Millie
Stephens is the personal assistant to an author of romance novels in
New York. Millie is a mouse of a woman, dressing down in all brown,
brown hair, glasses and timidly shy.
Millie
loves her job, but little does she know that her life is about to
change.
One
day while running an errand for her boss, Darcy Butler-Ryan, Millie
wasn’t watching and someone pulled her back at a crosswalk just
before being struck down by a large truck.
The
benefactor she didn’t see held her in the air and tight against his
chest. Millie was in for a surprise.
When
Millie saw who helped her, thug was the first word to pop into her
head.
Shaken,
she finished her errand and then back to Darcy’s brownstone and
back to work.
While
at work, Millie thinks about her close call. From reading and hearsay
she thought about how people in her situation have their life run
before their eyes. Hers reel is blank, her life is nothing, she is
nothing.
Then
one day while Millie is out, her thug comes to Darcy about converting
a room into a nursery for her impending delivery.
Millie
returns to the brownstone while Darcy is out. Hearing noises from
upstairs, Millie goes to investigate. There in a room is her thug. A
contractor working on the room. Millie turns to leave but her notices
her and speaks. Millie is tongue tied and nervous.
She
hurries out and tries to settle down.
Over
time, through a comedy of errors, Millie begins thinking about her
life and the dream she wants to explore but doesn't have the courage,
plus feelings of conflict while working for Darcy.
Dreams
of Her Own
isn’t your normal romance novel. In some ways it is a coming out
celebration of the new Millie, with help from Darcy, her sister and
others along with romance.
Dreams
of Her Own,
s not like other romance novels you’ve read. Dreams
of Her Own,
will give you a laugh and situations readers will relate to even they
haven’t experienced them.

of Her Own.
