Heated Rivalry

"Charismatic former NBA star Steven Crennell joins a Miami ad agency and finds himself facing off against the owner's determined daughter in this sexy contemporary romance. Valerie Parker resents having to compete with newcomer Steve for accounts, especially when her father, Garry, gives Steve a client that Valerie brought in. The rivalry heats up as Garry continues to value Steve's household name status over Valerie's hard work. Valerie can't deny her attraction to Steve, but how can she trust him when he won't take tough stands against predatory women (including his gold-digging ex-fiance) or Garry's unfairness? As Valerie and Steve slowly discover their own moral and emotional strengths, Sargeant (You Belong to Me) turns this slightly Freudian tangle into an absorbing if lightweight emotional journey with broad appeal."
