This is the third book in Ms. Quinn's series.  It's about Cory and Victoria.  Cory is a workaholic who never sleeps or takes any time for himself.  His parents are retiring from the family business and basically give him an ultimatum that if he doesn't take time for himself and enjoy life and find himself a girlfriend, they would no longer allow him to be CEO of the company.  He's hired his longtime friend/enemy Victoria to help with the magazine his company is starting.  He knows she's good at her job, but the two of them fight like cats and dogs.  He even thinks she may hate him.  Victoria has had a crush on Cory since ninth grade, but she doesn't think he'll ever feel the same and by the way they fight, she assumes he hates her.  One night after a big town gala, Victoria is out back in a gazebo on the phone crying when Cory overhears.  When he approaches, he realizes she beautiful - it's like he's seeing her for the first time.  Heated words are exchanged between them and then the two share an extremely heated kiss, along with some heavy groping.  The next day, pictures of them in the gazebo are in the local paper.  Cory sees this as his opportunity to make his parents think he's dating someone and approaches Victoria with the proposition for her to pretend to be his girlfriend for a couple of weeks until his parents move for their retirement.  Besides, he figures it will help with her reputation too if the town believes they are dating.  These two might fight, but they have strong chemistry together and agree to sexual encounters as part of their dating.  Problem is they both develop strong feelings for the other and neither thinks the other feels the same. Will they be able to finally admit to the other how they feel, or lose what is obviously a wonderful relationship?My only complaint with this book was the self doubt each character had.  Both of them fought this relationship tooth and nail, and although it paid off at the end of the book, it pushed my patience a little bit to get there.  Their lack of honesty and communication was each other was tiring, especially when it was so obvious how they felt.  But it worked out in the end.This story is told by both POVs and gives you a sweet happy ending.
