Like a classic Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn/Doris Day-Rock Hudson movie--but with plenty of steamy heat--Lucy Monroe's debut novel introduces a pair of delightfully sparring opposites whose undeniable attraction is about to take them beyond the edge of reason. . .and right into the throes of delicious passion. . .
The most important thing in Amanda's life is negotiating a successful merger between her company and Brant Computers, a family-held competitor. Company president Eric Brant is on board with the idea, but when Amanda arrives in Eric's office, it is his cousin Simon Brant who greets her--and Simon is anything but agreeable. Squaring off against the sexy, brilliant, sexy, obstinate, sexy, eccentric, not to mention sexy Simon is completely frustrating--and a total turn-on. . .
Simon has never met a woman as driven as Amanda, or as devastatingly attractive. He can't decide if he wants to put her on the next plane home--in the cargo hold--or kidnap her and spend a long weekend showing her the kind of negotiating he likes best. But when intimacy leads to an explosive passion, it might be time to think of a different, more permanent kind of merger. . .one that's less about business and all about pleasure. . .
