About the book
An imposter in their midst?
Reece Harland didn't behave like a typical tourist on a Las Vegas bus tour. That's why Lisa, the group's guide, wasn't too surprised to learn he was there on behalf of the company's new management. He'd obviously been sent to check up on things.
She was surprised, however, by Reece's attitude, especially after he confessed he'd never met a woman capable of measuring up to his requirements.
It was a challenge Lisa simply couldn't ignore. But did she want Reece to see her as a model employee or a desirable woman...?
