A snappy, battle-of-the-sexes romance where business and pleasure collide in a fiery test of wills.
What it feels like
Reading this romance feels like stepping into a delightfully sharp battle of the sexes where the boardroom is just as charged as the bedroom. The pacing is brisk and dialogue-heavy, propelled by the crackling tension between a fiercely independent heroine who refuses to settle and a stubborn hero who realizes his mistake a little too late. It carries a breezy, sparky mood, balancing lighthearted banter with genuine emotional stakes surrounding trust and vulnerability. The prose is snappy and straightforward, focusing heavily on the characters' dynamic and their shifting power balance. It is a perfect comfort read for anyone who delights in watching a competent, unapologetic woman force a commitment-phobic man to step up, risk it all, and earn his second chance.

About the book
He could forget the dividends!
Juliana Grant naturally assumed that once she'd been intimate with her man she was free to pop the question. But when Travis Sawyer turned her down flat, Juliana pulled the sheets out from under him. From now on all he was going to handle were her finances.
Yet even their business relations were in a tangle. Juliana had sunk a lot of cash into a losing proposition. Only if Travis risked his own capital could he save her...but he was beginning to realize she was worth any investment. Why hadn't he married the woman when he'd had the chance?
