I'm Brontè Wyler, shy, bookish, and have no life experience. I thought housesitting for Ocean Grove's wealthiest, moodiest property developer would be an easy gig. Keep the place spotless, stay out of sight, don't get caught staring at him like he's sin wrapped in a three-piece suit.
But Parker Greyson has a way of pulling me in even as he tries to push me away. He's eleven years older than me, infuriatingly arrogant, and far too aware of how magnetic he is. From the moment we meet, he makes me feel like I am utterly insignificant. Until the night I get him alone-when his walls come down, his eyes linger, and one thing leads to another.
He's commanding, restless, and rough around the edges. Exactly the kind of man I should avoid. Instead, I find myself craving him-the touch that turns soft only for me, the protection I never expected, the heat that makes me forget every rule I promised to follow.
My contract says I work for him.
But the way he looks at me says something else entirely.
But when business and pleasure collide, someone's bound to get burned.

He said nodding his head. "Go out with me...tonight." he stepped closer again. "I..." I felt him getting closer and I couldn't breathe. My mind was screaming yes. "I can't."Complete
Nasty Impulse | ✔
"Come back, Ava. Why did you leave me?" He said looking deep into my eyes. "After what you did, no one can come back to you!" I shook my arm forcefully, freeing myself off of his hold. I kept standing there facing him. I once again looked straight in his dark eyes and hissed, "You are a piece of shit and nothing else." He held my both forearms as tightly as he could, making me wince with the pain he was inflicting on me. He came near me, so near that I could feel the heat radiating from his body, making my surrounding warm and fearful. He leaned down to meet my face and said with a smirk on his face, "This piece of shit is your husband and you know that."

Little Sweet Dreamer
"Oh," he said, as my back hit the wooden wall. Damn it, of course. With nowhere to go, his arms locked me in between him and the wall. He stared down at me as he said, "So you're trying to piss me off?" His lips were surprisingly close to mine. No guy would ever be this close to me in real life, let alone me being able to handle it; I would've been so timid and afraid. But this was the dream world. I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to. "Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine.
