Midwestern librarian Letitia Thornquist didn't have the right stuff to run Thornquist Gear, Inc. That was the bottom-line opinion of Joel Blackstone, the seasoned CEO who had built the small Seattle sporting goods store into an industry giant. But Letty's rich Uncle Charlie willed her the company, and she can't wait for Joel to show her the ropes. Teaching her the business was all Joel grudgingly planned to do...until the sensuous curves under Letty's navy suit and the unabashed desire in her wide, innocent eyes left him longing for a personal kind of merger. But Joel's sizzling kisses were a risky commodity; behind his tough facade, Letty sensed a world of hurt that cried out for her warmth and understanding. They have to work overtime to build their mutual trust from 9 to 5...and in the loving after-hours from midnight to dawn.
