Venus & Mars

Want to find a hot guy? Stall your train wreck of a car in the middle of the busiest intersection of the city during rush hour. It doesn't hurt if you have sea green eyes, a sassy mouth and can rock a bikini. Want to meet the woman of your dreams? Try ramming your Mercedes into her stalled vehicle and take the blame when the PD issues a traffic ticket. What could go wrong? Throw in the sexy ex-wife who's after your guy. The guy's mother who hates you on sight. Oh, and a crazed killer bent on revenge. Disaster, right? Fortunately, Max the cat is on the job.

As a golden girl of Louisville society, Alisha Shelby's childhood, meant private schools, a social life with the horsy set, and doting parents. Her father raised Alisha as the son who would inherit the family business, Econ Utilities. At an early age, Alisha sat by her father's side and learned the business from the ground up. Kyle Talbot was ten years old when his father was killed in a horse training accident. A year later, the Earl of Chelmsford came calling and returned to England with the beautiful widow, her stable's blooded stock, and a headstrong stepson. As a man Kyle had one ambition--to prove to his stepfather that he would build his own status. He starts at the bottom rung of the earl's company, World Energy, laying pipeline under rigorous conditions. Fate brings Kyle and Alisha together as adversaries, when Kyle's stepfather sends him back to his childhood home as a corporate raider, to acquire ownership of Econ Utilities. Alisha's world goes into a tailspin as she fights to save Econ, while struggling against her fierce attraction for the man who represents her family's worst enemy.
