Eugene Parsons is the uptight and stern supervisor of the teams working on getting America to Space and the moon. We met him in the first book but in Earth Bound we finally get to see someone get under his skin.

Charlie Eason is stunningly beautiful AND brilliant, the best engineer Parsons has ever seen. But she also could be a huge distraction, but Parsons is determined to remain nothing but professional. Charlie is also not looking for any distractions or any hint of controversy. It is hard enough for her to be a woman in this field, let alone to let an office scandal rock her career.

But, what if they simply explored their attraction OUTSIDE of work in hotel room, once a week? Just a simple sex pact, no feelings involved.

And so it goes for many months before Parsons unrecognized feelings begin to seep into his work, and cause him to make decisions to save Charlie's job without thinking of the consequences.

Utterly delicious, especially if you enjoy stories with buttoned up, starchy love interests who finally discover they have a heart. Loved it!
