Lisa Daniel's long cherished dream of a husband and a family gets a rude awakening when her fiance breaks off their engagement. Strung at the cruel rejection and vowing never to let herself be so vulnerable again, she throws herself into her career as a computer consultant. Her newfound resolve is put to the test when she meets her new boss. A

powerfully seductive man who knows what he wants and usually gets it, Matthew James isn't easy to resist. But trusting him is even harder--especially when he starts pursuing Lisa with a commitment and a passion that makes her wonder what he's really after.

In a very short time, Lisa has helped Matthew forget the unhappy past that has driven him to succeed at all costs. Yet he can't lose sight of the fact that she's the prime suspect in a series of thefts at his company. Desperate to prove her innocence, he comes up with a risky plan to smoke out the true culprit. But that's only the first hurdle in a campaign to win the heart of this wary woman who has stopped believing in happy endings. Unless Matthew can show her she is loved...now, tomorrow, and always.
