Crossing the line ... Alayna Jackson's dream is to be a lawyer -- and not even being the only African-American paralegal in a high-power, lily-white law firm will hold her down. Sure it's not the perfect job, but if it helps her reach her goal -- and gets her younger sister through college at the same time, Alayna will work for the devil himself -- namely Ben "Ice Man" Richards, the firm's arrogant, brilliant, insufferable, and unpredictable rising star.As long as Richards curbs his famous rudeness and treats her with respect, Alayna should be able to cope. But there's more to Ice Man than meets the eye, a fire smoldering beneath his hard, cool surface. And when personal disaster threatens, Alayna finds herself unlocking the doors of her private life to the last man she ever dreamed she'd let enter. And once inside, he may just alter Alayna's world and her outlook in glorious, frightening ways.… (plus d'informations)

I really enjoyed this book! It touched on family relationships, interracial dating, and children coping with Alzheimer's diease. Even though this was a romantic chick read it hit on some issues that are very revelant to women of color and women in general.

Alayna Jackson is a young, smart, African-American woman working as a paralegal at a cut throat predominately white law firm. Along with her job stress, Alayna has to issues at home with her teenage sister. Her sister has decided to abandon her future plans and move in an alternative direction. To add fuel to the growing fires Alayna's Boss Man has decided to pair her with Ben Richards, Ice Man, the meanest attorney at the firm.

This story has so many twists at the beginning that I could not put it down. Richards, held on to deep secret to the very end. Alayna mirrors so many young up coming professionals today in the African-American community. This was a fiction novel full of realities. The ending was great! ( )
