Publisher's Synopsis
Danger and romance were definitely not on the handsome Sr. Director's itinerary for his business trip to Australia. Billy Ridley worked too hard and traveled too much to have more than an occasional girlfriend back at Lancing Biotech in New Jersey. He was feeling uncomfortable about the meetings at the Paradigm Foundation in Sydney. They were responsible for over half the investment in research at his company, but were also supporting Lancing Biotech's ruthless competitor in the high flying hormone replacement field. Billy knew he somehow had to bring up the rumors of fraud, illegal chemicals and misappropriation of funds, but Mac, the Managing Director of Paradigm, was a good friend. Their meeting in King's Cross, the nightlife center of Sydney, was made even more uncomfortable when a beautiful, but frightened woman called out his name and a warning, then collapsed in his arms just outside the Jabiru Club. How did she know him? And what had happened to her? Something she mentioned about Cantor Pharmaceuticals, their HRT challenger, sent him into protective mode. There had already been a lab explosion, threats to his colleagues and too many deaths at Lancing Bio. It became Billy's job and pleasure to protect the gorgeous but vulnerable Haley, an innocent victim of the treachery in his business world. Hiding her back in America in his plush bay side New York town home only brought the dangers closer to both of them as the FBI began to follow a trail of deceit and destruction.
