Deck

She's got a debt to pay and he holds the IOU... Ben Tannen was the undisputed leader of his high school band known as the Deck. He was the Ace. Heidi Malone was the Joker and the only female among the five. All four men were half in love with her-Ben maybe more than half. Still, there had always been a certain tension between the Golden Boy and Heidi-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks. And his offer of money for her college tuition didn't go over so well. She lashed out with her pride-and a bicycle chain. Fifteen years later, Heidi still owes Ben an apology, and he still holds her IOU. He plans to collect and prove to her that they'd make much better lovers than fighters.

He can give her what she needs but is the price too high? Shandi Fossey is mixing cocktails at the bar in Hush, the hottest hotel in Manhattan. The place oozes fantasy of the hottest sort but for Shandi, it's a temp gig until she lands her dream job... and it's a lot better than pulling beers at the Thirsty Rattler back home. Then music producer Quentin Marks walks in and offers to buy her a drink. He's got the connections she needs and can open a lot of doors. So why is the only door she wants to open the one to his room upstairs? And why in the world is she putting a man ahead of her future?
