She's got issues with the Christmas issue B.J. Carlyle -- editor of Alpha, the ultimate men's magazine -- grew up amid hot tubs and hot women at the infamous mansion of her father, L.T. Carlyle, the magazine's publisher. Now she's out to prove to L.T. that she's got what it takes to become editor-in-chief -- even if it means swallowing her pride and getting Buck Bravo for December's cover story. Landing the bestselling author, adventurer and man-of-the-hour is a coup; the competition would kill to get the exclusive. But she and Buck were in love once, and it ended badly. They haven't seen each other since -- except for a recent one-night stand. Now Buck's insisting B.J. spend the next two weeks with him in the Sierra Mountains and write the story herself. B.J. agrees, but she's not going to tell Buck she suspects she's pregnant with his baby. B.J.'s out to get the story. She doesn't need Buck thinking she's out to get her man.
