The first night was a dare. The second night was trouble…
Advertising guru Olivia Masterson is all work and no play. But on the eve of earning her dream promotion, her best friend dares her to drop her ice queen façade for one night and seduce a sexy stranger. Olivia's worked her ass off to get where she is-why the hell not?
Cole Bennett never thought he'd run into his feisty one-night stand at the office, furious that he stole her promotion. No matter how hard she tries to ice him out, they can't seem to keep their hands to themselves...or their clothes on.
Olivia's talented-maybe even more than Cole-so when his dropped hints to the boss net her a promotion of her own, he's ready to celebrate...until she accuses him of fueling office rumors that she slept her way to the top. She wants to earn her own way? Fine. So what the hell does a guy have to do to permanently melt an ice queen?
Excerpt
“Is there a problem?” With narrowed eyes, he watched her intently and waited for the answer. Even with that accusing stare and wrinkled brow, he was a handsome man, a fact Olivia silently cursed as she reminded herself this was strictly business and this man had stolen her partnership.
“A problem?” she countered, shifting her face into a mask of confusion. She could play the dumb blonde people expected her to be, just this once. It beat the hell out of telling him what she really thought, since the landlord wasn’t likely to accept a pink slip for next month’s rent.
“Let me put it another way.” He dragged his fingers through his tousled hair, looking frustrated himself. She was reminded of the gentleness of those hands and the pleasure they’d given her. The very thought sent her traitorous pulse soaring. Why couldn’t she just forget about that stupid dare? “I think you’re letting your personal feelings for me color your judgment here.”
“Excuse me?” Anger sparked low in her belly, threatening to explode in a slew of four letter words that would make her own father blush. “My personal feelings for you? Are you really that much of a self-involved asshat?”
