Kylie vows that she will stay away and restrict herself in order prevent falling head-over-heals for this man. It eventually becomes hard for Landon to contain himself whenever she’s near that he actually considers breaking his “no-employ relations” policy.
Miss Hayes has this plan that she won’t develop feelings for her new boss, no matter how alluring and irresistible he is, while Mr. Stonebridge has a plan of his own. He wants her, but the only way that he’s ever wanted woman.
The closer she gets to Mr. Stonebridge the more she realizes that she will do anything she can to get him, even if that involves doing everything… his way. Makayla is inexperienced and knows that she is not ready for the intentions that Landon has cut out for her, but she is already in too deep. Kylie has fallen in love with a man she knows will never be capable of loving her back.
There are only two things that Landon craves- Makayla and control.
Soon she learns that Landon is the deepest, darkest, and most intense man she has ever encountered. Kylie finds herself doing everything that he asks of her. After everything he’s done she still finds her feelings heightened and there comes a point when she can no longer keep them inside.
After thoroughly thinking this over and knowing that this could be the end: Kylie admits the truth to Landon, breaking his terms, and destroying their agreement. She takes her only chance at finally getting passion and intimacy… This isn’t how Landon wanted it- so he sets her free.
All her heart desires is the man that claims he can never love someone. All she wants is this tortured soul. But all she needs is her Mr. Dark Side.
