My Ideal Partner…
I’m a very ordinary girl, looking for Mr Nice and Ordinary to date, with the possibility of for ever and a family one day, if it’s what we both want. You should be willing to respect my rights in a partnership of honesty, openness, affection and friendship that will create the strong foundation we need to be together and stay together. You should be gainfully employed, in a job that puts food on the table and pays the bills rather than being the core of your existence. Therefore Mr Tall, Dark and Driven need not apply!

Private IM chat between Kangagirl, Sanfrandani and Englishcrumpet:
Kangagirl:
So what do you think? I feel I’ve been honest in my profile. I did think about saying I was ‘young at heart’, but I didn’t want men to think I was frivolous. After all, twenty-nine is young, really. And it doesn’t read like I want babies, does it? Because I don’t. Though I wouldn’t rule out a man with babies on his mind. You know, for his sake.
Englishcrumpet:
I think it’s a good profile. It should net you plenty of invitations from nice, ordinary guys. If some of them have children, that’s fine. Children are nice. I rather like the one I have!
Sanfrandani:
And here’s hoping Mr Ordinary turns out to be exactly what you want.
Kangagirl:
Oh, believe me, he will be. There’s no way I’d get involved with a corporate high-flyer again. So long as I’ve ruled that out, I’m happy!
Sanfrandani:
So you’re determined to get your Happy Ever After?
Kangagirl:
Yes—and once I have, you two are next in line!
Australian author Jennie Adams grew up in a rambling farmhouse surrounded by books, and by people who loved reading them. She decided at a young age to be a writer, but it took many years and a lot of scenic detours before she sat down to pen her first romance novel. Jennie is married to her own real-life hero, and together they share a hers-and-theirs family of three adult children. Jennie has worked in a number of careers and voluntary positions, including transcription typist and pre-school assistant. Jennie makes her home in a small inland city in New South Wales. In her leisure time she loves long, rambling walks, starting knitting projects that she rarely finishes, chatting with friends, trips to the movies, and new dining experiences.
Jennie loves to hear from her readers, and can be contacted via her website at www.jennieadams.net

CHAPTER ONE
‘YOU want us to turn this smaller bridge into a clone of the historic Pyrmont Bridge. I’m sorry, but we can’t do that for you. The sites simply don’t compare.’ The boss of the Sydney-based Morgan Construction, Building and Architecture braced his feet on the uninspiring bridge in question, drew a deep breath and blew it out as he addressed the middle-aged man at his side.
Rick Morgan’s rich voice held an edge of command and control that shivered over Marissa Warren’s senses. The three of them stood atop the small Sydney bridge while the Morgan’s boss explained the company’s stance on the refurbishment plans. Rick could bring about virtually any architectural feat, be it in refurbishment or new construction. What he wasn’t prepared to do was break his own code of working standards.
A pity Marissa couldn’t push away her equally unfeasible reactions to the man. She hadn’t expected an attack of awareness of the company’s big boss. The girls in the office swooned about Rick, but Marissa was no longer interested in hot corporate types. Been there, so over that.
It must be the sway factor of the bridge getting to her. Or the sea wind pressing hard against her back trying to disrupt her balance. Those must be responsible for the odd feelings coursing through her.
