Romance Contemporary

Paige Langford has just been fired from her first job in Philadelphia after being sabotaged by her co-worker, which she believed was her boyfriend. Paige's only goal in life has been to finish college with a degree in administration so her father will feel she is qualified to take over the family business, Langford Plumbing. Ashamed at failing she decides to keep it to herself and visit her brother Noah who is starting a new company, Langford & Lovejoy Heritage Furniture. Being a vet Noah has a policy of hiring only Vets. Coming home himself from Iraq with PTSD, he plans on building his business while helping his comrades overcome the same obstacles.

Paige arrives in Perfect, Indiana in the middle of the night to walk in on a very naked male now occupying the carriage house behind Noah's house. The hairy and bearded Ryan Malloy is another product of PTSD, previously under the orders of his then Lieutenant, Noah. Accepting Noah's job offer in the design department has most likely saved Ryan's life. Contemplating suicide over guilt at the loss of comrades and death of the love of his life, his whiskey and .357 have become a priority to keep his horrific nightmares under control. Paige is hired temporarily by Noah and is extremely happy with what she is doing. Noah and Paige are both blindsided by the hot and sensual attraction for each other. A hot affair is pursued between them until all of their secrets are revealed. Finally being offered that "perfect" job, Paige now has to re=evaluate what her heart is telling her and Ryan has to forgive himself for the past to live again and fight for what he wants.

THE DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES is filled with self-forgiveness and the ability to follow your heart for what feels right. This very emotional tale reveals the inner workings of the mind of someone who has truly been through the horrible sights of war and other tragedy that no one should have to endure. The restoration and redemption of Noah's soul and mind was extremely passionate and heart- warming. Barbara Longley has portrayed the misery and fight that must be endured to again join the human race. You will remember THE DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES long after the last page is turned.

SUMMARY

In the picturesque tiny town of Perfect, Indiana, a down-but-not-out career gal clashes with a soldier hiding a painful secret…

Paige Langford has it all: wealth, beauty, and ambition. Yet when her boyfriend’s betrayal costs her both her dream job and her reputation, she retreats to her brother’s rural home in Indiana to heal and figure out the rest of her life. There she meets Ryan Malloy, a gruff, hard-drinking cowboy whose surly temper can’t hide the pain in his eyes.

Ryan Malloy has lost it all. He is a man on the edge, haunted by war and a lost love, who finds solace in a bottle—until a job offer from his former commander provides a glimmer of hope, and a second chance for the future.

Paige has always avoided brooding bad boys like Ryan, yet he might be exactly what she needs, while Ryan, the man who thought he had nothing left to live for, is tempted to risk his battered heart one last time...
