Dr. Eric Bradley left small-town Clover Creek, Tennessee, to follow his dreams. But when his father is hospitalized after a stroke, Eric must fill in as the town doctor. He's more at home in a medical research lab, though, with test tubes and microscopes, not listening to patients brag about their grandkids or ask him where he's been for the last ten years. Without Holly Ransom, the receptionist, to keep things running smoothly, he wouldn't survive. And seeing her every day is an unexpected upside.

Self-sacrificing Stella Daniels put her competitive finance career on ice, passing up promotions to help her elderly grandfather manage his struggling funeral home. Now with the mortuary in danger of closing, Stella must hustle for a promotion at the firm she’s been neglecting. But when she snaps at a rude—and dangerously handsome—customer at the funeral home, who happens to be a transferring employee competing for the same promotion, Stella’s professional and personal worlds collide.

Last night at 2am, my landlord locked me out of my apartment. He changed the locks while I was at work, and I had nowhere to go. I waited until the building I work at emptied out and snuck back in. I've been working for a billionaire publishing CEO, and I've spent two years burying every feeling I have for him. I cried until I fell asleep on his leather couch, sure no one would ever know. I woke up being carried down a hallway in his arms, my face still swollen from crying. My boss's eyes swept over the wrinkled work dress, the smeared mascara, and the notice from my landlord still crushed ...

You know exactly what you meant to say. What came out was something else. Maybe your sentences trail off right before the important word. Maybe you talk fast under pressure and lose your own point somewhere in the middle of it. Maybe you've been told your whole life to "just be more confident," and it never fixed a single thing, because confidence was never the actual problem. The problem was mechanical, and nobody ever showed you the mechanism. THIS IS NOT ANOTHER CONFIDENCE BOOK. Most communication books sell a feeling.

My father died owing money to men who don't forgive debts. He left me a shuttered perfume shop, a key I never stopped carrying, and a number at the bottom of a page worth more than our name ever was. Ansaldo Rapallo didn't want the money. He wanted my nose. He gave me a laboratory, a wage, and one rule. Make what I'm asked for. Never ask what it's for. I broke that rule in eleven weeks.
