Book Description
Blending work and pleasure proved to be a risky endeavor for Lisette. Following her father's passing, she inherited the family business, struggling to keep Baird Shoes afloat amidst its rapid decline. With the company on the verge of collapse, Lisette found herself in desperate need of assistance.
Enter Rosco Hamden: wealthy, charming, and driven by ruthless ambition. Despite Lisette's reluctance, she recognized him as her last hope for salvation. However, grappling with her pride and professional integrity, she hesitated to seek his aid.
Lisette couldn't deny the undeniable attraction she felt towards Rosco, yet she remained resolute in her commitment to salvaging the business. Her focus lay in the boardroom, not the bedroom, as she navigated the delicate balance between business and personal desires.
