FLIRTING WITH PETE by Barbara Delinsky

This book bogged me down, it was slow reading.  But, I got almost through it.
You have a couple stories that mix together to form this story.
Casey Ellis was raised by her mother, she was the product of a 1 night affair.  Her father is a famous Psychologist, author and teacher.  The other story is in the form of a manuscript that Casey finds after she inherits her fathers town home.  Along with the townhome-for which there is no mortgage and the up keep has been taken care of, she is to keep on the gardener and housekeeper.   There are plenty of twists and turns.
