Sweet, seductive...and off-limits! One rule has always worked for Elias Joss: keep your rivals close...but not too close. He didn't bring his family's construction company to new heights and incredible success by being naive. The only way he survived his playboy father's indiscretions was by learning to be careful and guarded. With his life all about work, there's just no room for play--especially when it comes to a certain too-tempting siren. Nightclub owner Clarissa David is downright shocked to be attracted to Elias. Especially since their families share a scandalous past. Still, desire this strong can't be denied. Can Clarissa show him that the ruthless rules of business should never apply to love?
