As head of the display department at Dixon’s Department Store, Margo Conroy comes in contact with all of the employees. Recent policy changes put in place by Dixon’s new General Manager, David Martin, have everyone disgruntled. The employees feel that a union is the best way to protect themselves, and Margo agrees to be the union organizer.

Margo has always been adept at handing difficult situations, but when David begins a romantic quest to capture her heart, Margo’s steadfast reason becomes clouded by desire and emotion.

David seems to be everything Margo ever dreamed of-attractive, intelligent, charming, and considerate. Soon Margo is torn between her feelings for David and the needs of her friends and co-workers. Margo must decide whether David’s feelings for her are sincere or simply part of a plan designed to win her over to management’s side of the labor dispute. Can she trust what her heart is saying over the loud warnings in her mind?
