Living the life of a rich socialite was never in Mia’s plans, much to the chagrin of her wealthy parents. She’s made her own way, studying computer science at Brown and snagging a coveted position with Danvers International after graduation. Her plan to avoid parental involvement seems to be going well until her mother buys her a date at a charity auction—with the hot resort owner who she’s been eyeing on her latest work project.
Seth never mixes business with pleasure, but something about Mia drives him to distraction. Giving into his desires for just one night will hopefully clear his head enough to keep his hands off her during office hours.
But when one mind-blowing night turns into weeks of flirtation, frustration, and companionship, Mia realizes that their workplace fling may be developing into more—and that Seth might be the perfect man she’s been waiting for

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Sydney Landon turns up the heat between socialite Mia Gentry and resort owner Seth Jackson in her Betting on You novella. Mia works a dream job at Danvers International in a career that her parents never envisioned for her, and is thrown together for a work assignment with Seth. Their sizzling attraction is undeniable, but neither wants to mix business with pleasure. When Mia’s mother buys Seth as her date they share a hot night together, but agree to put their relationship on hold until the end of the project.
Sydney Landon does a good job of making Mia and Seth’s story sexy, and the attraction between the two is undeniable as they spend time together working on a remodel. The author does a good job focusing on the flirtation and their relationship as opposed to just having them jump into bed with each other right away. Mia maintains her femininity and thrives in a job that is traditionally geared for men, and makes no apologies for wanting her own career despite what her parents think. Seth is a take charge CEO who finds himself following the one girl that may not want to be under his control, and their pathway to a relationship is interesting to read. Betting on You provides a great read for an afternoon, and is a great continuation of the Danvers series.
