Entrepreneur, serial-dating Stevi Hague loves life, but she's currently running on empty. Who knew owning and running the trendy, upscale bar-the Mississippi Queen-with her sister and cousin wouldn't be enough for her? Throw in some fun nightlife and dating adventures with friends and friends of friends, and Stevi had assumed she was all set for her own brand of happily-ever-after.

Enter her sister's new love and the baby they're expecting and suddenly, Stevi thinks she might need more from her own life. Add in some heavy-duty flirting with sexy bartender, Duncan Marks, and Stevi finds herself a flustered mix of emotions that she isn't sure how to maneuver. After all, Duncan's not just a sexy guy good for a fun-while-it-lasts fling. He's her cousin's stepbrother, Stevi's known him for years, and she loves him like family. Not to mention, he's an integral part of the Queen's success.

If Stevi indulges in a fling with Duncan, and it doesn't work out, they have the potential to bring the Queen down and ruin their family business.

Duncan Marks can't keep his eyes off Stevi anymore. He's tired of trying to behave. Stevi's a beautiful, lively woman, and she's flirting back, which means she's ready to play, right? The trouble is, Duncan would have no mercy for another man who looked at Stevi this way, and he knows they're playing with fire.

When a friendly game of bar dice pushes them into dangerous territory, Duncan promises he can handle a steamy fling and walk away with no hard feelings. But the closer he gets to Stevi, the more he wants from her, maybe even forever.
