The Maine Event

Romancing the Workplace

Rachel Holmes is a high-powered PR exec with a laser focus on success. Her life revolves around landing the next big deal.

Dan Rhodes used to be a soap opera star—now, he’s a single dad living a quiet life, far from the limelight.

When a travel mix-up leaves Rachel stranded on the wrong side of the country, her plans for a career-defining pitch go up in smoke. Instead, she finds herself navigating an unexpected connection with the charming—but stubborn—Dan and his daughter, Chloe.

Rachel doesn’t do detours, but between getting tangled up in Dan’s world and uncovering a softer side to her own ambitions, she’s facing a crossroads she never saw coming.

Her future was always clear… until now.

A swoon-worthy, opposites-attract romance about love, family, and the unexpected journeys that lead us home. This is a low-spice romance.
