When Carter Machin found something interesting, he always chased after it. 

Maya Lee was no exception.

Carter Machin is a young and successful CEO. Ambitious, intelligent, and bold, his only competitor is an equally successful Maya Lee. The two of them are twisted together, and Carter quickly finds himself enamored by her complexity. She's witty, blunt, and thoughtful, and he loves it. 

But even though they have the sexual tension, a relationship between them requires more, and he realizes that in order to solve her, he'll need to solve his own problems first.
