COMMENTS: Quick, light romance read. Altho' part of a miniseries -- believe there are 3 other books focusing on 3 other young women also living @ Amber Court and working @ Colette Jewelry -- this definitely stands alone. Sylvie, is a very focused business woman and loves her job and feels her co-workers are her family. She is on a mission to stop Marcus Grey from destroying Colette Jewelery. Marcus Grey is a self-made man and for years he has believed his father's Jewelry business was destroyed by Colette & is out to make things right. The 2 seem to have different objectives but are very attracted to each other -- they each have to find a meeting ground before they can come to terms w/ both their working & personal relationships.

From BackCover:
Only a few weeks till Christmas and I'm in danger of losing the job I love and the only family I've ever really known — all thanks to devastatingly gorgeous Marcus Grey. Sure, Marcus has his reasons for wanting to take over the company, but I'm determined to do anything to stop him, even if that means spending time with him…alone, out of the office. After all, it's for the good of Colette, Inc. So what if I wind up losing something even more important…like my heart? ( )
