Wealthy-and-powerful-CEO_Case_Fortune-was-accustomed
to-getting-his-way.Now-he-had-his-sights-set-on-merging
his-company,Dakota_Fortune,with-Reynolds_Refining.But
when-the-deal-started-heading-south,the-charismatic-corporate
shark's-only-recourse-was-to-sweep_Gina_Reynolds-off-her
feet-to-acquire-her-father's-company.The-heroine-was-the
only-child-of-a-driven-businessman.She-was-estranged
from-her-father.She-had-no-idea-why-she-was-the-object
of-Case's-attention.She-told-him-she-would-never-sleep
with-anyone-she-wasn't-married-to-or-at-least-engaged.
He-wined-and-dined-her-until-he-gave-her-a-blinding
engagement-ring-at-a-family-gathering-at-his-family
estate.Eventually,upon-the-death-of-her-father,the
family-lawyers-inform-her-that-her-father-had-delayed
merging-with-Dakota_Fortune-in-order-to-leave-her
an-inheritance-when-he-learned-he-had-terminal-cancer.
She-realizes-that-the-dates,lovemaking-and-engagement
was-just-the-means-to-an-end.In-the-meantime,the-hero
realizes-that-she-means-more-to-him-than-just-a-business
deal-almost-too-late.
This-is-a-tug-at-the-heartstrings-on-many-levels-and-the
beginning-of-another-family-continuity.
