Anne Miller, a crime reporter for the Albany Daily Journal, sets high standards for the men in her life, and has no interest whatsoever in a relationship. Becoming bored with her career and feeling unrewarded for the excellent job she does, disorganized and messy Anne is about to get a change in her life.

When Michael Davoli meets Anne at the theater, his reaction doesn't mirror the immediate attraction he feels. He is a campaign coordinator for Quality Education Initiative and the love of his life, at this time, is his lovable Weimaraner, Sirus. However, neither Anne nor Michael expects to fall so hard so fast. Things change when Anne leaves for a long-planned trip abroad and Michael grows distant. Michael's secret threatens to destroy the one thing he longs for in life.

HARD TO HOLD is an entertaining and beautiful love story of two complete opposites destined to become one. Some things are meant to be in this life and for Michael and Anne, this is it. Anne's disruptive style of living and her fun-loving character is just what Michael needs! I enjoyed every page of this delightful love story.
