When filmmaker Christian Monroe runs into fiery—and frustrating—Elise Templeton at a party, the night quickly becomes the hottest one-night stand of their lives. But then her boss hires Christian to make a publicity film about Elise, and suddenly they’re in each other’s space. All day. Every day. And things are getting hotter…
Outside the bedroom, the two have nothing in common. Elise is focused solely on becoming the NBA’s first female general manager. And Christian learned long ago that being a work-a-holic—or being with one—is a recipe for disaster.
But the more Elise reveals her deepest desires and fears to Christian—something she’s done for no man, ever—the more Christian wonders how much longer he can keep his hands off the infuriating woman who rocked his world…

When Elise finally lands the job as a general manager to a well known basketball team shes proving her worth. But that's hard to do when her father is the one who passed the job to her, and shes a female in a male dominated job. Christian is the guy who will be filming her for a week for a documentary to show how truly dedicated she is to her work. Things get heating, feelings get mixed, and its an overall complicated situation.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved how dedicated Elise was, she knew her stuff and was a hard worker, wouldn't let it get into her way. I loved that she researched things and didn't just jump in because she knows how to do her job right. I loved seeing the relationship between Elise and Christian. There was plenty of steam, romance, and drama to keep things interesting. I really enjoyed reading this book, it was really fun. Overall I recommend you lovely readers to check this book out.
She speared him with her fiercest glare, the one that made even the most confident guy take a step back. “I walked out on you for a reason.”
He looked her directly in the eyes. “I know. You got scared.”
She refused to acknowledge the direct hit. How could he see so much when she worked so hard to make sure no one did? She forced out a scoff. “Wow, you really are conceited. I walked out because I’d had enough. I don’t do repeats. I don’t want you anymore. Got it?”
An arrogant smile spread slowly but surely across his face. “Do you really want me to prove you a liar?”
“As if you could.”
Wrong thing to say. She knew it as soon as the words left her mouth. She’d thrown down the gauntlet, and he was more than happy to pick it up. He inched closer. Like a dummy, she backed away—right into her desk. Christian bracketed her in between his arms. His heat scorched her. He bent his head. She sucked in a breath, waiting for his touch. Craving it. But he didn’t make contact. Instead, he kept his work-of-art lips a hair’s breadth away from her neck.
“Do you want me to kiss you?” he whispered, his breath tickling her skin. “Because I will, but only if you tell me to.”
“I thought you wanted things to remain platonic.”
“At the moment, I’m more interested in proving that I’m right. You want me to kiss you.”
She had to swallow twice before she could speak. “I’m not going to tell you to kiss me. I already told you I didn’t want to go there again.”
“Then why are you shaking? Why are your breaths coming out hard and fast like you’ve been running…or become aroused?”
He was so right. Her limbs were trembling. She could hear her ragged gasps of air, but there didn’t seem to be anything she could do to control their tempo. He did arouse her. Like no other man had ever done before. But there was no way in hell she’d admit that to him.
