My first book. Definitely rewriting.

I look over to her to see her already looking at me. Damn her eyes are so enticing. Her eyes sat low with a little redness tend to them. She was high and I was too. Both of our arms relaxed on the console and our fingers were slightly touching. As I stare into her brown eyes the more I felt connected to her. I felt our fingers etching to touch each other as they rub together before we held each other hands. Novanni looked down at our hands and small smile came upon that beautiful face before she look back up to me but instead of looking me back in my eyes, she's was staring at my lips. I lick them and saw her gulp before licking her own. I can no longer deny this connection I felt towards her because the more I deny it, the feeling gets stronger. I found myself leaning more towards her and she was too. We were so close that I felt her breath on my lips. I place my forehead on her head with our nose rubbing against each other. "Please", she whisper soflty against my lips. (I don't own any of these pictures in this book)

I've spent years perfecting the art of being untouchable. I don't date, I don't "do" hookups, and I certainly don't do vulnerability with people that know who I am. But when Ally dragged me to a speed-dating event, I figured I'd spend five minutes being bored and then go home. Then Paloma walked up to me. She was everything I usually avoid-confident, radiant, and looking at me like she could see right through my professional armor. For one night, I let my guard down. For one night, I wasn't the boss; I was just the woman who couldn't keep her hands off her. I thought I'd never see her again. I was wrong. Walking into my firm on Monday morning, I expected the usual spreadsheets and silence. Instead, I found Paloma-my new Creative Director for my magazine, GLINT. Now, the woman who knows exactly what I look like without my suit is the one reporting to me. She's a distraction I can't afford and I'm a risk she shouldn't take. But every time she walks into my office with a stack of files and that beautiful smile, I realize that for the first time in my life, I don't want to follow the rules. I want to break them. ________________________________________________________________________________ Paloma is back in the city, nursing a bruised heart and zero desire to be at a bar. But her friend Nova is relentless, and before she knows it, she's facing Tae; from the most captivating woman she's ever seen. Tae is striking-six feet of quiet intensity, covered in tattoos, and clearly just as reluctant to be there as Paloma is. The connection is instant. The hookup is unforgettable. But when Paloma walks into her new Job on Monday, the woman with the ink and the soft touch isn't a stranger anymore. She's her boss.

Valeria La Reina Monteserra has always been a woman of excess-luxury, arrogance, and a dangerous freedom that leaves no room for anyone's expectations. Born the youngest of the infamous Monteserra family, she walked away from a life of crime to seek her own path, a life without the weight of her older siblings' shadows. But escape isn't as simple as it seems. Five years ago, Valeria helped her sister, Luciana, kill Lorenzo-the man responsible for the love of Luciana's life, Veronika, the ruler of Russia. That single act tied her even tighter to the dangerous world she tried to leave behind. Now, she finds herself in Sweden, supporting her brilliant niece, Hanna, as she navigates the corridors of academia. But trouble is never far behind. Not when Selena Alexandra Lindström, the composed and intelligent professor who annoys her to no end, is part of the equation. Valeria, spoiled and unrepentant, can't resist teasing Selena. But beneath the arrogant exterior lies a secret-one tied to her blood-stained past. A past she's sworn to keep hidden from Selena, a woman whose life couldn't be more different from her own. As old ghosts resurface and emotions collide, Valeria must decide: Will she remain the free spirit she's always been, or will her family's dark legacy pull her back into a world where power, betrayal, and dangerous liaisons rule? In the game of empires, only the most cunning survive. But what happens when the heart gets in the way?
