title: The Business of Love (Indigo: Sensuous Love Stories)
author:  Cheris F. Hodges 
description: Jill Atkinson has it all: a successful business, good friends and the respect of the Atlanta corporate community. But when the lights go down at night, all she has is loneliness. Jill hasn?t allowed a man to get close to her since her last relationship ended in betrayal. As the New Year dawns, Jill arrives home to find a fire ripping through her high rise. Grabbing her laptop and racing down the stairs, she runs right into the arms of firefighter Darren Alexander. Darren has had his fill of lying women. His ex-wife lied about her fidelity, but in spite of his distrust of women there is something about Jill that appeals to him. Jill wants to love Darren, but her past stands between them. When the truth comes out, she may lose everything they have built together.
