Blaire Gibson is a work-a-holic lawyer only on a short mandated vacation to Georgia. Holt Mason works equally as hard for his own family business. One look at Blaire has him in hot pursuit and he even gets a second chance to close the win...and that he does. One hot night was all it was supposed to be. 

Their lives revolve around work. Dating and a social life are not a priority. She is intelligent, strong-willed, and likes to be in control. He is alpha, confident, and thrives on being in charge. They challenge each other mentally and fight to share power. It's hard to resist his intensity and dirty talk. What could one night hurt?

But when circumstances change, things get a bit more complicated. When Holt is trying to close the biggest deal of his career, he finds himself unfocused and a bit obsessed with one unique woman destined to leave. 

This is a story about trust, vulnerability, control, letting go, and priorities. These two detached people unexpectedly find themselves attaching and that is frightening for someone who likes control and order. Their pasts have marked them and caused fears and insecurities in personal relationships. They have been laser-focused on their careers and they do not like to fail. But this whole situation has surprised them. 

After work obligations, do they have enough left to give to someone else? And even if they think they do, the fact they live a thousand miles apart and have established lives might be a deal-breaker. 

I will be honest. I have not read the Gibson Boys books or the Lawry Family books, but this worked fine as a complete stand-alone and start of a new series. But fans of those series will surely enjoy the cameos. It makes me interested in going back and reading their stories.
