Blurb: A hacker
is targeting Meredith Crismis’s struggling new dessert company. But when the
tech firm she depends on sends hunky computer expert Vlad Wiznitsky to fix the
problem, things begin improving for Meredith, both personally and
professionally.
First, her relationship with Vlad heats up to the sizzling point, then Meredith’s given the chance to snag a wealthy customer who could put her company’s bottom line permanently into the black. It seems like a dream come true, until the persistent hacker turns her “Divine Desserts” website into an X-rated marketplace, the wealthy customer demands a discontinued decorative item or else no sale, and her relationship with Vlad begins to unravel under the pressure of her obsession with professional success.
For a woman who deals with creating intricate wedding cakes and luscious muffins, life has suddenly become the ultimate recipe for disaster.
Excerpt:
“Do you
know how long it’s been this way?” he asked.
“After
all the trouble I’ve had with my office computer, I decided to check my company
site several times a day. As of four-thirty this afternoon, everything was
fine, so it hasn’t been long.” Meredith sighed. Just long enough to turn her
business into an X-rated paradise for horny consumers.
“Message
just came in for you,” Vlad said, and she stopped pacing and went back to the
desk, silently praying it wasn’t like the twenty-seven other messages she’d
received in the past fifty-two minutes.
As she
leaned over his shoulder, she tapped the message tab, stared at the screen, and
couldn’t restrain herself when she read the thing. Angry, frustrated, and
seriously at the end of her rope, she gave a growl and stabbed her finger at
the message.
“I just
got another order, this one for two sets of edible underwear in chocolate mint
and two sets in blueberry. That’s twenty-eight orders in less than an hour. I
never did this good selling desserts.”
She swung
away from the computer and went back to her pacing. “I can’t deal with any more
of this today. I’ll contact those people in the morning and return their
money.”
“Okay,
did it,” Vlad said, pushing his chair away from the desk and turning to her.
“You no longer sell X-rated sex toys.”
Meredith
sank into a chair. “Thank God. If my parents ever saw that, they’d disown me.”
“Actually,
I’m a little sorry to see that site go. Some of those toys looked sort of
interesting. I mean what’s not to like about frosted condoms?”
She
narrowed her eyes at him, trying to look forbidding even though she was feeling
much too relieved to be angry. With Vlad on her side, her sense of helplessness
was gone and she could even appreciate the crazy, if sick, humor of the
situation.
“Interesting?”
she said as she took a handful of rubber bands from a bowl on the desk and
tossed them at him. “Now you’re really in for it, buddy.”
Vlad
ducked and pushed to his feet, coming at her in a crouch. “I’m in for it? Think
again, and then tell me who’s in for it.”
Laughing,
Meredith sprang from her chair and ran, but he caught her at the door and swung
her into his arms.
“Think
you’re going to get what you want, eh?” she said, pushing at his chest.
She
kicked her feet, and her shoes went flying. But they both knew her resistance
was a sham.
He
bounced her a little in his arms to get a firmer hold and began walking.
“I think
we’re both going to get what I want,” he said, flashing a victorious grin.
“And
from the feel of things what you want too.”
