Jessie Benedict is the peacekeeper in her family. Her father, Vincent Benedict, is a workaholic who just doesn't know how to deal with the members of his family. Jessie runs interference when her mom or stepmother need money from Vincent. She re-arranges his schedule when her father forgets about a school function he promised to attend for her little sister. She does all of these things willingly, but she isn't about to marry her father's new CEO, Sam "Hatch" Hatchard, to keep that business in the family. He may be sexy, but Jessie sees Hatch as a carbon copy of her father and she isn't about to marry someone who cares more about the business than his family. Hatch cares for Jessie. He must figure out a way to convince her he is nothing like her father when it comes to relationships.

This book was originally published in 1991 and it feels like it. Hatch is a typical arrogant, alpha hero from the 90's. He's in charge and knows he will eventually get Jessie in line with his plan. Jessie is a smart but quirky heroine who can't keep a job. She's been fired over and over from various jobs. Her latest position is as an assistant to a psychic. When the psychic is hospitalized, Jessie takes over a case involving a missing college student and a dangerous cult. When Hatch learns of the case she is working on, he volunteers to help her exposes the cult.

I listened to the audio version of this book. It was narrated by Amy McFadden who did an incredible job with the many characters. My rating: 4 Stars.
