Prodigal Son by Susan Mallory
Silhouette Special Edition # 1729 - January 2006
Family Business - Book # 1
Jack had had bitter words with his father when he refused to be a part of Hanson Media and pursued the law instead. When his father dies, Jack is needed to step in to see if the company can be turned around from it's downward spiral. One area of media that Hanson's had avoided was the internet, so Jack hires his old college friend Samantha giving her complete creative control. Jack has always been attracted to Sam, but years ago he'd thought she didn't return that feeling. Now working closely together, they enjoy getting to know one another again, and a no-strings-affair works for both. When Sam confides in Jack about her past disastrous marriage, she's hurt to find Jack not as understanding as she expected, so she backs away from their affair. But when the company's new web empire is sabotaged and hijacked, Sam and Jack have to work hard together to find the truth, before it brings the whole company to ruin.
There really isn't anything remarkable about this story. Jack and Sam's romance does develop with only a few rocky spots. Sam's past is really the only conflict in their way. None the less, this was well written and very enjoyable. And it set the stage nicely for the books that follow.
