The Business of Love — Anna James

Behind their united front, they're butting heads-and fighting their hearts.

Sophia Hamilton can't believe her late stepfather split the family firm three ways. With her hard-earned master's degree, she and her stepbrother, Allen, are perfectly capable of running the firm. Instead, she's forced to share the reins with Dante Leone. The man who split her heart in two. Six years ago Sophia fell hard for Dante, but when he discovered she was a starry-eyed nineteen to his twenty-eight, he shut her out. Worse, Allen's defection from the firm has left Dante with controlling interest. Dante is having a tough time seeing Sophia as anything other than the woman who lied to him. Yet her resignation isn't the moral victory he intended. He feels her absence deep in his heart-and the company plunges deeper into turmoil. Sophia returns on one condition: equal partnership all the way. But their redoubled efforts aren't working. And soon it becomes clear someone is bent on destroying not only her stepfather's legacy, but any chance of a future with Dante.

Warning: Contains a no-nonsense hero who thinks he can manage his heart as easily as he manages money, and the one woman capable of adjusting his risk tolerance for love.
