Andrew Collins. CEO of Collins' Holdings Inc.

He has everything a millionaire could want. Well, everything except a girl.

So, when Alyssa Lopez walks into his office – sassy, sarcastic and with an answer for everything – he is shocked that she is only there for the money and not to sleep with him.

Andrew has never been one to take rejection well. So he will be dammed if he accepts it now.

Please take the time to check out my new book and let me know what you think. It's called Mr Hot Shot and is a romance involving a CEO, but it's very different from the way this story plays out:

"Scarlett." Hayden placed himself on the seat beside me at the bar, removing the glass from my hand and placing a cautious hand on my shoulder, turning me to look at him. "I know you're hurting right now, and I am sure nothing I say will make you feel any better, but drinking certainly isn't going to make things any better."

"Gracie-" I could only get her name out before I felt the tears staining my cheeks and the pain ripping through my entire body.

"I know. I know." Hayden didn't even spare a thought as he took me into his arms. He pulled me into his chest, hiding my face from prying eyes, and ran his hands up my back reassuringly. "Rest assured, we will get your daughter back from that animal. If it's the last thing I do."

In that moment, I knew that I had broken my vow. I knew that I was falling in love with Hayden Peck, and that's if I wasn't already in love with him.

***

Hayden Peck. Cold, ruthless and without time for romance. Or, so he thinks.

Scarlett Johnson. Broken, tired, and unwilling to give romance another shot. Or, so she thinks.

It's going to be a roller coaster ride for the both of them.
