Lush Life

Eve Franklin has been expecting to take over her family's software company since her adolescence. She's sharp, independent, and dedicated to the Franklin legacy. Now that her father's health is failing, she's poised to step into the CEO position she's been preparing for...until her expectations are dashed. Her father doesn't think she's ready despite all her preparations-and even worse, he has an outsider in mind to take the job.

Handsome, rich, and talented, Darius Winstead is living his best life. The tech wizard's main invention has retired him at the young age of thirty six, and his time is his own. A good portion of that time goes to his gig as bass player in the Charlotte, NC based jazz quartet, the Queen City Gents. But when he's called back into the tech game by his former mentor, he can't turn the offer down.

The cocky tech developer and the headstrong junior exec immediately bump heads. But the attraction brewing between them is just as intense as the tension. Can the bass man win the heart of this sophisticated lady, without Franklin Technologies' business hitting a sour note?
