Falling for Her - Patricia Mclinn

. .

Résumé :
A woman who's built walls around her heart. The man who tears them down. Meet Josh Kincannon, busy high school principal, community go-to-guy, single father of three -- and thus, as he reminds himself ruefully, celibate back into misty memory and forward into who-knows-when. After three months of trying to work with Vanessa Irish via phone and e-mails on a project to help tiny Drago, Illinois, Josh believes he has an accurate picture of Zeke-Tech's CFO: Conscientious? Oh, yeah. Intelligent? Absolutely. Agreeable? Not so much. Then he catches sight of her wild, vibrant robe and begins to wonder what other elements might form a portrait of Vanessa Irish. Every time she goes into her I'm-so-boring-I-disappear-against-white-walls act, he remembers that vibrant, wild fabric hanging on the corner of a door and he gets curious. And the more curious he becomes, the more he discovers about her that has him feeling things a whole lot hotter than curiosity. Things that shake up life as single parent to his three kids, scrape against his career as high school principal and -- oh, yes -- definitely threaten his stretch of celibacy. Numbers, that's where Vanessa is comfortable. Not all this interaction with people that she's been pitched into. Especially interacting with Josh Kincannon. Why does he insist on drawing her into his small town, his life, his children? And the biggest question -- what kind of man is this, who not only looks at her, but SEES her, when that's the last thing she wants? Or is it? Seasons in a Small Town series What Are Friends For?
