The Fedosov family was all business until Julia Thompson came along.

After they met in a nightclub in America and shared a passionate kiss, Julia was the last person Demitry Fedosov expected to see in his boardroom back in Russia - especially after she turned down his advances.

Julia had never been one to let others push her around. She didn't need the complication of a relationship with Demitry, now or in the future. After being sent to Russia on an exchange trip, she was his employee, and he was her boss. End of story. Yet she can't stop thinking about his deep-gray eyes and the way his six foot, six inch figure dwarfs her. She feels such an attraction to him, but she knows she must fight it.

Demitry is business orientated, reserved, always following in his father's footsteps and way too serious most of the time. He is not used to having women in his business world unless they are secretaries. Julia has made it clear she doesn't want a relationship with Demitry, but he can't hold back the feelings he gets when she is around. She was so different from Russian women, and winning her over is turning out to be more challenging than any business deal.

The American woman pushes all his buttons. And when his brother, Alexey, starts to flirt with her, Demitry feels an overwhelming urge to stake his claim.
