Book 1 of the Blackstone Inc Series • • • "Well," he paused, and I was suddenly captivated by his tongue coming out to wet his bottom lip before he continued, "I'm Dominic Blackstone, but you can call me Dom or Sir." • • • Dominic Blackstone is the 35-year-old CEO of Blackstone Incorporated, a man who reigns over Dallas from the top floor of his sleek, twenty-five-story high-rise. Powerful, magnetic, and utterly in control, he's the kind of man who commands attention the moment he enters a room. With chiseled good looks, a voice that drips authority, and the wealth to match his ambition, Dominic could have any woman he wanted, a force to be reckoned with. He's a textbook Type A: dominant, driven, and emotionally untouchable. His life is carefully curated, every detail refined, every move calculated. He doesn't make room for vulnerability. He doesn't fall. Until he meets her-and everything he thought he controlled begins to unravel in the most irresistible way. ----- Genevieve Carlyle is a 22-year-old woman from New Orleans with big dreams and a sharp mind to match. In her final year of college, she's determined to carve out a name for herself in the business world-usually so fierce, focused, and full of ambition. But when tragedy hits too close to home, everything changes. She walks away from the life she thought she was building and relocates to Dallas, searching for stability in the chaos. What she doesn't expect is to stay. But fate has other plans. A twist of circumstance lands her a job at Blackstone Incorporated-working directly under the enigmatic CEO himself, Dominic Blackstone. As his personal assistant, Genevieve quickly learns that ambition isn't the only thing she'll be navigating... especially with a boss who's equal parts maddening and magnetic. • • • Will Dominic and Genevieve be able to remain professional, or will passions fly? Will Dominic's past come to snatch Genevieve away? And if so, will she give in to temptation?

Highest rank: #5 Humor "THIS MEANS WAR ALEXA HARRISON!" "Oh I'd like to see you try Bad boy." Oh my goodness I honestly cannot be expected to describe EVERYTHING that happened in thirty nine seconds, since obviously that's roughly how long it'll take you to read all of this! Let's begin with a brief-ish introduction. Yeah, I can do that! I'm the badass. Dreaded by all the little beings around me. (Why? Because I'm freaking awesome!) That long list of people also happens to include the school bad boy. That dude's a softy when compared to me. That very soft, very large, very protective, bad boy just so happens to be my sort of best friend, sort of enemy, sort of everything else. Absolute softy I tell you! Gosh this introduction thing is definitely not what I signed up for! Anyways, So everything is sunshine-y in our little world until one day bad boy and I stumble upon something. Something precious, so very special that it couldn't have been with anybody else. Something beautiful really. Yes, that is correct, we discovered the power of REVENGE. It turned us into- WILD CREATURES. We took war seriously! If I flatten his tires, he sneaks into my house to freak me out. Hell we're immature. We hate each other from the depths our hearts but- we love each other too- just kidding we hate each other! Pure and horrible hate. "Admit it Lexi, you secretly love me!" Bad boy grinned. "Get out of here Bad boy, you weren't invited!" "Make me baby girl." He blew me a kiss. "I should've killed you with Hunter when I had the chance!" • Warning: IMMATURE content may make you want to hit your head to the wall at times and my head sometimes. Please do not resort to violence!*Grins* Alright, alright: Language! *Sighs* so much language *Shakes head* It would mean the world to me if you decided to read this but that's up to you! :) Maybe you'll laugh a little, who knows??? I'm absolutely crazy and somewhat evil so forgive me for my lame jokes and bad puns, please!

For the past two years I have been all alone. I don't mind though. When I was 16, I ran away. I haven't talked to my parents since then. Now I am 18. I bet they didn't go looking for me either. They probably didn't even notice I was gone. You're probably wondering what about my friends? Don't they miss me too? Of course they don't. I didn't have any friends. That is what happens when you move to a new town in the middle of high school. Also, I wasn't like any of the kids at my school. My name is Blue-Ivy Johnson but most people call me Blue.
