Emmaline Sharp knows pain but she has channeled that pain into a sucessful career and wonderful friendships.Tobias Merchant has also known pain and loss but he is drowning in guilt that threatens to take over his life.  Neither is what the other is looking for, yet they are exactly what the other needs.The story starts off with a bang.  Emma is acting out another of the outragous dares that she pulls with her two best friends.  While running naked down the street she is rescued by this handsome stranger.  A handsome stranger that off course turns out to be her new buisness partner.This was an enjoyable story.  I like both characters and how the author highlighted different ways that people deal with pain and loss.The reason it only get 4 stars though is the language was sometimes off.  Almost like it was a translation for another language.  Phrases like "I woke up at dawn's crack."  We don't talk like that.  You would say "the crack of dawn".  It was those weird moments that would pull me out of the story as I tried to figure out what was wrong.  It was also descriptions like that which made the story seem to drag.  It was strange because the characters would be having this great zippy conversation and then something would pull you out of the moment.Over all it was a very enjoyable story.  There was just something off with some of the phrasing.
