Tonie Ramirez built Silicon Valley’s most promising tech startup from nothing. Brilliant, obsessive, and emotionally guarded, she’s the guest of honor at an elite gala. All she needs is a date.

Julia agrees to accompany Tonie because she desperately needs money. She never expected to find her attractive or the wild tango that ignites into unforgettable desire.

But a humiliating mistake shatters their chance at love before it can begin.

Two years later, Tonie’s under attack from predatory rivals determined to steal her work. Julia, now a financier, is horrified to discover she’s working for the people trying to destroy Tonie.

Thrown together again in a web of corporate sabotage, escalating threats, and unfinished passion, they retreat to Lake Tahoe where their desire burns hot and danger is closing in. Someone wants the startup badly enough to resort to violence and Tonie and Julia could lose more than their hearts.
