If you think it's hard to win back the one that got away, try doing it while you're taking over her family's company.
To save the firm his father built, ambitious CEO Hal Mercer has to initiate a hostile takeover of industry giant D'Arville Industries.
Owned by the family of the only woman he's ever loved, Kate certainly isn't going to stand by and let him destroy her family's empire. If only she'd have dinner with him, he could make her understand his intentions. If Hal fails, it's his family's company that's doomed, his employees who'll lose their jobs. He can't let that happen, but Hal isn't used to having everyone counting on him like this.
Problem is, it's becoming less clear which is more important to him-winning the corporate battle of his life or the heart of the woman he loves.

Rich People Problems
As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
