Nancy Robards - A Fortunate Arrangement

From “office wife” to love for life

Landing a job as Austin Fortune’s assistant was a dream come true for Felicity Schafer—until she made the mistake of falling for her boss! But the brooding executive was nursing wounds from a nasty divorce, so she kept her distance. Now, after five years, Felicity seems no closer to a promotion—or to getting Austin to open up. Will giving notice finally get Austin to take notice?

Now that she has much more content to report to her muse, Nancy loves writing women’s iction and romance full-time.
