About this ebook

Who knew that one night out would change everything?

As a financial analyst, Rachel Bai is more comfortable with numbers than people. When her boss promotes her to head a team in San Francisco, his message is clear—she has one year to build a successful team and become an effective leader. Rachel sets out to discover how to be more comfortable interacting with people, but a drunken night meant for research results in a mechanical bull ride and a one-night stand with a sexy stranger—definitely not part of her plan.

Attorney Luke Trudeau is intrigued by the mysterious woman who’s determined to put their night together firmly in her rearview mirror. So when Luke sees Rachel again, he proposes a deal: he’ll smooth out her rough social edges and teach her to charm clients if she’ll help him devise a financial plan to open his own practice.

It seems like a win-win, but Luke breaks the rules by falling in love. Can he convince Rachel that what they have is real and, when it comes to love, there are no set rules?

Ratings and reviews

Rachel is really awful in social settings. She makes mistakes all the time. When she is moved to a new office with new obligations, one of them is to interact with her new team and with prospective clients. Luke is a lawyer who wants to start his own practice. He is in the dark about how to go about it. He and Rachel meet at a bar and have a lustful night. It includes conversations about their dilemmas and deciding to partner to solve them as Rachel is a research and numbers whiz and Luke is at ease in social settings. The ebb and flow of their relationship and off the charts chemistry is captivating. Throw in a Gal Squad and two moms and it is a perfect plot for advice, meddling, and romance.
