Rules Of Engagement

By Carla Cassidy

FROM THE DESK OF EMILY WINTERS

Bachelor #5: Nate Leeman

Title: Senior VP of Technology

This month’s scheme: Hire his old flame — the only woman who can drive this exec crazy.

Lone wolf Nate Leeman must have an iceberg in place of his heart — I bet the hunky executive wouldn’t notice if Miss Universe hit on him! But there is one woman who can melt his insides — the love he let get away. Sparks are gonna fly when Nate discovers I’ve hired his archrival, fiery beauty Kat Sanderson, to help us catch a computer thief. Working closely should fan the flames of passion that I hope still burn between them!
