Oposites Attract

Pairing Nefertiti Kincaid (called Never by everyone) with Averal Ballantine is like pouring gasoline on a raging fire.  Fiercely loyal Information Technology Director, Never, is an explosion waiting to happen.  Since her company merged with a larger pharmaceutical magnate, shes watched her friends and colleagues lose their jobs.  Now its her turn.  Her department has come under the scrutiny of management consultant, Averal Ballantine. . . Immediately attracted to the director, Averal finds it difficult to maintain a business relationship and even more difficult to keep his vow of steering clear of women who cherish hearth and home.  Coming from a home that broke under the strain of his brothers death from sickle cell anemia, Averal feels the trait he carries will prevent him from ever having a family of his own. . . Yet the sizzle between them is apparent in the boardroom and the bedroom.
