Conflict of Interest is a fun, sweet, and sexy romance. It’s the first in author Katie Bachand’s four-part Taking Chances series.

Luke Wallace has a knack for planning and strategy. It’s why his father, owner of the Wallace Corporation, has allowed him to come work for the family business. Their reputation of acquiring smaller, very successful businesses precedes them, and now they’ve set their sights on the number one accounting firm that serves small to medium-sized clients, Thomas and Jane LLC.

This time around, Luke has a plan to move in a slightly different direction, but it’s going to take time before he can convince his dad it’s the right move for Wallace Corp. The plan includes meeting the interim CEO and President of Thomas and Jane, Grace Thomas.

As far as plans go, it seems as good as any. So, with the help of his buddy, Travis Mavens, everything is set in motion. As he’s always done, Luke leaves a little room for the unexpected, but when he’s finally ready to execute a little fate steps in.

On a beautiful Fall night, Luke finds himself colliding with Grace outside of a pretty little brownstone in downtown Minneapolis, and the unexpected happens – he falls head over heels in love.

Now, hearing rumors that the Wallace Corporation is looking to take over her prized possession, she prepares to fight. But what she doesn’t prepare for is Luke Wallace

Grace, the level-headed businesswoman, finds herself quickly navigating the early stages of love. In doing so, she turns to her friends Aimeé, Casey, and Rachel for advice. It seems she, and they, feel Luke is perfect for her. But, there’s one thing her handsome new lover isn’t telling her.

When Grace finds out who Luke really is, will the love they found be enough to save them?
