Dane meets Julia when he checks her out singing at a lounge.  He wants to hire her to sing at his new hotel, and offers her a job hard to refuse.  She is thinking it is almost too good an offer and those tend to be bad.

Even if he wasn’t her boss, Julia’s painful history has given her ample reason to steer clear of rich, powerful charmers. Still, their chemistry is unlike anything she’s known, and when it becomes too much to re...
