“Thanks for that image.”
“It’s an apt comparison.”
“I’ll be sure to pull it out for Monday when I get back here, then.”
“Great. Did you find anything good today?”
“Yeah. The whole trailer is full.”
“I can’t wait to go through it when it gets here.” Wynn was practically

beautiful, temping, probably intelligent, probably nice too, attractive,
tempting, woman was going to be working with her all day, every day.
She barely managed not to let out a groan of despair. The store was

Romi
After a sleepless night spent worrying about the beautiful, athletic,
intimidating, pissed off woman who was her new boss, Romi decided to

were able to get back up to one of the top floors to work on a display of
antique and vintage ornaments and household accessories.
Romi picked up a particularly grouchy, warty-looking ceramic toad and

were. Not ugly. No, that wasn’t the right word. More like…extremely
unique. She loved that about antiques. The fact that so many of them were
one of a kind.
