The Indomitable Mr.Temple (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781738146314)

As the eldest of seven children, ever-responsible Leigh Bridger always does the Right Thing. She's spent a lifetime taking care of her family without giving her own wants any real consideration. Now in her forties, she's ready to enjoy the one thing she's pursued for herself - opening and successfully operating Peach's Books and Bakeshop, a small neighbourhood spot in Toronto's east end.

Quincy Temple knows what he wants. He's learned early on that closed mouths don't get fed, so he speaks his desires out loud at every opportunity, manifesting his goals to great success. Working in Sales keeps him on the move. Every deal has the potential to open even more doors, and he is ready to walk through them wherever they may lead.

When Quincy stumbles in to Leigh's store she immediately clocks him as a charismatic, slick talker who lives life in the fast lane. Add in the fact he is twelve years her junior and Leigh cannot conceive a world where their pairing makes sense, no matter how attracted to him she is. But Quincy's instincts say they could be something good which forces Leigh to decide if doing what she thinks is right matters more than getting what she truly wants.
