Heart of gold

by Sondra Stanford

All Work and No Play... Melanie Jones didn't have time for fun. She was devoted to managing Ettinger's department-store chain -- and to helping any charity she could find. She'd never kicked up her heels and had a good time until Franklin Harrison Ettinger, the Third, returned from Europe to claim his fortune -- and her job! Worried about the corrupting influence of his wealth, Harry had turned his back on his glittering future.

She had a heart of gold, and Harry wanted to earn a special place in it. Could he show Melly that woman does not live by career alone?
