"Sometimes one night is not enough"

All Justine Jarreau wants is one night of hot sex, then she can go back to the demands of her career. For the last fifteen years her whole attention was on the slow climb up the business ladder. Sitting in a trendy but casual restaurant, she is checking out the prospects when someone sends her a glass of wine. In no time she has found the perfect candidate. After only getting each others first names, Len seems to be her perfect man to fulfill her fantasy. The sex is everything she every hope for. It is one mind blowing session after another. The next morning as Justine goes to leave Len hands her a note. It's from her father.

Len Falconer has come to bring Justine back to the family home. Her father's recent heart attack had made him realize that he needs his daughter back. When Len's mom married Justine's father, he had heard the story of how Justine had shown no loyalty to the family and that money seemed to be her only concern. She just walked out on the family business fifteen years ago. So why, after spending the night with her, did the picture not fit the image he had developed of Justine.

Len wants Justine to come back to the winery for her father's sake. But it doesn't take long for Len to realize things are not what they seem. To get her to stay he decides to seduce her. He was going to keep her one way or another. He did it the first night; he can do it again.

Can a relationship begun with lies last? Can Justine forgive her father for the past? How will Justine handle having a new stepmom she had never heard of?

MORE THAN A NIGHT is a sizzling read. It's a fight for control from the very beginning. Len thinks he knows best because he is an alpha male. Justine believes after 15 years of struggle no one is going to control her life now. This is a quick read that is both sexy and satisfying.

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?
