Synopsis

It was the stuff rom-coms are made of—meet a girl in an airport bar.

Buy her a drink.

Get her number.

Then I smudged it. Literally.

A year later, I’m still kicking myself for letting her get away. But I have bigger things to worry about. Like running my family’s 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 I’ve tasted her lips.

The pull between us is just as strong as it was a year ago. But thanks to the company’s 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 isn’t as secret as we think.

Forcing us to choose—our hearts or our careers.

Excerpt

Gus laughs, nudging me with his shoulder. “You really love this stuff, don’t you?”

“I do.” I nudge him back. “It’s fun. And being a part of Hayes, where there is such a rich history, paired with a whole future full of new ideas, it’s an IP nerd’s wet dream.”

I stop, realizing what I said only after the words tumble out of my mouth. Well, that was inappropriate.

“You’re mine,” Gus mutters. It’s 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 can’t, 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 can’t happen.

Kissing Gus Hayes.

“I really want to kiss you right now,” Gus says. His voice is rough, like it’s full of gravel, sending a zing through me like I’ve never felt before.

Holy shit…

“That makes two of us,” I whisper.

“But it would be unprofessional.”

“Yes.”

“Exceptionally unprofessional.”

“Agreed.”

“And absolutely violate company policy."

“Mm-hmm.”

“And probably be considered by many, myself notwithstanding given a different situation, to be taking advantage of you…”

I nod. Not really sure which one of us he’s trying to convince here—him or me.

“Probably.”

“Right,” he clips, his voice curt.

“Gus?”

“Yeah?”

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.

“You should do it anyway.”

A deep, guttural growled “fuck it” is the last thing I hear. Before I can think—hell, before I can blink—Gus’s 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.
