Synopsis:
In this seductive new novella from New York Times bestselling author Sydney Landon, Mia
Gentry refuses to give up her independence—until Seth Jackson shows her just how hot
losing control can be…
Living the life of a rich socialite was never in Mia’s plans, much to the chagrin of her wealthy
parents. She’s made her own way, studying computer science at Brown and snagging a coveted
position with Danvers International after graduation. Her plan to avoid parental involvement
seems to be going well until her mother buys her a date at a charity auction—with the hot resort
owner who she’s been eyeing on her latest work project.
Seth never mixes business with pleasure, but something about Mia drives him to distraction.
Giving into his desires for just one night will hopefully clear his head enough to keep his hands
off her during office hours.
But when one mind-blowing night turns into weeks of flirtation, frustration, and companionship,
Mia realizes that their workplace fling may be developing into more—and that Seth might be the
perfect man she’s been waiting for…
Excerpt:
Sticking his hand out, he said, “It’s Seth and you must be Mia. I take it Margie showed you
around. Did you have any other questions?”
“Nope, I think Margie gave me the 411 on everything. I’m just going over your equipment now.
Do you want to keep your hard drive? I can dispose of it, but some people are funny about that.”
Seth couldn’t believe that the words equipment and hard drive had his cock stirring to attention.
What in the hell was wrong with him? Why was he suddenly incapable of thinking of anything
other than bending her over the control desk and fucking her senseless? He had to get out of this
room before she noticed the tent in the front of his trousers. “Um, yeah, you can just keep it. I’m
sure my hard drive will be safe with you.” Holy shit, did I actually just say that to her? So not
cool. Just get out now before this gets worse. “I’ve got to get back to my office. Just let Margie
know if you need anything.”
Mia looked at him in confusion and then to the space beyond him. “Isn’t that your office?”
“Oh, sure, yes. I meant to say, I was heading to lunch. You might be gone when I get back.”
God, he really hoped so.
She looked down at her watch, seeming surprised by the time. Almost as if by some cruel twist
of fate, her stomach growled at the same moment. “Where are you going for lunch?”
Before thinking better of it, he said, “I usually grab something from the restaurant downstairs.
They have an excellent lunch buffet.”
Mia moaned and Seth started sweating harder. “Oh, they so totally do. It’s been ages since I’ve
eaten there. Do you mind if I tag along? I hate to eat alone and I’m starving.”
“Er . . . sure. Just give me five minutes to finish a few things and I’ll be ready.” He could only
imagine what she thought he had to “finish up” when he headed straight for his private restroom
on the other side of his office. He just needed a few minutes to collect himself before what would
undoubtedly be a long lunch hour.

About the Author:
Sydney Landon lives in Greenville, South Carolina and has spent the last twenty-five years
working in accounting. Sydney met her own prince charming in 2000 and received the most
romantic proposal on a pier in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, thus creating her eternal love for
the city. The fact that her future husband was a fellow computer geek completely sealed the
deal for her. She credits him with keeping her calm and rational while also understanding her
need for a new pair of shoes every other week. They have two children who keep life interesting
and borderline insane, but never boring. The idea of the Danvers’ Series popped into her head
and refused to go away. She started writing the first story never imagining that it would ever
be finished. Three months later it turned into her first book, Weekends Required. Within a few
months, it had quickly made the best-seller list on Amazon, and went on to make the New York
Times Best Seller List. Barely taking a breath between books, Sydney followed up with the
second book in the series, Not Planning on You. Within the first month, this book also became a
best-seller. The third book in the series, Fall For Me was released in February 2013 and became
a New York Times Best Seller. The fourth book in the series, Fighting For You releases in
paperback in February 2014. Sydney is currently working on the fifth book in the Danvers’
Series. When she isn’t writing, Sydney enjoys reading, swimming and being a mini-van driving,
soccer mom.
