Description:
Sonya Pride has spent years planning this moment, and she knows she shouldn't waste it. As a hired consultant, she walks into Coleman Heart's office with information that could fatally undermine his floundering department store chain. After suffering countless humiliations at the hands of the Heart family, Sonya knows they deserve no mercy. Yet when she looks deep into Cole's eyes, she doesn't see a ruthless businessman, but instead a considerate leader with a generous heart. Cole has been cultivating his intimidating style for years, so when Sonya refuses to cater to his whims, his interest in her grows beyond business. When Sonya convinces him that his business needs critical restructuring, he finds this a convenient opportunity to continue working with her. As their work progresses, Cole and Sonya discover a fiery passion that consumes all their hesitations. Unable to trust Cole, Sonya is torn between revenge and desire. When his company comes under threat, Cole needs Sonya to help him, but will Sonya be his ally or his enemy? Not since the television show Dallas have the betrayals and double-crossing of a family business been so completely entertaining. Award-winning writer Felicia Mason spins a tale that deftly deals with the full range of human emotions, from the dark instinct of revenge to the heady inspiration of love. Readers will enjoy the wit and dialogue of these characters, as well as the well-constructed plot with its fair share of surprises. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
