"Incredible! Don't miss this one!"

Justine Jarreau has focused her entire adult life on her career, but tonight she's focusing on having a man. For one night only. She picks Len, an out-of-towner, and everything goes exactly how she wants it. All night long, no holds barred sex -- incredible sex for that matter. She's almost reluctant to leave his hotel room in the wee hours of the morning, but reminds herself that she needs to leave according to her plan. He gets her a cab, walks her to the lobby, and proceeds to hand her a letter from her estranged father, his stepfather. Dear old Dad had a heart attack, isn't doing well, and wants her to come home after fifteen years. Justine is devastated by this news, and furious with Len that he didn't speak up sooner. Now things aren't going according to plan. She has to see Len every day and try to fight the undeniable attraction sizzling between them. And Len wants "more than a night".

Incredible! The intensity of attraction between Justine and Len is exceptionally well written, and the emotions felt between her and her father are well depicted. She has reason to wonder if her father and Len are manipulating her, and reason to doubt the sincerity of both men. The flow of the story is continuous and remarkably complete for it's 93-page length. I especially loved the clever boardroom scene! Ms. Haynes has an outstanding tale here -- don't miss this one!

Summary

All Justine Jarreau wants in a one-night-stand is an uncomplicated, casual, mind-blowing sexual experience. And Len No-Last-Name seems like the perfect candidate to fulfill her fantasy. The sex *is* mind-blowing. But then Justine learns Len has an ulterior motive. Not only does he disclose that her father just had a heart attack, but that he is her new stepbrother and the CEO of Jarreau Wineries, the job Justine coveted until her father disowned her years ago. So much for uncomplicated and casual.

Len Falconer wants Justine to come home for good, for her father's sake, a man Len now considers part of his family. And family is the most important thing in the world to Len. But Justine isn't falling in with his plans. His only option is to seduce her into staying. He did it that first night, and he knows he can do it again. The pleasure will be all his.

But can a relationship begun with lies and manipulation last more than a night?
