No way is clothing buyer Tess Romero going to let her arrogant co-worker Logan Wilde snatch a major Argentinian account from under her nose! Determined to prove herself to Logan and their macho boss, she sets out with Logan for remote Patagonia to close the deal. The last thing she expects is a shipboard romance fueled by steamy days and starry nights. Swept up in passion, it’s all too easy for Tess and Logan to forget about the cut-throat business world that awaits—a world where only one of them can survive…
Ms. Rios speaks about CONQUEST:
"This shipboard romance between dueling business partners will appeal to anyone who has ever wondered what it’s like to fall in love with the wrong person. In today’s busy world where we often spend more time at work than at home, we sometimes find love where we least expect it. In Conquest, Logan and Tess embrace the excitement and fear of first love, as they risk their hearts and their careers for each other. I’ve used the glamorous setting of a cruise ship together with an exotic trip to the Patagonia as the backdrop for this story. Combined with the battle between the two strong-willed dynamic characters, I hope to give my readers a fast paced, exciting read. I've tried to bring in some humor as well as deeper emotions to produce a satisfying story."
