Plot Summary of Flash
" When Rollie Chantry dies, he leaves 51 percent of his company, Glow, Inc., to venture capitalist Jasper Sloan. Jasper is eager to switch careers and take over the company, but he must first gain the cooperation of the other owner, Rollie's neice, Olivia Chantry.
Glow, Inc. is thought of as a family business among the Chantrys and Olivia feels that it is her duty to insure that her family and Glow's employees are not hurt by the new change in management.
Sparks fly between Olivia and Jasper immediately, but both have been burned by past relationships and are weary of their romantic capibilities. But when they are both blackmailed, and when that blackmail becomes tied into a murder, Olivia and Jasper are forced to become personal with one another, whether they like it or not."

Jess, Resident Scholar
