"Don't worry, I won't try anything... Even though I want to."
Emily Johnson needs this job. What she doesn't need, is all the aggravation that comes with being the assistant of the world's most eligible bachelor.
25-year-old billionaire Adrian Kingston, Emily's boss, is known for being difficult. He works late at night and early in the day - and expects his assistant to do the same. The only thing he does for fun is, well, women. The spoiled, wealthy playboy gets whatever he wants from whomever he wants.
Some mornings, women swing in and out of his office, one after the other. And as if he couldn't get enough girls, he even tosses his flirtation and sexual innuendo Emily's way.
Good thing Emily knows how to keep her priorities straight. A flirty, devastatingly handsome boss? His jealous girlfriends? Her demanding workload? Emily has enough on her plate! She really doesn't need all the headache. What she doesn't understand though, is this:
Why does Adrian seem to need her?
After all, Emily Johnson, while beautiful, is not exactly Adrian's usual type. What could he possibly want with her? Is this just another game played by a bored, rich billionaire trying to win the only girl who has the guts to tell him 'No?' Or could Adrian Kingston really be falling in love with The Assistant?
*A sweet, sexy contemporary romance for new adults.
Fifty thousand dollars in exchange for three weeks of sheer commitment and consented submission. It was a simple proposal from the employer to an employee until feelings got in the way.
Being a college student and the legal guardian of her two siblings, Arabella Lincoln has a lot on her plate. Money has always been the issue; more bills and expenses every single day, with only meagre part-time wages to cover it all.
It was supposed to be pure business with no strings attached; do what he says, and get paid in the end. That was the agreement, and Arabella knew it was like a road to her way home.
But what if there's more to him than he lets on? What if each layer she peels off renders her tied to his myriad shades of mystery pulling her closer like a super magnet? He's like a tornado, wrecking her up. But then he's like a touch of sun, thawing the frozen river in her after a long excruciating winter.
Drawn to her world of normalcy and simple joy he never knew existed, Adrian Castle discovers more about himself, about her, and letting go becomes more painful than anything he's ever felt in his entire existence.
But business is business. He needs to walk away when the deal is done. He's the last person to provide her the love and security she deserves. He's the danger. Will he let her in knowing full well that she doesn't belong to his world full of darkness?
The world he so badly tried to escape.
