With her second book,Winning the Boss's Heart (Entangled Indulgence), Hayson Manning took us to her beautiful home country of New Zealand.  Set in the bucolic coastal town of Footsteps Bay, Mason Christian hired Billie McLeod to work as his personal assistant on a project he hoped would be completed quickly.Billie was a heroine who knew her own worth.  After suffering some personal setbacks, she was saving money to finish her degree, and working for Mason seemed like the fastest way to earn the most money.  She fearlessly challenged Mason and the sarcastic nicknames she created for him, were inspired.  Nothing like treating the boss with the same impersonal disdain, as he treated his employees.Mason was a deeply broken man, sublimating his emotions in his work and keeping people at arm's length.  As his feelings for Billie grew, he was forced to confront some painful events from his past.  Little did Mason know that fate would intervene, to give him a compelling second chance at love story.  Ms. Manning beautifully constructed and sensitively handled, Mason's heartbreaking past.Billie and Mason's interactions ran the gamut of emotions from trepidation, to antagonism, to friendship, and finally, acceptance, and love.  Lovingly meddlesome townsfolk and growing spicy, sexy action rounded out this terrific story.WithWife in Name Only (Entangled Indulgence), Hayson Manning became a must-read author for me.  After,Winning the Boss's Heart (Entangled Indulgence), she became a must-preorder or must-1-click author for me.  I highly recommend her books for well-developed characters, richly illustrated locations and secondary characters and multi-layered storytelling.
