Madeline Bloom is clumsy, complex, and bright; all the while dripping in sex appeal. The 22 year old, seemingly oblivious of her looks has her sights on her dreams and goals and making something of herself. But being the daughter of a wealthy business tycoon that runs the streets of the business world has its fair share of challenges. When her job in the New York requires her to go out of her comfort zone she is faced with new challenges, more than ever before and begins to question her decisions and future choices. Her life is uprooted and riddled with tough decisions involving the mind and heart. Nathan Lane is the boy your parents warned you about and is taking the world by storm.

What many don't know is that added to his tough exterior lies a powerful and dominating man with a complicated past. When the first girl that catches his eye is a tough and interesting catch he ignores his rules and tries his hand in uncharted waters, abandoning his previous notions and beliefs. Follow them as they navigate through trials and tribulations as they reflect the epiphany of what it's like to... Are they just playing with fire or are they going to get burnt? ***** And a second later he pushed his face onto mine and planted a kiss on my lips. It was hard, and not romantic at all, very forceful but I didn't stop him. It was short lived one so I regained my senses fairly late and when I did, I realized that I was kissing a stranger or that a stranger was kissing me. "Stop," I pulled back and moved my head, "I hardly know you." Nathan fixed his suit, "I couldn't hold back, it was involuntary." "Nathan this is strictly business. Anymore and it could ruin my job." "Did you not say that you didn't like your job?" ~Includes some adult scenes ~Trigger Warning ⚠️ (2k16-19) *****
