Corporate attorney Jarred Manning rarely has a problem getting what he wants--or avoiding the commitments he doesn't. Now his father's corporation has acquired a company with serious tech issues, and only the former owner's daughter has the inside knowledge to fix them. Lounge owner and singer Nevealise Tempest has a golden voice and a brilliant mind. And she's rejecting all of his proposals, for both business and pleasure...
Growing up with a sexist father, Nevealise is determined to live her life on her own terms. She won't let herself be used to save a business that should have been left to her, and especially not for some wealthy playboy. Yet her body has its own agenda whenever Jarred is near. If she does surrender to passion, can she trust that the renowned ladies' man will stick around for all of the right reasons?

I really enjoyed reading this novel. To finally have the man you had a crush on when you were young is great. And for him to love you back is awesome. Serenity has written another awesome book.
This was a great start to a new series! The Manning and Tempest families have been associated for years and when the Manning's purchase the Tempest's company their connection grows. This was a fantastic romance between brilliant, but naive Nevea and worldy Jarred. I particularly enjoyed the vagueness of the epilogue that set us up for future series installments.
