A couple’s resort, a boss undercover, his assistant pretending to be his girlfriend all the perfect subterfuge to ascertain what a properties real issues are. What should have been a very profitable venue was losing money consistently.
Crystal tries to convince herself that the only reason she’s agreed to this ploy, is so she’ll have someone attractive and rich on her arm for her high school reunion. The problem is she’s always been attracted to him.
Lucas doesn’t want to get involved, his father nearly destroyed the business because he had a fling with his assistant. For Lucas to do the same would be insanity.
A messed up reservation, a cottage designed for romance and in spite of all their efforts to keep things on a professional level the sparks fly.
I love the details of the resort and location, I felt like I was there with them as they explore the resort and discover the issues not only with the property but the owner as well.
A fun, very steamy and romantic read.

A quick and steamy read between Lucas, a billionaire and his assistant, Crystal. Lucas makes a deal with Crystal to pose as his girlfriend while he checks out a couples only resort and Crystal agrees if he repays her the favor for her H.S. reunion. Little did he expect Crystal to be a knockout when she dresses for him and he gives in to temptation while away. But what happens when they return and get back to the real world.
A short and steamy read that had all the essentials for a great read. I liked that other women weren’t involved and that the story got right to the point with no over the top drama and miscommunication. I was missing a bit more background on Lucas, there was some given but I would have liked a paragraph or two more on the hot billionaire boss and him spilling some of his background to Crystal, like she did with him. Otherwise a great read to keep you warm during the winter months and a read that will leave a smile on your face.
