  Peter Reynolds is one of the best computer experts in the business, known for his talent for fixing bugs and creating exciting video games. What people don't know though is that Lucy Grainger is his life saver. She's his assistant and there is no one better at keeping Peter on track.
  Another thing people don't know, Peter himself included in that category, is that Lucy is madly in love with him, though she knows they can never be together. He's a playboy, terrified of commitment and Lucy is a marriage and babies kind of woman.
  
  Then one night at a charity gala, a blackout traps Lucy and Peter in an elevator. For one night, Lucy can have all she's ever desired... and that changes everything.
  
  Heidi Betts sure knows how to pack the sexual tension into her stories! Blame It on the Blackout was hot enough to singe fingers. Yet she also blends in just enough humor to keep the tension from becoming overwhelming and lighten things up a bit.
  
  Lucy is absolutely crazy about Peter, but afraid that if he knew how she felt, their easy working relationship would be ruined. She has spirit though and isn’t afraid to let it out when necessary. She also is enough of a nurturer that all she wants is to make peter’s life easier. Peter is so oblivious to Lucy that he’s adorable. Since he is already easily distracted with whatever current project has his attention that it takes a while for him to realize what he has in Lucy.
  
  Granted, there were a few times I wanted to tell both Lucy and Peter to wake up and pay attention to each other’s behavior, but this added enough to the story to provide suitable conflict. They did have their reasons for hiding their feeling and if they’d spilled everything to each other, but the story wouldn’t have been the same if they had. That refusal to expose their feelings also sure helped to set up some amusing scenes here and there.
