What happens when the rules we create for ourselves end up being the ones we most want to break? Between flying tequila bottles and auctioning off body shots, Allie McAllister knows how to work a crowd. When she isn't mixing drinks at The Guild, she devotes her spare time to teaching aspiring authorsnamely, male authorshow to make women melt with nothing more than a pen and paper. The Mistress of Seduction has only three rules for her students: 1) Six months is the limit; 2) When she speaks, they listen; 3) Never, under any circumstances, are her students allowed to fall in love with her. Her newest student has a lot to learn when it comes to putting his passion to paper, but there's nothing Allie craves more than a challenge. Criminal defense attorney Adam Carlton is well aware he doesn't have a creative bone in his body. Just the same, after taking a body shot off the most beautiful spitfire he's ever seen, he has to see Allie again. But how? Then it hits him. He'll write a book.
