She drives him crazy… In more ways than one. Every time Leah Holt encounters Quantum Production's chief counsel, Emmett Burke, the only thing she can think of is how much she wants to lick him. Everywhere. She's never had that kind of reaction to a man, and the fact that he's a much-older colleague makes her out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, she brings a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see her as a grown woman who wants him desperately. She walks a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe's sexy attorney.To Emmett, Leah is a fly buzzing around his head who can't be swatted away. She's always there, looking at him, asking him legal questions that have nothing to do with his specialty in entertainment law and generally driving him mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. He wants to toss her over his desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office-especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. As the author of the company's policy on inter-office dating, he's painfully aware of all the reasons he should stay far, far away from her and the tantalizing temptation she represents.Then Leah gets her chance to step up for Emmett, to help him through an unfortunate "accident" and to show him she's much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him-and that those feelings are returned-she wonders if he will take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm's length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. But Emmett knows if he's going to let her in, he has to let her all the way in. What will she think when he introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle? Will she still want him the way she does now or will she run away in horror? And what will he do if she runs away?When Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his "annoying little fly" has worked her way firmly into his heart-and his bed. Also, join the entire Quantum team at the company's vineyard in Napa for Hayden and Addie's wedding!
