Until We Touch (Hqn) (English Edition)
A woman with a heart of gold uses her Midas touch to humanize her boss and benefactor in Mallory’s latest, light-hearted Fools Gold romance. Twenty-eight-year-old Larissa Owens is right-hand woman to former professional quarterback Jack McGarry, now an executive at Score, the PR firm he, two NFL friends, and Jack’s ex-wife created. Besides being Jack’s scheduler and the company’s masseuse, Larissa has also been a mega-do-gooder for the past few months she’s lived in Fool’s Gold, California. From helping sick children to rescuing animals, Larissa has convinced Jack to fund her projects. When she finds a homeless teen, Percy, she talks Jack into taking the boy into his home, giving him a job at Score, and helping him get his GED. Larissa’s family and friends worry that Larissa’s love for Jack isn’t reciprocated. Having lost his twin brother when they were teens, then having his parents leave him, Jack believes he’s incapable of love. It takes reaching rock bottom and having Larissa and his friends rescue him to change Jack’s mind. --Pat Henshaw
