THE STAKES ARE HIGH.

For successful advertising exec Brennan Thomas. But when he's offered the chance to make partner, he goes all out to win the new account. Then his colleagues throw down another challenge-transform geeky co- worker Krista Hamilton from a dud to a diva. And when the money's on the table, Brennan isn't one to walk away.

IN THE GAME OF LOVE.

Krista Hamilton is clueless. She hides her insecurities behind dowdy clothes and a brilliant mind. Always the butt of office jokes, the last thing she expects is the attention of handsome and sexy Brennan Thomas. But against her instincts she opens her heart, only to discover that she is the object of an office dare...

ALL BETS ARE OFF.

Unless Brennan can convince Krista that his feelings are sincere and that she is more important to him than a partnership and all the money in the world. Winning Krista's love is the biggest test he's ever faced and he plans to succeed before it's too late. But Krista has some demands of her own.
