Publisher Description
When she lands her dream job, Maya Scott thinks her luck may finally be about to change. Eager to prove herself a successful adult and win back custody of her young daughter, Maya is determined to excel at the Mars Fund. Her new boss, New York's notorious ice queen, Elena Mars, could prove difficult to please. Their relationship gets off to a rocky start and Maya learns from her coworkers, some who love her while others loathe her, that Elena has Cerebral palsy.
Embarrassed by her assumptions, Maya avoids Elena until the appearance of her Elena's young daughter at the office opens a line of communication and provides some common ground. A tentative connection blossoms between them and Maya realizes there is much more to Elena than the outward appearance. Between the complexities of learning about disability and navigating the distance between them in age and wealth, they find that what matters in the end is the family we choose.

Beautiful story
Fantastic! It has everything. Age gap, romance, storyline is awesome, and the characters are amazing. The author has done a phenomenal job in research in writing about disabilities. Yes not all are the same but touched on a sensitive subject that most would skim over or mention in passing but Ms. Royal not only wrote about cf but brought forth that saying the word disability isn’t demeaning or looked at as a forbidden word. We are all unique and we all deserve to be loved. What a beautiful written book. Thank you.
