A corporate retreat provides laid-back Tadeo Xalvador with the opportunity he's been waiting for—close quarters with co-worker Kit Emelin. She's brushed him off in the past, but he's banking on her brusque manner having less to do with the professional competition between divisions...and everything to do with avoiding the attraction sizzling between them. Her type A personality drives Kit to view the forest retreat as another place to display her leadership skills. Nowhere in her plans does she allow for a board game of wanton words with the sexy wonder boy of sales. She clings to her rule against dating a colleague. But when coyotes drive them into an empty cabin, adrenaline and lust lead to unquenchable passion she can't deny.
