Publisher Description
A Jayne Ann Krentz Classic. Now in eBook.
Sam Hatchard has his eye on building a business empire and Benedict Fasteners is going to be the cornerstone. But after talking his way into the CEO job, he realizes there is one small problem with his plan--old man Benedict wants to keep the business in the family and Hatch isn't family. But problems like this don't have to stand in the way of a good plan. With Benedict's blessing, Hatch is going to marry his way into the family.
Jessie Benedict knew the engagement was a bad idea. Hatch is brilliant when it comes to business but he doesn't want her, he wants her inheritance. She just needs a way to break the engagement without breaking her father's heart. Plus, after years of job-hopping, she has finally discovered her calling--at a psychic detective agency! When a case forces her to work with Hatch, Jessie soon discovers that his passion extends beyond the boardroom. Things are about to get complicated.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The mystery surrounding an unsavory cult leader enlivens Krentz's ( Silver Linings ) latest contemporary romance. When psychic Irene Valentine is temporarily put out of commission by a fall down some stairs, her employee Jessie Benedict gleefully takes over the helm at Seattle's Valentine Consultations. After all, her new position means that Jessie will be too busy to spend time with Sam Hatchard, CEO of her father's company and Vincent Benedict's first choice for son-in-law. Fighting an attraction to ``Hatch,'' Jessie emphatically refuses to marry an even worse workaholic than her father. But Hatch sticks with her, especially when she takes on a potentially dangerous case: Martha Attwood hires Jessie to discredit the leader of a radical environmentalist cult that lured her daughter away from college. Jessie knows she's onto something after a break-in at Valentine Consultations and an attempt to vandalize Hatch's prized Mercedes. As the investigation heats up, Jessie becomes less certain that Hatch is the humorless, one-dimensional businessman she so loves to hate.
