Rating: 4.5 stars
Savannah Emery, a beautiful woman angry over losing her "man" to another.
Enter the fray, one Cord Harding, Savannah's boss and the one man determined
to make her his.
Savannah, feeling down and a tad angry over losing the man she thought was
hers, decides to play cards. She has a winning streak going when she sees Cord headed her way. She decides to quit while she is ahead. But, Cord is not to be deterred and goads Savannah into a game of twenty-one with only him.
Cord says he wants to play her for a weekend and Savannah feeling reckless after drinking a bit too much agrees to his terms. She has no intention on honoring the bet but doesn't tell Cord this. This doesn't deter Cord one bit and he ruthlessly pursues her. He claims to want a weekend with her, but Savannah realizes she wants more. She wants Cord to love her and to be hers forever. Can she hope to trap him as thoroughly as he has trapped her?
In the end both realize they are after the same thing...a lifetime together.
It was gratifying to watch Cord ensnare Savannah and her to do the same to
him. A tastefully written story of love and desire. Neither of these like to
lose, but what they win in the end is far greater.
