Billionaire investor Lucas Grande needs to know if a resort property in Brazil is worth his time and money. The catch? It’s a couples’ only retreat, which means he needs a female companion to fly under the radar. The solution: to summon his snarky and ultra efficient assistant to pretend to be his girlfriend for a weekend.

Crystal Fox has always walked the line, refusing to give in to crazy temptations like her unreliable mother. When Lucas proposes she act as his girlfriend, she agrees. In exchange she asks him to be her fake boyfriend during her upcoming high school reunion. She’s sure she’ll be able to keep things professional while vacationing in paradise, but she doesn’t count on her suppressed urges and cravings rising to the surface once she’s sharing a room with her hot boss.

A couple’s resort, a boss undercover, his assistant pretending to be his girlfriend all the perfect subterfuge to ascertain what a properties real issues are. What should have been a very profitable venue was losing money consistently.

Crystal tries to convince herself that the only reason she’s agreed to this ploy, is so she’ll have someone attractive and rich on her arm for her high school reunion. The problem is she’s always been attracted to him.

Lucas doesn’t want to get involved, his father nearly destroyed the business because he had a fling with his assistant. For Lucas to do the same would be insanity.

A messed up reservation, a cottage designed for romance and in spite of all their efforts to keep things on a professional level the sparks fly.

I love the details of the resort and location, I felt like I was there with them as they explore the resort and discover the issues not only with the property but the owner as well.

A fun, very steamy and romantic read.
