The Crystal Rose...Where generations meet and romance still thrives. A string of bad luck leads Sheridan McLaughlin back to her godfather and his precious nightclub for a job. But once back at The Crystal Rose, Sheridan discovers that Uncle Joel has a new associate, none other than the infamous investment tycoon, Russell Madison, the son of a man her father hated for years. Russell is, and always will be, a renowned womanizer who would commit every sin known to man before committing to a woman. Unfortunately, Sheridan doesn't find out that he is not only an associate, but a new partner until after she decides that she detests him. Russell has a knack for throwing her metabolism out of whack by setting off her temper, making her knees turn to jelly, indecently propositioning her, charming secrets out of her and sending her brain into a fixated stupor. All reasons enough to despise the insufferable beast. Russell has his own reasons for being at The Crystal Rose, but he never expected to be confronted with the problems of dealing with Joel's niece. Her appearance at the club not only causes problems with his ultimate goals, but with his heart. Despite their resistance and the malicious intent of a jealous suitor, nothing can stop the tumultuous relationship that grows. Is their love strong enough to prevent history from repeating itself? She is an opinionated, hot-tempered fireball and he is an arrogant, womanizing scoundrel, but is anyone who they seem to be at The Crystal Rose?
