Smart is the new sexy…


NSA code cracker Merri Simmons has a serious crush on sexy scientist Jimmy DeMarco, but her demanding job leaves little time for dating. And by dating, she means sex. There’s no time for sex. Her boss thinks she wound too tightly and forces her to take a long-overdue vacation. At loose ends, Merri drowns her sorrows in alcohol…and winds up on the doorstep of DeMarco Investigations. She never expected Jimmy to open the door. Or take her home. And she never expected to wake up in his bed...


Jimmy DeMarco is a brilliant inventor with a one-track mind—work. But he’s not blind to the charms of a certain brainy female. He’s not looking for long term and she’s only going to be around for a couple of weeks. Why not have fun while it lasts?


Neither are prepared for the passion that burns as hot as Jimmy’s latest invention or the intensity of their feelings. Can their desire survive the reality of their all-consuming careers? Or will these two workaholics find life beyond the lab?
