Book 1 of 2. Watch for the sequel, Beyond 4/20. After losing her funding, Chelsea must find a way to pay for her final year of school. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so she enters into a platonic dating contract with much older man, John Keller. Uninterested in a committed relationship, and believing he has found the perfect protΓ©gΓ© to help groom for the business world, John finds their arrangement ideal. As the contract stipulates, they begin and end on 4/19βno exceptions. After a year together, though, and as deepening feelings complicate what is supposed to be a business relationship, will walking away really be as easy for Chelsea as signing her name to a contract?

I loved this book. It was the first book of Lisa's I have read. I was intrigued from the very beginning of the story. I loved the plot and the relationship that developed between John and Chelsea. It was wonderful to read about a love like that. Lisa Heaton has a wonderful gift in weaving one's own journey of faith into each novel she writes. I am a much better person and Christian for having read her books. I have read all the books Lisa has written so far. I have stayed up all night reading he
This was a sweet fairytale story. I just love those. It was about a very wealthy, handsome widower who hired a young college girl to accompany him to social events. She had only a one year contract and it expired on 4/19. All I know is that I totally fell in love with the hero, John. He was a very successful businessman who totally fought against his attraction to Chelsea. Did she win his heart? You'll have to read it to see. I totally recommend this book and I know you will fall in love with Jo
