The Rocky Road to Romance

This humorous contemporary romance is a revised release of a 1991 novel written prior to the author's bestselling Stephanie Plum mystery series. Daisy is juggling several jobs plus graduate school in the hope that she can feed herself and her little brother, pay the rent, keep gas in the car, and finish her dissertation. One of her jobs is a five-minute dog-care spot on the local radio station. When the station's traffic reporter is injured, she leaps at the opportunity to fill in for him as well, eager for the additional cash. Steve, the station owner, only accepts Daisy for the position because he's already in love with her and hopes the new job will bring her closer to him. But when will the ever-busy Daisy find the time for romance?
