About the book
Whoever said that playing with toys all day was child's play had never worked for Stephen "the Iceman" St. Clair.
Kit knew he didn't approve of her as his toy company's new head of Testing and Research. So she was ready for a chilly reception after the unfortunate explosion in the lab. But she wasn't ready for the bizarre chain of mishaps that proved she was jinxed.
Just as she wasn't prepared for the storm of reaction that proved Stephen St. Clair was more like a volcano than in iceman when it came to dealing with her.
