Book Description

Avalon Career Romance June 2001
A few too many messy divorce cases and custody battles have convinced Tina Cannon to change her specialty from family law to financial planning and move her young daughter out of the city to a place that has the small town values Tina grew up with. So the offer from her Uncle Jack to join his planning practice in Genesee, her hometown, couldn't have come at a better time. Tina is in for a few surprises, though, not the least of which is her perplexingly uncooperative and devastatingly attractive first client Devon O'Neil.

Devon has ties to Genesee too. But they aren't as pleasant as Tina's. This is where his grandmother died nearly penniless, bilked out of her hard-earned nest egg by an unscrupulous financial planner--Uncle Jack. Devon, a private investigator, devises a plan to expose Jack by posing as a lottery winner looking for financial guidance. Tina, however, is upsetting his plan. She's Jack's niece and in business with him, so she must be a crook, too, right? So, why does he seem so intent on proving her innocent instead of guilty?

With Tina's widowed father playing matchmaker in the background, she faces off with Devon in the securities fraud investigation that raises more than a few sparks and teaches them both that while appearances can be deceiving, love shines true.

About the Author

Jean C. Gordon's writing is a natural extension of her love of reading. From that day in first grade when she realized t-h-e was the word "the," she's been reading everything she can put her hands on. A Certified Financial Planner, Jean is as at home writing tax-planning advice as she is writing novels, but finds novels a lot more fun. She and her husband live in a 170-year-old farmhouse south of Albany, NY, with their teenage son, daughter and son-in-law, two grandchildren, and a menagerie of pets. While Jean creates stories, her family grows organic fruits and vegetables.

Love Undercover is Jean's second novel for Avalon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Uncover, October 14, 2002
This review is from: Love Undercover - An Avalon Career Romance (Hardcover)
Jean C. Gordon has written an excellent book with Love Uncover. I loved the part about the surreptition wink with Devon and Jason when they were talking to Tina. The parts where Devon really wanted to get close to her and not just because of the case. When he met little Amy and they both clicked when he carried her back pack. Children know when to trust and like adults. And when Tina's father was missing and Tina was casting stones into the water when Devon approached her to give her comfort. This was very touching. But the police thinking otherwise when the needles were found when her father was missing, not realizing about him being a possible diabetic. Isn't that just like people to jump to irrational decisions? Ms Gordon had me on the edge of my seat when the police showed up at the end to see Tina. This was a really good book and deserves a five stars!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Uncover, October 9, 2002
This review is from: Love Undercover - An Avalon Career Romance (Hardcover)
This is a positive great book that everyone should read. You will fall in love with Tina and her daughter, Amy. There is Kate who is fun. You can tell by the way of her speech that she is a fun person. The part with Amy's father and a girlfriend made you feel as if you were right there in the hospital room sharing a family gathering. And Devon, I fell in love with his charm, his warm sincere caring for this family. The way that Ms Gordon gave the characters in this book true emotion made you feel as if you were a part of the family. And Crystal and Uncle Jack...who knows? Honestly this was a good book that I could not put down. It deserves a five stars!!
