Overview

"Lady, I want you to stop seducing my son! Hell, what are you, thirty-two, thirty-four, Rob is seventeen..there's room for a whole other person! If you don't stop I'll have you arrested for moral turpitude!"

Thus in one of Nashville's poshest restaurants began a stream of threats against Stephanie Brandt along with a heavy hand 'mangling' her shoulder, followed by a bill shoved into the middle of her quiche by a big man wearing work boots, denim and a T-shirt with an obscene foreign word printed on it.

Until Quintin Ward stormed into her life with his threats and accusations, Stevie had not known his son Rob even existed, let alone was her mail room clerk.

She definitely was not interested in a seventeen year old kid, but as Quintin stalked out of the restaurant she remembered thinking: "Now there's a man whose ass could sell a million pairs of jeans!"

When she's finally able to convince Quintin that she has no designs on his son, they embark on a campaign to squelch Rob's amorous ideas and fantasy love-life with his boss.

But their very calculated risk backfires! And Stevie and Quintin begin a steamy, sensual love affair of their own - one that Rob can never know about.

Updated with extra scenes and dialogue from previously printed Silhouette Desire #104

Meet the Author

If you like sassy, laugh out loud, contemporary romances - some more explicit than others - you have found the right author!

Reviewers have called them: "cat & mouse" - "slow burn" - "hot and steamy" - "highly addicting" - "solid characters & lots of humor" - "amazing reads!"

I call them fun! My heroines are NOT: thin, petite, clueless or submissive. They are strong women who aren't looking for a man - until the right one comes along!

And those men! Tough-guy, alpha males who don't know what hit them! But do know they want MORE!

I also write erotic mystery/thriller's and the Agatha Christie nominated non-fiction "How to write the Amateur Detective Novel" which is in the FBI Forensic Library at Quantico.

    Good story

    Skipped though the sex scenes to descriptive for my taste. With that exception it was a good story. I realize that appeals to many but sex should be love making and that should be private.

    Excellent

    This book had a very interesting start in the way the characters initially met but I think it just proves that you can't help who you fall in love with. It was a good read and I definitely recommend it!

    Wow..these characters and the story are fabulous!

    Welcome to the world of puppy love by a teenager with a giant crush on his female boss. It's hysterical the antics that poor Stevie goes thru to make seventeen year old Rob see that she doesn't fit in with the high school girls. Meanwhile, sexual tension between Stevie and Rob's dad, Quintin hit like an earthquake. Sexy, fast-paced dialogue, superior to most romances...enjoy!

    Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE anything that deals wi

    Let me preface this by saying that I LOVE anything that deals with music. This is the first book that I have read that deals with the producing/management side of it. This book was HOT! I absolutely loved the plot of it being tied up between a 17 year old boy and his father. I loved the fear, the sadness, the love, the compassion that this book showed. Elaine Raco Chase is such an amazing author and comes up with the best stories ever! I love how this book has the steamy scenes in it that do not go too far over the top. Such an amazing read!!

    Funny and sweet

    Sweet and romantic story. Some of the language was a bit awkward and the author tended to over describe the setting/background at times. Overall, better than I expected for a free ebook.
