About the book
Powerful tycoon Clay Lincoln was the only man who could save Robyn's PR company. The deal was simple: he'd finance her, but remain a silent partner. Robyn wouldn't actually need to work with him....
Robyn was still embarrassed over a passionate kiss they'd once shared -- after which Clay had just walked away. Now he was clearly impressed by the striking, professional woman she'd become...and wanted to be her sleeping partner in more than just a business sense!
