Sugar and spice makes everything nice, but mixing business and pleasure can come with a price . . .
Francis Stevens Frankie to her friends has declared herself permanently single after a couple of monumentally disastrous relationships. And she doesn't mind at all. Between the international expansion of the lingerie catalog company she runs with her friends, labor strikes, and her regular work load, she has little time for love or a relationship.
But Royce Weston has other ideas. After his family accuses him of becoming a workaholic, a chance encounter with Frankie at a night club has his mind on things other than business. As luck would have it, Royce winds up the executive assigned to work with Frankie and her lingerie company when she partners with his family's investment firm to fund her expansion.
Despite Frankie's outward appearance of confidence and swagger, insecurities rear up and cause her to over compensate and drive harder for what she wants. Doubts weigh her down and with Royce watching her every move, she fights to keep her businesswoman's façade firmly in place. But while Frankie tries her best to keep her mind on business, she can't ignore the way Royce's touch makes her feel or the fact that he makes it clear he's interested in more than just a business relationship. When all of her defense mechanisms fail to keep him at arm's length, Frankie finds herself wondering: is it possible to mix business and pleasure?
