JJ Burleson met the woman he knew he was destined to marry a few years ago. They spent a wonderful week together at a conference, with JJ planning to propose before it ended and bring her back to his hometown. But for some unknown reason, Deanna Wolfe ended their fling before he could get the words out, leaving him heartbroken.
Deanna had fallen head over heels for JJ when she first met him. But after a whirlwind week with him, she had to end things because she knew she could never give him the family he wanted in the future. She went home and tried to make herself forget the younger man who’d stolen her heart, but it was difficult when her boss at OK Oil kept going head to head with JJ for deals they both wanted for their companies. While she never had to see him, it was still difficult for her to hear his name whenever Burleson Incorporated won a contract her boss wanted.
When JJ’s cousin married Deanna’s best friend, their longing for one another only got worse because she could no longer avoid seeing him whenever her friend invited her to family events. Especially when she learned that their breakup led him to study the kinks they’d both been curious about years ago.
Somehow she managed to keep her secrets, if not her distance, from JJ for over a year after they ran into one another again. But when Burleson Incorporated bought out OK Oil, JJ moved out of his small hometown to take over as her boss in Tulsa. Fighting their destiny was a lot harder when she had to report to him daily as his executive assistant.
