Sydney Jordan is at the prime of her working age yet she is barely groping the whole world in her hands. Stuck with her family in the suburban area of Washington even after finishing college, she wants to live the life she dreams. She wants to be free and independent. She wants to explore the world in her own pace, without her nosy family egging on her every decision.
After convincing her parents that she will pursue her lifelong dream of becoming part of the Atkins Medical Institute, she finally starts a new chapter in her life, letting go of the past.
Adapting in a fast-paced environment, what she thought was the life she had wanted since her childhood; she now begins to realize she isn’t actually living her dream. Not until her not-so-memorable encounter with the hot and handsome resident architect of Atkins Medical Institute, David Bryce.
Will she still choose her career over love this time or will she actually realize that there is more to life than any immaterial possessions?

Tempting the Tycoon
Meet Sydney Hughes. Even though she's a knockout, she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since college. She's been too busy tending bar at her dad's neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her dad with the business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend. Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO the Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd on to the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which aren't doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip's lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel bar's revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother. The first time Alexios enters Jimmy's Bar it's so crowded he can barely get inside. It obviously has something he hasn't thought of for his casino lounge. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney's ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn't hurt that he's drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back. Now that Sydney works for Alexios, she's even more the ice queen where he's concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways and winning Sydney's trust? Or will this be his last call?Complete
