    Lori's just looking for little time to focus on work after a bad breakup - until a steamy encounter with a sensual stranger leaves her looking for much, much more.
         
                                                                              *****
         
        Ben Stone is used to getting exactly what he wants. Being a successful businessman and known playboy allows him his pick of beautiful women. He loves them all - but just for a night. That is, until he seduces Lori at her friend's bachelorette party and can't get her out of his head. For Lori, men do not make the short list of important things in her life - but then again, she hasn't met Ben before. When their relationship must be kept a secret they're forced to make a choice: prior obligations, or their burning flame?
