This short story didn't feel short, the author was able to stretch the journey of Stephanie and Damian into a sweet and sexy romance that made the reader feel like these two had known each other forever.Stephanie is a single woman living in Flint Michigan, who has closed herself off from dating, she feels like she's the kryptonite of relationships, as Stephanie is afraid of being hurt, so she continues to leave any relationship, to save herself from the risk of being rejected.Stephanie works for a tech company as a graphic designer, her boss sends her to San Francisco to a conference, once she gets there she feels a bit like Alice in Wonderland, she felt out of her element and naive, standing in a conference hall surrounded by men, but one man catches her eye as he walks past her and from there the story really begins.This is also where we're introduced to Damien Balloch of the Silicon Valley, self made millionare as a technology guru, he's there to make a presentation, and the man that has captured Stephanie's attention, and she's caught his too.From there we have two people connected by the power of a glance and a chance meeting that is both real, but lushly erotic, and while it might be hard to believe how quickly these two fall for each other, you can't help but want both of them to have their Happily ever after.Damien isn't looking for a fling, how refreshing to have a romantic lead who isn't a redeemed player, and while this story is told through Stephanie's eyes, it doesn't detract from the story.For 99 cents you won't regret picking this up.
