''You''re here because I want to touch you.''
Beth Jacobs spends her days slogging away in a corporate ''fish bowl,'' as the hard-working assistant for one of North America''s youngest dot-com billionaires. Aleksander ''Z'' Zavtra is the definition of dark and dangerous with a sexy Eastern European snarl. He''s also ruthless. Curt. Exacting. An infuriating man she loves to hate. While Beth hardly sees him, it''s as if he''s always watching her . . .
Z doesn''t do romance. But he never expected to be captivated by a whip-smart, fiery assistant who just so happens to share an uncanny resemblance to the beautiful face that haunts his dreams. He craves Beth. He wants to stroke her skin, to feel her heat beneath him. And what Z wants, he gets. And for one weekend, the lines between employer and employee are blurred as Z and Beth give themselves completely to the dark pleasures they''ve both been dreaming about.
