Luring a lady: Nothing in Sydney Hayward's background of wealth and privilege prepared her to take the helm of her family's corporation, and her new responsibilities left no room for complications. Mikhail Stanislaski was definitely a complication. Earthy and entirely masculine, Mikhail came from a world utterly different from her own. But the way she felt when he put his strong,work-hardened hands on her was wreaking havoc with Sydney's resolve. -- Falling for Rachel: Lawyer Rachel Stanislaski is assigned to watch over teenage delinquent Nicholas LeBeck, and the last thing she needs is Nick's hotheaded stepbrother storming into her courtroom. Zack Muldoon is protective and stubborn, but whether he likes it or not, he needs Rachel's help--both to keep Nick out of trouble and to reconnect with him. Rachel knows the importance of a family bond, but she hasn't considered what excitement--or complications--a blossoming romance could add to their agreement. Zack and Rachel's chemistry is hard to ignore, and the two could be falling for each other faster than they realize.
