Hotshot marketing consultant Dane McAndrews always goes after what he wants. When a freak storm strands him at a motel, he makes certain he shares the one room left at the inn with a mystery woman who looks like a drenched mouse. But appearances can be deceiving and Dane's testosterone skyrockets when his lover removes her drab overcoat and produces a pair of silk scarves.

The biggest risk consultant Leigh Goodwin has taken recently is to leave a job before she's too badly burned. Oh yes, and commission a tattoo at the base of her spine. So she can't explain the wild impulse that drives her to proposition a stranger into creating her private fantasy—one in which she has total control over his body.

When Leigh discovers that her coworker on her latest project is none other than her mystery lover, she's determined to ignore the reality of their attraction for the sake of her job and business reputation. But, like a dog with a bone, Dane is equally determined to persuade his prissy coworker to unleash her inner wildcat.
