Dan Cannon confronts the worst experience of his life when he discovers money, and lots of it, is missing from company accounts. He's a little heartbroken over the loss of Bryn in the intimate threesome he and his cousin Alex shared with her, even though he's happy the couple is ready to start a family. He blames himself for being distracted so much that Cannon Company has suffered. When he hires CPA Riley Montgomery to track down the money, the last thing he expects is to find himself completely distracted by the woman. Riley can't afford to venture off into unethical dalliance with a client, even if the client is the devastatingly handsome Dan Cannon. She tries to stay focused on the pact she's made with her old friend and current lover Lucy Duncan, both women sworn to stay away from men. But Lucy decides Dan is too good to pass up, especially after he makes good on his threat to spank her. Things go from bad to worse when Riley uncovers a money trail pointing to Cannon Company's long-time employee and Lucy realizes that the sparks flying between Dan and Riley scream for friendly intervention. With her role in the investigation ended and her attraction to Dan testing her limits, Riley becomes mystified about his lack of follow-up and decides to take bold action. Will Riley's risk cost her the man of her dreams? Will Dan's commitment to the family business keep him from loving again? When is it time to give up hope?
