But she forgets her purse and proposal file at the restaurant, Derek saves the day by bring it to her office just in time, but not leaving quick enough leaves them in a bind. Her manipulative boss sees them together and forces them to pretend like they are engaged to show the investor that this is a family company. They go along with it so she can keep her job. But along the way the fake attraction turns very real.I really enjoyed this book. Both of them have their own issues that they are working on and I love the fact that both of them change for the better for each other. Derek isn't your typical hero in a book, I love that he doesn't know how to express himself and that she brings out the true him that has been shoved down by his father. I wish Diane would have went into more details about his "Daddy issues". But even without them I fell in love with both characters.
