Romance Contemporary

Talk about Big Trouble! Naomi Connor has a secret she wants someone to forgive. The only way she believes she can get redemption is to acquire a contract as a computer security consultant for the very company she hacked into and almost destroyed when she was 12 years old. She talks her boss into letting her have the account and prepares herself to face the music.

What she isn't prepared for, though, is to face the company's chief technology officer, Joe Casey, part owner and oh so hot. Hot he may be, but he hates hackers. As a prosecutor, he puts them away under lock and key. And he's going to hate her when she tells him who she really is.

Joe has hired someone to try to penetrate the security system he designed and implemented. Their company has big- time government contracts, but he's convinced no one can hack into his system. It's only happened once before, but that was enough to almost destroy the company. He's made sure that will never happen again. When the consultant arrives, Joe has difficulty relating the beautiful goddess of a blonde with the geeky computer nerd he's pictured in his mind.

Joe never mixes business with pleasure and Naomi doesn't mingle with clients. These two need to learn the old adage of never say never.

BIG TROUBLE held my interest and before I knew it I'd finished the story. I really enjoyed the computer-related dialogue between these two braniacs. Naomi's ethics and morals mixed with Joe's defenses made for fun interactions. I so enjoyed this story.

SUMMARY

Naomi Connor is a hot computer security consultant who breaches unbreachable defenses before hackers can. Her new assignment is a security audit for the company she nearly destroyed herself once as an illegal hacker. Returning to the scene of her crime could put her reputation and heart at risk when she meets the Chief Technology Officer Joe Casey, conservative at heart and cynical about love. But Naomi has ways of penetrating all kinds of firewalls and generating the kind of sparks even Joe can't ignore. But with a secret like hers, romance could be big trouble.
