One night only.
Just think of the possibilities...
The second she sees Mr. Oh-So-Delicious, Jennifer Hayes knows she needs one night of crazy. No names, no strings, no rules. Except that Jennifer’s naughty one-nighter is actually Marcus Wright—her new business partner! Now they’re mixing business with all kinds of pleasure. But when it comes to falling in love, her sexy Mr. Wright is either Mr. Wrong or the best mistake of her life...
RACHAEL STEWART adores conjuring up stories, from heartwarmingly romantic to wildly erotic. She’s been writing since she could put pen to paper—as the stacks of scrawled-on pages in her loft will attest to. A Welsh lass at heart, she now lives in Yorkshire, with her very own hero and three awesome kids, and if she’s not tapping out a story she’s wrapped up in one or enjoying the great outdoors.

My first Mills & Boon has to go to my mum and dad, for instilling in me their passion for books from a very young age.

My only regret is that my mother didn’t live long enough to see me welcomed into the world of Harlequin Mills & Boon—so, Dad, you need to celebrate enough for the two of you now, okay?
Love you both always. Thank you for making me, me.
