Sleight of Hand by Ainsley St. Claire
4.0
Synopsis:
Tinsley is at a bar with her friend to celebrate the sale of her company – Translations – to Disruptive Technologies. It is at the bar where she meets Peter Landon and where they have a hot sexy session, without being any the wiser who the other really is.
But, come the next morning, and Landon is the man Tinsley is bound by a contract to work with for the next ten years!
Review:
Diving straightway into action, Sleight of Hand tells the story of Landon and Tinsley. I like my heroines brainy and this one had a Stanford degree in electrical engineering and software development. But, she still failed to research the company properly to which she sold hers. Particularly that handsome guy who could get her into trouble. Also, seeing that Claire, Landon’s sister, was at the forefront of all the negotiations.
Peter Landon Walsh the Third is a manwhore, something which his younger sister can attest to. It is further proved when he shamelessly flirts with another woman in front of Claire and Tinsley. Also, Landon offered work with benefits to Tinsley Pratt. Thirty-one to her twenty-five, they make a deal to become work friends, before jumping into intimacy or a relationship again.

Here it is a rogue employee, possibly, set to sabotage their work. Add to that a slow burn romance with teasing, flirty sexting. There is a paternity claim and also a few months of ugly/sad separation. From a business flick, it spiralled out into a family drama, with fun moments including sibling quarrels. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments.
This one starts from where the last book – [b:Royally Flushed|51474596|Royally Flushed (Tech Billionaires #2)|Ainsley St Claire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582086419l/51474596._SY75_.jpg|76139999] – left off, at the poker tournament.
