Greater Expectations, Book Three, Pandora's Story Jacqueline Gillam Fairchild Shy and down to earth Pandora hasn't had much luck in the files of Greater Expectations. Besides she would rather be home baking the perfect cookie than dressed up and eating some ho hum dinner with some ho hum dating agency member. Still, she is lonely and maybe just a tad lonelier now that Trish and Maggie have found their soul mates. And she knows Mr. Even Average will never walk into the sub basement of Caterpillar International to the kitchens where, engulfed in her uniform she bakes. No, if he wandered in, he would never notice her. Yet her spare time is spent baking, not hunting ... As Pandora drives to the library Christmas party, her car loaded with delicate cookies, she jams on the breaks, all thoughts of her delicate creations breaking fly from her head. There on the ice is Santa Claus! Did she hit him or simply stop in time from running him over ... and killing him further? Santa Claus/Dink is in traction in the hospital and has asked his pal Jingles to take over his roadside diner and keep it running. Jingles assembles the A team, and they not only take over, but start streamlining the burger joint. And Pandora is asked to bake cookies. A far cry from her job in the kitchens of Caterpillar Internationals, Pan is in her glory. Boldly she bakes and shyly mingles with the diners. But when Dink finally returns he finds his dream cookies and the mystery woman who makes them, right there in his restaurant. And sparks fly. But what happens when Dink's Xwife and supposed daughter appear demanding money? Is Pandora's fantasy going to burn? And will she be forced to return to her job of drudgery? The quietest and most down to earth of the pals who all chipped in to join Greater Expectations, Pan has already seen her pal Corky find true love while two of her friends have found their soul mates. Can she possibly have it all? Dream job and the man of her dreams? And will she have to step up her timid personality to reach out and fight for what she wants? Cover art: Lucy Ray and Sean Flanagan
