Jill Came Tumbling

They say you should quit while you're ahead. I just quit because I'm in love ... with my boss.



My name is Jill, and I'm a professional restaurant server. I'm also the secret admirer of the head manager at The Clumsy Goat.



In my defense, Owen O'Dell wasn't in charge when I got hired. He just happened to be the sweetest, handsomest, funniest, most est son of the owner.



But after the job took its toll on his dad's heart-both literally and figuratively-Owen stepped up to the plate and took over. Now he won't risk putting a wife and kids through the stress his mom and brothers felt.



That's right. Owen just committed to bachelorhood now that I'm ready to confess my love.



I can't stick around Apple Valley pining for a man who's permanently off-limits, but Owen can't let his dad think he's failing because The Goat's best server up and quit.



(That's me. I'm the best server.)



Solution?



We pretend to be a couple so the no-dating policy is the reason I'm leaving.



Being Owen's fake girlfriend probably won't kill me.



Just don't tell that to my heart.
