All he has to do is get close to the sweet-faced secretary and seduce her into revealing her company's secrets--details Max desperately needs for a successful corporate takeover. Only Max doesn't count on falling for Claire's guileless beauty--or for his powerful desire to possess her completely. But just as his feelings for her deepen, his shattering deception is revealed. Only this time, he's the one with everything to lose--unless he can win Claire back into his life.
