A wonderful story that I read in one sitting .....

Beauty and the Boss by Lucy Gordon Harlequin Romance # 3548 - April 1999 Delia Summers has used her physical beauty to her advantage all her life. She's Deputy Director of PR for Orchid Cosmetics and she wants the top job of Director. Distracted by thoughts of her backstabbing co-workers, she losses control of her car that jumps the curb and strikes Craig Locksley's seeing-guide dog, Jenny. Delia's filled with guilt and fails miserably to console Craig who uses his bitter tongue to cut her down. Jenny's injuries are severe, but she'll mend; it's her sudden fear of traffic that sends her back for retraining. Alison, Craig's ten-year-old daughter assumes the mother-hen role and refuses to leave her Dad to go to summer camp, as she's afraid her father will go into one of his dark moods. This makes Delia feel even more guilty, so she offers to fill in herself by moving in for a few weeks. Craig isn't thrilled with this but it's the only way his daughter will leave him. Craig has had to fight hard for his success in the business world, and he still has a tremendous chip on his shoulder, hating to accept help from anyone, esp. Delia. Each bitter retort from him only reinforces to Delia that she is a shell of a person with nothing else to offer except her beauty. And to a sightless Craig Locksley her beauty is useless. Another emotional story from Ms. Gordon. Though we aren't given Craig's point of view, Ms. Gordon through other characters lets us see the tortured man inside. Watching him conduct business, Delia discovers that Craig used his blindness to his advantage much as she uses her looks in her work. This allows her to look into herself and slowly she becomes aware that she is much more than her beauty. This is a wonderful story that I read in one sitting. Beauty and the Boss won the 1999 RT Reviewers' Choice Award ~ Harlequin Romance category
