Jayne Ann Krentz has delivered pure entertainment in twenty-three New York Times bestsellers， including her recent smash hit， Sharp Edges. Now， her unique brand of electrifying suspense and head-over-heels romance lights up this sizzling thriller -- and sparks a curious chemistry between a self-made millionaire and a charmingly disorganized entrepreneur. They team up to corner a killer -- and find their unruly partnership has the power to set the night on fire.... Olivia Chantry may keep her desk in disarray， but she s a dynamo when it comes to business: her Seattle-based company， Light Fantastic， organizes dazzling events that create the flash her clients need to promote their products or their causes. Her marvelous success has almost made up for a marriage that ended in disaster and left her wedded to a career instead of a mate. She certainly has enough on her well-sculpted shoulders when she inherits a portion -- 49 percent， to be precise -- of Glow， Inc.， her uncle s high-tech lighting firm. But it s the interloper who bagged the other 51 percent with whom Olivia has butted heads: Jasper Sloan， a venture capitalist and dealmaker known as a man with all his ducks in a row， and his neat， orderly life under control. From the start of their feisty business dealings， the so-called partners nearly crash and burn: they are suspicious of each other s motives. They disagree about management style. They argue about Glow s policy of employing members of the Chantry family， from Olivia s cousin Bolivar to her Aunt Zara， the ex-soap star. But the snap， crackle and pop of their sexual energy can not be denied. Now， their steamy joint venture is headed unmistakably in one direction: trouble. As Olivia and Sloan soon discover， a blackmailer is hard at work inside Glow， Inc.， uncovering secrets that they both had reason to hide -- and that may come back to haunt them. Suddenly their new relationship faces the acid test of truth...and a need for absolute trust. They might fight each other all the way， but when extortion turns to murder， a union of their minds -- and hearts -- might be their only chance to stay alive. Sparkling with Jayne Ann Krentz s irresistible blend of sassy wit and sheer suspense， Flash explodes into passionate pyrotechnics as a beautifully mismatched pair finds the bottom line isn t making it in the marketplace -- it s the merger of hearts.
