Jesse Kasen has been working for years to turn Kasen’s Kustom Automotive into a force to be reckoned with. The show Revved Up was the first step in making them a national sensation. Classic car owners from all over the world are now flocking to their garage to have them work their magic in customizing those beauties. It took some strong-arming to get his cousin and business partner, Dean, on board, but Jesse is pretty damn proud of what they’ve accomplished.
The only fly in his ointment is Lola Adams, the new executive producer the network has foisted off on them. The little Georgia peach is a blonde bombshell that has “high maintenance” written all over her. From the look of her, she slept her way into this job, and he has no time to babysit someone who doesn’t know one end of a wrench from the other. She’s a distraction he doesn’t need, and it’s a damn shame that all he can think about when she’s around is what she’d look like all tangled up in his sheets.
Lola might use her sexuality to get what she wants, but if she has to have men falling at her feet and drooling all over her shoes, she might as well get something out of it, right? But don’t let her girlie clothes and slow southern drawl fool you, she’s as savvy as they come, and she convinced the network to get her hands on Revved Up because her uncle used to race in NASCAR and taught her everything there was to know about cars. She has the experience to work with the Kasen cousins, but they assume her sexy exterior covers an empty interior. She should be used to it, but with Jesse, it gets to her in a way it hasn’t in years. Damn him, and damn her attraction for him.
Jesse sees only one solution to their problem–burn off this frustrating attraction in the sack and get on with business. Lola agrees because she has to know what it’s like to touch him, just once, but she wants it discreet. The last thing she needs is for the guys in the garage to leer at her any more than they already do. Jesse suggests meeting at his cabin in the mountains and making good use of a long weekend off. He’s going to pull out all the stops, and bring every naughty toy in his arsenal, to really make the most of the experience.
Only problem is, when all’s said and done, they find out they have a lot more in common than just scorching chemistry, and they actually like each other. Maybe even more than just like. Jesse doesn’t want to give Lola up, but a lifetime of fighting to be taken seriously leaves her leery of agreeing to an open, permanent relationship with someone on a show she produces. Hell, until a few days before, Jesse didn’t take her seriously. He has his work cut out for him if he’s going to convince her what they have is too good to walk away from, because now that he’s had her, he can’t imagine a life without her.
