She knows her brother's not dead - unfortunately, his company may fold if she doesn't do something quick. Annie Lyncroft's solution? Marriage. Oliver Rain is the richest, and the most dangerous, man in the Pacific Northwest. Her brother trusted him, but is she playing right into his hands?

Oliver and Annie are a perfect match - spotting the bad guys may not be too difficult, but it's entertaining just following along as Annie manages to completely disrupt Oliver's world by simply expecting the best of him. (

Another of Jayne Ann Krentz's romances involving a quirky, loving and free-spirited woman who is attracted to a mistrustful and wounded male. Despite their wariness and caution, they are drawn together by fate and ultimately find themselves attracted to each other. From there, romance blooms.

The plot is entertaining enough and the dialogue has some funny moments. It's the type of romance Krentz used to do well. An easy and enjoyable read. (

WIth her brother missing after a mysterious plane crash, Annie Lyncroft struggles to protect his innovative high-tech company from sharks who think he's not coming back. She just knows Danny's alive. But the only way she can think of to save the company is to install its biggest investor at the helm ... and to do that she needs to marry him.

Oliver Rain is the richest man in the Pacific Northwest - and possibly the most dangerous. When he agrees to marry Annie, she dreamily imagines transforming him into a sensitive guy. But Oliver has been watching Annie with his cold, gorgeous eyes and he has a plan: to seduce her. Now, two strong-willed opposites mix business with the mysterious, irresistible pleasures of true love.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671728571, Mass Market Paperback)

Annie Lyncroft knew her scheme was outrageous. She'd come to the elegant penthouse to meet Oliver Rain, the richest and possibly the most dangerous man in the Pacific Northwest. Annie needed this sensual, secretive corporate maverick for what she was about to propose. Marriage!

With her brother Danny missing after a mysterious plane crash, Annie is struggling to protect his hot electronics company from the sharks who think he's not coming back. But fanciful, ethical Annie -- who usually runs a bizarre bric-a-brac shop knows Danny's alive, and she's determined to keep his company safe by putting his biggest investor at the helm. When Oliver actually says yes to the marriage of convenience, Annie dreamily envisions a few platonic weeks of helping him become a sensitive New Age guy. Oliver has a different plan; his cold, gorgeous eyes have been watching Annie, and he sees his chance to seduce the beautiful schemer. Love is the wild card destined to teach these two strong-willed opposites a lesson: icy control might run the business world, but all hell is about to break loose in the passionate territory of the heart.
