When his family's company is on the line, business and pleasure definitely don't mix, but maybe they should... Madeline Ross left the city and a career glass ceiling behind, hoping to build a new life as the crew supervisor for Walker Construction in River's Edge. She's qualified and experienced, but new CEO Jackson Walker hires someone else. Even as she searches for a different job and builds a life in River's Edge, the sexy memory of Jack teases. After a rough year, Jackson Walker's family business is still struggling. He needs a new construction crew supervisor, and Maddie Ross is perfect, except for the first time in his life, player Jack is suddenly smitten with the curvaceous redhead. He wants her in his bed more than on his payroll. When his second-rate new hire is a disastrous mistake, Jack humbles himself on Maddie's doorstep with an offer she can't refuse. Maddie could be the key to saving his company as long as he hides his heart. But does he have to?
