She knows immediately, therefore, that a pragmatic assistant district attorney like Jackson Taggart—a Taurus, of all things-- is completely wrong for her. Since she doesn’t own enough crystals to ward off the man’s major magnetism, however, maybe a simple, no-strings fling would fulfill her penchant for passion. Jackson Taggart sees enough corruption in his native city–and in his own family– without entangling himself with one of the most visible figures in Miami’s sexy club with a checkered history. But Summer Farnsworth’s figure is one that can’t very well be ignored, especially when she’s knee deep redecorating the club’s titillating accommodations.

Yet Jackson knows he’s in way over his head when her sexy dare is all he can think about... less
