San Francisco Serenade [Hardcover]

Kathleen Fuller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 30, 2005

Gazing at the beautifully dressed people swaying to the music, Jillian Sanders smiled in awe. Through the sea of graceful dancers she locked eyes with the most handsome man she'd ever seen. As if my magic, he crossed the floor and asked her to dance. Their true identities unknown, Jillian and her handsome man enjoy just one brief dance before Jillian was informed of her father's death. Abruptly, in a state of shock, she departs without ever finding out the name of her mystery man...

Six months later, Jillian and her brother Roland, the new head of Sanders Shipping after her father's death, move to San Francisco to open a U.S. branch of the company. Much to her surprise and dismay, Jillian is reacquainted with her anonymous dance partner. He turns out to be Ethan Vincent, part owner of Vincent & Son Shipping, Sanders Shipping's biggest U.S. competition.

Jillian takes on the responsibility of running the company while also trying to fight her burgeoning feelings for Ethan. He has the power to destroy her company while also gaining her heart.

This delightful tale brings to new life the idea of mixing business with pleasure - and the stake your heart can have in any transaction.

I've been married to James for 17 wonderful years (really, they have been wonderful!) We have three terrific children and four dogs. e have also raised cattle, pigs, and chickens at various times over the years. We would have gone into the goat business, but I had to draw the line somewhere. I started writing in 2000, and published my first short story a year later. Since then I have authored several short stories, novellas, novels, and have done a lot of freelance non-fiction work. I have also worked as an editor. I have a Masters degree in Special Education, emphasis on teaching the blind and visually impaired, and a Bachelors in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. I have taught all age groups ranging from age 4 to age 18. A few of my favorite things: my relationship with Christ, chocolate (of course!), autumn, a satisfying book, good friends, a sense of humor, people who don't take themselves seriously, haunting melodies, NFL football, and did I mention chocolate?
