About Deep Pockets
We met both Lance and Morgan in the Kings of the Boardroom series last year. These two are like oil and water whenever they are in the same room. And this series starts with the same bickering between these two.
Lance wants to protect Morgan. He is always there for her. She thinks it is because he is in love with Gwen. But he has his own reasons.
Lance has a secret past. Atticus knows about it, but he is the only one who knows, as far as Lance knows. So when his past comes knocking on his door in the middle of the night, his first thought is to protect Morgan, even if that means breaking her heart in the process.
Morgan has dreamed of creating her own sustainable fashion line. But when her father exerts his control, she loses everything she has worked for. Instead of calling Gwen or Atticus, or even Lance, for help, she moves in to the home that is being remodeled and not fit for living in. Little does she know that someone has a tracker on her and knows where she is.
Lance exerts his control over her, much to her chagrin, and insists she moves in to his apartment. He sets her up with an internship that will help her pay her bills. And is basically just trying to help her while protecting her.
Sadly, Morgan does not have friends. She is so focused on her fashion line that she has no friends. So when a new woman joins the co-op where she works on her line, they become instant friends. But what is Amber’s story? We know nothing about this woman, but my gut tells me there is something off with her.
After a drunken night of payback, Morgan makes it home to Lance waiting for her. She is late and did not check in with him so he is worried. More like scared that his past is now touching her.
Lance is trying so hard to keep his distance in order to protect her. But it is not working. He decides that it is better to keep her close in order to protect her.
These two are a hand grenade waiting to explode. Both physically and temperamentally. There are so many secrets that will start to see the light of day. Their lives will start to unravel. Will they be able to salvage a friendship, let alone a relationship? Or will it be a lost cause? Will his past rear its ugly head and catch Morgan in the spiderweb of their lives or will Lance be able to cut the head off of the snake? Sadly, we will have to wait until the next book to find out more.
Impressions
I have to admit I love seeing these two in the good times. The driving lesson was pure entertainment. Their date was spectacular. Any girl would dream of an adventure like that. But these two are at each other’s throats more than they embark on adventures.
I love seeing Atticus tracking Morgan down to play big brother. I like that he listened to her and offered some sound advice.

About Nana Malone
Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling author, Nana Malone writes Sexy Feel-Good Romance and loves all things romance and adventure.
That love started with a tattered romantic suspense she “borrowed” from her cousin. It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen year old. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.
