Enjoy New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis's classic story, where blond bombshell Kenna Mallory proves she can match wits with seriously sexy hotel VP Weston Roth.

Light, humorous romance. Kenna has made her life her own, doing whatever makes her happy and pays the bills, since she was cut off from her trust fund. Now Dad wants her back for 6 months, as a VP in the newest hotel in the chain. The only problem, Wes is already the VP and is not happy sharing the job with who he thinks is the entitled daughter of the owner. But Kenna looks at the "suits" and shakes things up in a good way and next thing you know, Wes is smitten. (

Her dad asks her to become co-VP in his latest hotel renovation. She's never fit the family mold. Weston isnt' happy about managing the hotel with a spoiled rich kid but quickly learns Kenna isn't what he thought. Nice sweet romance.

What a fun, romantic book! I loved it. And stereotypes can be SO wrong - as proved by both Kenna and Wes. A quick and easy read, definitely a pick-me-up book, and it made me want to read more books by Jill Shalvis. (

Book description

Kenna Mallory is loath to give up her hard-won independence, but when her father asks her to take over as VP of one of the family’s latest hotel acquisitions, Kenna can’t resist the opportunity to prove herself. The catch? She has to be the co-VP along with Weston Roth. With a name like that, Kenna is sure Weston must be old and doddering.

Wes is neither. And after years of working hard to get where he is, he doesn’t appreciate Kenna’s sudden arrival on the scene. Yet he can’t deny that she’s determined, smart, good with numbers…and nearly impossible to resist. Can he mix business with pleasure without losing everything he’s worked for?
