Original Sins

Love or career? Three years ago, Samantha Banks made that choice. Now she's on track for a partnership at the law firm, but has no time for romance, or much else for that matter. Her mother and friends play match maker to no avail - Sam simply can't muster the interest. Second chance or irredeemable mistake? Jackson Hendricks had pressed Sam to leave Washington, DC for California. They had had something special, misbehaving together while travelling the world. In Argentina, Sam and Jax learned the tango, a highly stylized dance that rewards subtle communication and trust between partners, but punishes less attuned couples. They mastered the dance, confident in their bond. When they split, all that changed. Now Jax wonders what could have been had he stayed for the fiery redhead with icy blue eyes. A chance encounter opens a door they had both thought forever closed. The attraction is immediately re-kindled, the lovers' passion more intense after mourning it as lost. But Sam puts Jax on probation before she falls too hard - her reawakened emotions might not survive another split. The two circle around forgiveness, rediscovering the easy familiarity of their past. Sam's career is at risk due to the lecherous advances of the firm's senior partner, Carlton Lambourne and her life is at risk from a deranged stalker who pursues her. They dance a dangerous tango around the sins of lust, jealousy, pride, and anger. She and Jax need a second chance, a chance to have it all, a partnership, a partner, and enduring love.
