takes some convincing, though.

I hope you enjoy the second story of my CONLANS OF TRILLIUM ISLAND trilogy. Just wait till you find out what I have in store for Dane. His story, Saying Yes to the Boss, is coming from Harlequin Romance in August.

Best wishes,

Jackie Braun

“I envy Ali Conlan her lake view. Okay, Trillium Island is fictional, but Lake Michigan is real. Anyone who has had the privilege of watching the sun sink into that vast Great Lake knows that no camera has yet been invented that can capture the pure magic.

—Jackie Braun on Their Unfinished Business

This one’s for the girls: Monica, Kelly and Teresa. Enduring friendships are a rare gift.

Thank you.

“NO. NO way. Absolutely not!”

Ali Conlan crossed her arms over her chest and glared at her twin sister across the dinner table.

“What’s the big deal?” Audra asked. Arching her brows, she added, “I mean, unless you’re not over him. Alice. ”

It turned out a person really could see red when mad, Ali realized as her vision tinted crimson.

Through gritted teeth, she said tightly, “Don’t call me Alice. And I am over Luke Banning. I was over him five minutes after he left town with you eleven years ago. ”
