Bex Kingsley doesn’t do love, but sex is her specialty. As X Enterprises’ top adult product designer, she’s made a career out of turning disastrous bedroom sessions into bestselling toys. When her latest hookup, Gabriel Marks, is both great in bed and charming out of it, she writes him off as a nice guy but useless to her. After all, Bex is out to win the latest design competition at work, and she needs fresh ideas, not an encore performance—no matter how mind-blowing it might be.

But a one-night stand isn’t going to be good enough for Gabe. A hopeless romantic, emphasis on the hopeless, Gabe won’t let Bex deny the chemistry between them. To him, Bex is more than a fling—she’s quickly becoming his inspiration, both in his photography career and in his life. When Gabe offers to help Bex win the design competition, he’s determined to convince her that there’s more than just sex between them. Because he may crave her between the sheets, but Gabe is also after her heart.

Jeremy Glass, CEO of Seattle’s hottest sex toy company, has a fantastic life: he’s single, rich, and has a parade of “product testers” to help him warm his sheets at night. He’s about to land the deal of a lifetime and finally prove that his untraditional business is more than valid. The only problem is he just fired the one woman his client insists handle their account. He knows if he hires her back, Vanessa Reese will be a distraction—after all, she’s gorgeous, sweet, and witty. Jeremy knows better than to mix business and pleasure, but he suddenly finds himself chasing after a woman for a change, and this one’s determined to keep him on his toes.

When Jeremy asks Vanessa to come back to X Enterprises, she isn’t interested in what he has to offer—not his pretty face and sculpted body, and certainly not his arrogant attitude—until Jeremy makes her a deal: spend ten weeks in his employment, and then he’ll help her land the social work job she really wants. When Vanessa agrees, she finds herself plunged into a world of sin and indulgence she never imagined. Despite the attraction between herself and Jeremy, Vanessa is determined not to give in and hand over her dignity and her chance at a steady paycheck. Probably. Because the more time she spends with Jeremy, the more she uncovers the kind, charming man hidden under his cocky exterior. 

Can a sex toy CEO and a bleeding heart ever find love, or will their connection destroy everything they’ve worked for?
