About Just A Little Desire
Years ago, Liam was engaged and she broke his heart. He decided then to never love another woman. Never have feelings. If you do, you just get your heart broken. He has held on to that for five long years. Since leaving Wall Street, and going into business with his brother, Simon, as Angel investors, his lifestyle has changed. He no longer works the super long hours as he did on Wall Street. But he has not changed his mind about falling love.
Morgan lost her mother at a young age. Her father fell in love with Faith and married her. In turn, Morgan gained a brother, Parker. Her father started a tech company, GalvaTech, and it has always been family owned and run. She always knew she would work for the company. When she went to college, she majored in Marketing. She also met someone while at college, who ended up breaking her heart. She thought they were building a relationship, but he was only interested in hooking up when he felt the need. She doubts her self worth and no longer trusts men.
Liam escapes his brother, Noah’s, wedding reception. Because of his past, he is just done and needs to leave. He walks to a bar where he can have a drink where no one knows him. He never expects to meet a woman who will turn his world upside down and inside out.
When her sister in laws card is declined, Morgan makes her way to the bar to pay the tab. But the gentleman sitting next to her felt bad and covered the bill for the group. They start talking and he buys her a drink. Next thing we know, they are leaving the bar together. One night. First names only. The best night of her life.
Liam has never forgotten Morgan since their one night together, but he never thought he would see her again. Until one fateful day.
Liam and Simon are working out the final contract with Samuel, the owner of GalvaTech. When he sees a woman approaching, he is shocked to see who it is. But Morgan is even more shocked. Especially when she learns the terms of the contract and that Liam will be onsite through the launch of their huge new product.
Morgan does not want anyone to know about their one night stand. She is uber professional with Liam at the office. But one night out with her best friend will change things between her and Liam.
Stolen moments are coveted. Because of their working relationship, they cannot afford to let anyone know they are seeing each other. It makes things tricky, but they both are trying to build something important.
But when Simon finds some questionable information and shows it to Liam, they decide not to say anything until they have more information. Will this “lie of omission” cost him everything he has ever wanted? Will Morgan understand why he did what he did?
Impressions
Since both Liam and Morgan have baggage regarding relationships, it was nice to see them try to take things slow. Their bodies are on board, but their hearts are still mending and they need time to get to know each other.
Liam is scared that he will repeat the mistakes he made in the past. This is totally understandable. But I love that Morgan overhears his phone conversation and reassures him that he is not making the same mistakes. These two are really trying to communicate and make things work.
I respect that Morgan was upset with Liam about the news he dropped on her and how long he had suspected something. But when she decided she needed to find out the truth, and was sadly disappointed, my respect increased tenfold. She confronted the problem. Then she confronted the bearer of bad news and told him everything.
Morgan is a strong woman who can make her own decisions. She is a very capable businesswoman and does not shy away from professional challenges. She is organized and prepared and ready to roll. She wants answers to questions and solutions to problems and she will take the bull by the horn to get things done.
