Even a heaven-sent love can be hot as hell... Sweet Fortune Everyone thought Jessie Benedict's impending marriage to Sam Hatchard was a great arrangement -- everyone, that is, but Jessie herself. Was she the only one who could see that Hatchard, her powerful father's protégé, had a scheming ulterior motive in marrying her? He was more than just a chip off the old workaholic's block -- he was positively lusting after Jessie's inheritance to build his own business empire! Free-spirited Jessie has plans for her own career as a detective -- starting with the rescue of a teenage girl from a dangerous cult. But when a break-in and an intimidating act of vandalism strike close to home, her investigation pairs her with the compellingly masculine entrepreneur. Hatch does make her heart beat deliciously fast, but she's not taking orders from any man. Imagine her surprise when he turns out to be not only a friend and ally, but a strong, tender lover who, in the end, knows how to seal a deal -- with her resounding "I do!"

Jessie Benedict was the caregiver for her family, the person who made sure that the patriarch, her father, Vincent, did what was needed of him. Everyone used her for this. She also had a serious problem with holding down a job. Her latest job has her working for a psychic, when the psychic falls ...
Not one of my favorites. I found the heroine too much of a push-over for me.
