"Hot romance"

The execs at public relations firm Michaels and Associates have written off the steel mill account for two reasons. The former steel mill CEO, who signed the contract with them, fled the country after embezzling funds. His replacement as CEO of the steel firm, his son Drew Robson fails to see how Michaels and Associates can help save the company from bankruptcy.

Jade Morrow wants a promotion at the PR company, but feels she needs an opportunity to prove her worth via salvaging a written off client. She persuades Drew, with a bit of blackmail, to honor his beach relaxing father's contract. Drew and Jade begin a three-week road show to save his company, but neither one expected the other to steal their respective heart.

Why Jade felt she could obtain her promotion by gaining more business from a nearly failed company with a small account and hostile boss seems off for this intelligent person. Still, fans will enjoy the battle inside the bedroom, the boardroom, and the steel room between the lead couple. The story line is fun to follow due especially to the bitter Drew, feeling like a betrayed mugging victim, now reeling as his heat is under assault. Jade is a strong woman who knows what she wants and goes out to get it. Together they provide readers with a good time.
