No denying Jason Andrews was certainly extraordinary to look at. And he knew it. Women flocked to garner whatever attention they could from the man the magazines dubbed the sexiest man alive. His reputation was that of a womanizer. And when Taylor Donovan met him face to face for the first time all she saw was Jason Andrews the actor.

Assigned by her law firm to coach Jason on court room behavior Taylor was appalled. This was a waste of her valuable time specially while preparing for an upcoming sexual harassment case. She knew how good she was--having never lost a case--and this was way beneath her. But since she was working her way up to a partnership she wasn't in the position to argue when faced with an order from the boss. She was just temporarily assigned to the California office but knew that her work there was closely monitored by those who make the promotion decisions. So that's how she found herself waiting for Mr. Sexy to arrive for his coaching sessions while he was enjoying four day gambling spree in Las Vegas. Not an auspicious way to start a relationship. When finally getting down to the task Jason actually found himself enjoying the verbal sparring with this beautiful and intelligent woman and was just amazed that she didn't react to him as he was used to. Just what kind of game was she playing. Well two could play that game and soon the two of them were on their way to see who would be the victor and gain the spoils of war. But something happened along the way to both Jason and Taylor, they started to look beneath the surface and were quite taken with what they uncovered. All's fair in love and war but it does mean taking chances with your heart. For Jason it requires major changes in his lifestyle and for Taylor it requires trust that her heart won't be broken once again. So the big question is it worth the gamble.
