Along Comes Jessie (ePub)

Jessie Hagan. Her real given name is Jessica but friends and family just call her Jessie. She's 27 years old, Irish, 5'4", 118lbs, natural blonde, blue eyes and is beautiful. She is head turning, traffic stopping, knock your socks off beautiful and she still doesn't fully realize it. Her mother passed away 5 years ago after a long bout with breast cancer and Jessie thinks about her and misses her every day. Her father has remarried and she hasn't quite taken to her stepmom yet. Jessie is a college grad with a major in literature and a minor in accounting. She's real intelligent, funny and a little bit of a neat freak. She's working on a book about a group of teenage girls' adventures and misadventures in high school. Jessie and Jim have been living together for a little over a year and engaged for 3 months with no definite marriage date yet. Jim keeps dodging that issue. He works as a union representative and, well, more about Jim later.
