Principal of Love / Falling for Her

Description

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. But Josh's latest project is about to change his life. Constructing a computer lab for his town requires easygoing Josh to cooperate with Vanessa Irish, the intense and uber-businesslike CFO of the company sponsoring the lab. Hiding behind dowdy suits and detailed spreadsheets, Vanessa intends to complete the project and retreat to her familiar isolation. But the pleasures of small-town life -- and Josh's attention -- are undeniably appealing to a woman who long ago retreated from people. As Josh chips at the veneer protecting Vanessa's passionate heart, he can't help falling for the hot-blooded woman locked in her solitary shell. That celibacy streak just might be in danger after all . . . Seasons in a Small Town series What Are Friends For?
