Synopsis
It was the stuff rom-coms are made ofβmeet a girl in an airport bar.
Buy her a drink.
Get her number.
Then I smudged it. Literally.
A year later, Iβm still kicking myself for letting her get away. But I have bigger things to worry about. Like running my familyβs Fortune 500 company.
Until she shows up in my small town.
As my newest employee.
The spark is back in an instant.
And our plan to just be friends? Forget about it.
Especially once Iβve tasted her lips.
The pull between us is just as strong as it was a year ago. But thanks to the companyβs no-fraternization policy, sneaking around only makes things hotter between us.
Margeaux is as focused and driven as I am, with goals and plans of her own.
I refuse to stand in the way.
But now all of that is on the line.
Turns out, our relationship isnβt as secret as we think.
Forcing us to chooseβour hearts or our careers.
Add to your TBR List!
Excerpt
Gus laughs, nudging me with his shoulder. βYou really love this stuff, donβt you?β
βI do.β I nudge him back. βItβs fun. And being a part of Hayes, where there is such a rich history, paired with a whole future full of new ideas, itβs an IP nerdβs wet dream.β
I stop, realizing what I said only after the words tumble out of my mouth. Well, that was inappropriate.
βYouβre mine,β Gus mutters. Itβs barely audible, but I hear it.
That was also inappropriate. But I liked it. A lot.
We both freeze, the tension of the moment building with each breath. My heart rate slows, each beat heavier than the last, waiting for him to say something. Do something. Anything.
I want to move but canβt, my whole body frozen. Nothing but a thundering pulse and mind that can only think of one thing. And that one thing is something that canβt happen.
Kissing Gus Hayes.
βI really want to kiss you right now,β Gus says. His voice is rough, like itβs full of gravel, sending a zing through me like Iβve never felt before.
Holy shitβ¦
βThat makes two of us,β I whisper.
βBut it would be unprofessional.β
βYes.β
βExceptionally unprofessional.β
βAgreed.β
βAnd absolutely violate company policy."
βMm-hmm.β
βAnd probably be considered by many, myself notwithstanding given a different situation, to be taking advantage of youβ¦β
I nod. Not really sure which one of us heβs trying to convince hereβhim or me.
βProbably.β
βRight,β he clips, his voice curt.
βGus?β
βYeah?β
He looks over at me, our eyes locking. And I can see it in there. Those deep, all-telling irises show me everything I need to know.
βYou should do it anyway.β
A deep, guttural growled βfuck itβ is the last thing I hear. Before I can thinkβhell, before I can blinkβGusβs mouth is on mine, our lips pressed together in a kiss that is borderline feral. The combination of soft and strong has me melting into him, my fingers wrapping around his bicep trying to hold on.
Because I want more.
So, so much more.
