The Old-Fashioned Way — Geeta Kingsley

A business proposition

Abby Silver couldn't fathom Daniel Hawthorn's abrupt decision to vacation in Carbon Canyon. Surely the dynamically sexy businessman wasn't interested in her? She'd only asked him about running her family's store more effectively--not making her his next project! Before she knew it, Daniel had insinuated himself into her life. . and Abby feared her heart was next... .

Daniel couldn't understand why he'd had to contact Abby after their first tempestuous meeting. She was prickly, rude and obviously uninterested in him--or his advice. But despite her rebuffs, Daniel found himself thinking up excuses to linger in her friendly, charming town. And his ultramodern life-style began to take a back seat to some very old-fashioned ideas about a real home, a loving family...and marriage to Abby!
