From the cover: The free-spirited rebel of her powerful family, Jessie Benedict was determined not to marry her father's protege, Sam Hatchard. BUt no one was taking "NO!" for an answer: not Jessie's mother and stepmother, ex-wives affectionately known as "The Moms" ... not her father, Vincent, whose two spectacularly failed marriages left him somewhat lacking as a matchmaker. And certainly not Hatchard, the infuriating match in question, a chip off Vincent's workaholic block, compellingly masculine and an entrepreneur extraordinaire. Jessie couldn't deny that Hatch was hot, all right - hot for the empire he planned to build using her inheritance!

Jessie has plans for her own career as a detective - starting with the rescue of a teenage girl from a dangerous cult. Hatch does make her heart beat deliciously fast, but she's not taking orders from any man. IMagine her surprise when he turns out to be not only a friend and ally, but a strong, tender lover who, in the end, knows how to get to "YES!" for an answer.
