Bad breakups make for good publicity.
Celeste Laurent built an empire out of fixing other people's messes. As one of the most in-demand PR strategists, she knows how to spin scandals, bury rumors, and make even the most reckless celebrities look like saints. But when the latest name on her client list turns out to be her ex, international superstar Roman St. James, she realizes there's no crisis plan for a broken heart.
Roman needs a full-image makeover-fast. A string of bad press and one very public breakup (with her, no less) have turned him into international's latest problem child. His team has one solution: hire the only woman who can clean up his reputation. The same woman who swore she'd never see him again.
Now Celeste has two choices:
1. Fix his career and walk away unscathed.
2. Fall for him all over again-and risk being the next PR disaster.

The Playboy CEO (SAMPLE)
(The full version of this book is available on Webnovel!) "Do you see this?" I held up a card between my fingers. Jason looked at the card, then back at me, confusion clear as day in his eyes. "What is this?" "A wild card, obviously," he shrugged, looking like he was about to tell me to get to the point. All in due time. "Obviously," my smile probably looked sarcastic, like I was making fun of him. Jason had no business being fussy with the position he was in. "Take a look at your surroundings, my love. The situation you find yourself in is less than ideal, and I'm the only one who can save you," I was done being the hurt one. The one who was always left behind. "Now tell me again. What is this?" "A wild card." "This is what I am to you right now," I put the card down on the table and slid it towards him. "And whether it wins or loses the game for you is your move." ~°~°~°~°~°~ An accidental marriage. A drunken mistake, or a premeditated plan for revenge?
