(BR with Patty)



Drew Jagger is a 29 yr. old successful attorney in New York. He lives and works in a building on Park Avenue that's considered prime real estate in NYC. He returns home from a vacation to find a beautiful feisty woman in his office. While he was out of town his office space was to be renovated. He comes back to this woman accusing him of being an intruder.

Emerie Rose freaks out when she thinks a man is breaking into her new office she just rented about a week ago. She proceeds to attack her intruder only to learn he actually is the true owner of her office. Turns out she was scammed out of her life savings & rented an office that wasn't available.



Suddenly she has little funds & nowhere to go. Drew offers to let Emerie help him out while his secretary is on leave in exchange for rent. They are like night & day and complete opposites. As a psychologist, Emerie was in the business of repairing relationships, while Drew helped to destroy them as a divorce attorney. They clash daily & seem to do nothing but argue which continues to fuel their intense sexual tension. They are extremely attracted to one another, & eventually sharing space together creates a connection. They begin spending more time together & it's easy and fun between them. Drew shamelessly flirts with Emerie & makes advances. She can't help the way her body reacts to him, and eventually they act on their mutual desire & indulge in one another physically.



-He really is beautiful. I wasn't sure I'd ever thought of a man as beautiful before. Handsome, yes. Hot, even. But beautiful fit the bill to describe Drew Jagger-no other word did him justice.

-Never in my life had I felt so much desire.

-Drew Jagger had stirred a lot of things inside of me that I hadn't felt in a long time.



Drew was burned bad by a woman in his past & as a result he's cynical about love & commitment. He only enjoys sexual relationships with women and doesn't get attached or do feelings, so when he starts having real feelings for Emerie it scares him to death. He has trouble with trust, but finds himself wanting more with Emerie.

Emerie knows Drew's reputation, and doesn't want to get too attached & then get hurt, but when she grows closer to him & gets to know him better she can't help herself. He has such a beautiful heart and she fall's hard for him.

I really enjoyed this book & love Vi's writing! She knows how to create the perfect, arrogant, sexy, breathtakingly gorgeous, irresistible man that I can't help fall for every time!
