The Best Reason of All — Emily Elliott

As executive chairman of Selby Oil, Charlene McLanahan wielded a great deal of power. She could make or break a career. And when renowned biologist Dr. Leon Leatherman appeared before her grant committee, requesting money to pursue his controversial research in genetic engineering, she was faced with the most difficult decision of her life. The handsome scientist was as brilliant in seduction as he was in his laboratory, and before reason could outweigh passion, she was hooked. Charlene's wealth and position had already driven one man to betray her love. Now Leon's kisses burned with a sincerity that could only be from the heart. But would he still love her so passionately, so completely, if Selby Oil refused to offer the grant that guaranteed his future? And did she dare risk finding out?
