About This Item
New York: Jove Publications, 2000. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 6x4x1. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 359 pp; spine creasing, light edge wear; Seattle CEOs Elizabeth Cabot and Jack Fairfax have more in common than they think. One is an "ice princess," the other a coldhearted executive. Both are willing to lie, cheat, and steal their ways to the stop. And both are feverishly attracted to the other. Soon trouble arises at Excalibur Advanced Materials Research, a company of which they are both financial investors. An employee has been murdered; a lab has been ransacked; and inventor Tyler Page has escaped with Soft Focus, a crystal that could revolutionize computer technology. Now Elizabeth and Jack begin a wild, sexy chase which ultimately leads them to a neo-noir film festival. Femme fatales, fast talkers, low lighting, and lots of sex fill the pages of this spicy, suspenseful romance.
Synopsis
With her hallmark blend of sparkling style and wit, intricate suspense, and steamy passion, Jayne Ann Krentz is truly one of a kind. One of today's premier storytellers, she has more than twenty-three million copies of her novels in print. Now the phenomenal New York Times bestselling author spins her latest scintillating tale: a story of two people bound together by that most binding of ties--a business contract. Elizabeth Cabot is all business. She knows how to maximize her investments and cut her losses--in both her career and her personal life. So when she discovers that Jack Fairfax has deceived her, she's determined to end their relationship. Putting a stop to their budding romance is easy. But breaking up their business deal will be more difficult. Despite all her efforts, she has no luck disentangling herself from Jack's client company, Excalibur. But the situation becomes even more strained when a new obstacle emerges: a lethal act of sabotage that could put both of them out of business for good. Elizabeth is no fool. If she can help Jack save Excalibur, she'll recoup her substantial investment plus millions in profit. Putting her emotions aside, she insists on helping him search for the scientist who's disappeared with a valuable new crystal that could revolutionize the high-tech industry. She'll go in, solve the problem--and get out. The trail leads Elizabeth and Jack to a fringe film festival, but their goal is as elusive as the shadowy black-and-white images from classic noir films. Life starts to imitate art, and double-dealing seems to be the name of the game. For these business adversaries turned reluctant partners, keeping an eye on each other--and the lid on a sizzling attraction--seems the only insurance against further treachery. But with millions at stake, trust can turn to betrayal in the blink of an eye.
