Persuasion Skills: Boardroom Acts, Book 1 (Unabridged‪)‬

In the aftermath of a major health scare, Pepper Holts makes the relief-inspired decision to seize the day. Unfortunately, most of her "seizing" involves a bit of merlot and her best friend's pants! After a shared night of passion, she realizes that her feelings for Jax are a lot more complicated than she ever thought.

Jax has finally realized that his allergy to marriage has nothing to do with the institution itself, and everything to do with the women in his bed-or more specifically, the one woman not in his bed. Her reaction to their one night together has him scrambling to regroup. So he does what he knows best - he disappears, and he thinks. The plan is to convince Pepper to stay with him at a secluded cabin for one week. One week of pretending to be a happily married couple to show her how great they could be together.
