Agreeing that theyâll leave personal details at the door, they indulge in a memorable weekend of carnal recreation. On Sunday night, Cordy doesnât want to leave this charming, seductive man, but she must play by her own rules.
On Monday, Cordy sits in a meeting at the ad agency thatâs hired her as a freelancer, and her professional and personal worlds collide. Turns out agency owner Jack Cormier looks just as good in the boardroom as he did in the bedroom. Forced to work together, Cordy and Jack canât ignore the chemistry that crackles between them, or the deeper feelings that have developed. But secrets and scars from their pasts may prove too formidable, even for a love thatâs as powerful as it is unexpected.
