Spoiler alertHolly Oakwood runs from England to Los Angeles, California when she finds her boyfriend is two timing her with her best friend.  In her new job, her boss the Trade Commissioner, Brittany Brooke doesn't like her, and to make her look bad in the eyes of their boss, Guy Cutler, she gives her product lines that are impossible to place in the USA market or with insufficient time to complete it.Adapting to her new life away from family friends and anything she knows, Holly makes friends with Charlie, a great hair stylist, but not so good in the relationship area. At a fundraiser she makes a spectacle of herself and the next day finds out that it is her new department head boss, returned from one of his many international flights. She believes his interest is pity. Compared to the beautiful but money and status grubbing Brittany what else is she supposed to think?My own peeves nearly stopped me from reading past the first few pages. My suggestion? Keep reading. The novel quickly changes direction and I had a fun time reading it. Ms. Jones uses multiple point of view characters. It is easy to keep up with what is happening in the novel and what motivates each character.  I liked the way she showed the USA compared to England without feeling "too" offended by some of the judgments. LOL.
