Merry Manager — Pamela M. Kelley

Wade Weston is a workaholic. He's too busy working to think much about dating and the only person he's remotely interested in is off-limits.

Maddie Johnson is a widow with an eight-year-old daughter, Vivian. Wade was the best man at their wedding. She works at the ranch running the spa and is a masseuse.

Maddie hasn't really been ready to date anyone and the only one who interests her even a little is Wade, but for obvious reasons, that can't happen.
