A kidnapped geek, a daring rescue…

When brilliant, hot-tempered IT tech Skyler Jones is kidnapped, she manages to almost escape, only to be cornered in the hotel room of a half-naked, enigmatic truck of a man. As the kidnappers burst into the room, the man hides Skyler by covering her body with his–and kissing her. The man, known only as Cliff, races Skyler through hot narrow streets and hides her on a boat going home.

Skyler thinks her troubles are over, but Cliff is really Sir Humphrey Hawkesclyffe, genius inventor of the next gen supercomputer. He’s zeroed in on Skyler–he says for heading his software development team, business only. But as they work together, Skyler starts to fall for the lonely boy genius who’s become a rugged man of action.

He seems to fall for her, too–at least their sizzling kisses suggest more than simple chemistry. But is Cliff just mixing pleasure with his business? Then the kidnappers come back for round two…but it’s not Skyler they’ve come for this time.
