The Deadline Office
In the perfect version of my life, I am a super-organized person with a place for everything and everything in its place. My house would be ready for a spread in House Beautiful at a moment's notice. Floors--freshly swept, polished or vacuumed. Books--not only alphabetized but separated into genres. Windows--sparkling. Garden--raked, weeded, planted and mulched. In reality, perfections happens for about fifteen minutes before and after company arrives.
And then there's deadline time. That's a whole other mess.

Not until you scratched the surface—or took a Black and Decker power sander and sanded the crap out of the surface—and discovered, hey, this guy has a vulnerable side that he hides at all costs and it pains him to show that side. This guy has humanity, despite his outward appearance. That was the point where the heroine and I (since we were the only people allowed to see this side of the hero) fell in love.
I loved these alphas—it was the 70’s and 80’s after all—
