A decade of working for the high-powered Gilchrist family empire has made sassy Katy Wade determined to open her own business. But there’s one last problem she must solve before she can leave. The Gilchrists need an heir apparent to save their mysteriously floundering fortunes, and there’s only one man for the job: Luke Gilchrist. Katy pulls off a minor miracle: she persuades Justine’s grandson Luke, a talented restaurant consultant who has no use for his relatives, to rescue the family’s restaurant chain from its financial decline

All his life the Gilchrists have made Luke pay for his father’s scandal, and now he’s a renegade who’s sworn he’ll never go home-except to get even. Katy must persuade Luke to use his business expertise to rescue his family, but one look in his sexy green eyes, and she knows why they affectionately call him “the Bastard.” Meanwhile, Luke’s decided he wants her even more than he wants revenge. He agrees to play savior, but only with Katy at his side. After nosing around, Luke claims that the business is being sabotaged from within.

It’s a strategy sure to make this red-haired angel madder than hell, but she’s the only one who can turn this devilish rogue into a family man. Now he must trust Katy with his secrets-and she must believe in his love.

Meanwhile some of the Gilchrists suspect that he’ll destroy the company to gain revenge: his father was disinherited by Justine when he left at the altar the bride she had handpicked (the woman who became Katy’s mother). In fact, Luke plots only to win Katy, which is not easy, given that the young woman wants out of her job and away from everyone named Gilchrist.

In her own saucy, upbeat style, Krentz turns this eccentric family and pair of mismatched lovers (so everyone tells them) into an entertaining story. Krentz is even confident enough to question the genre rules she plays by so well, as when Katy walks out on Luke during a passionate love scene, saying, There’s no call to get surly. You started this. Her fans will eat it up.
