When Jodie moved to the big city with her best friend after years of sexual abuse from her older brother, she thinks things are looking up when she gets one of the best PR jobs in London. Deciding to celebrate, she goes out for one last wild night with her best friend Ryan to the biggest and most notorious casino in town - home to the entire East End Gangland. 
She's bowled over by the enigmatic, stunningly beautiful Cayden Gates, and follows her old habits for one last orgasmic time before waking up on Monday morning as a responsible adult with a brand new, glittering career, by enjoying a night of burning hot lust and passion with the sexy stranger, and bailing before he wakes up alone in the cold bed.
So, after the hangover wears off, and she strolls into the office Monday morning, imagine her surprise when the mysterious stranger just happens to be a Mr. Cayden James Gates - founder and Managing Director of CJ Industries - and he's more than a little intrigued by his beautiful new payroll, even though she is about as responsive as an icicle - especially when she realises that the one thing you can't run from is your shadow, and her family ties start to choke her.
Will she overcome her demons to step back into temptation with an open heart, or is he a serpent in a brand new Eden? 
And as the stakes climb higher, how willing will he be to fight for her without his own dark secrets stepping out from behind the curtains?

2018 Wattys Longlisted. A little spicy. A little sweet. A lot of passion. Kate Crawford has always known what she wanted out of life. She's had a plan for every step of the way, determined to be successful and make a name for herself in journalism. She's always been sure of herself and confident in her decisions - that is, until she met Jesse Reese, a man who keeps her on her toes and will stop at nothing to have her in his bed. Kate sees no harm in having a little fun, and indulges in a spicy sex life with Jesse. It's just the distraction she needs from the stress of trying to earn a big promotion. But then Alex Stephens captures Kate's attention, giving her a taste of something sweeter. Since she's technically not in a relationship with Jesse, Kate decides to enjoy Alex's company, too. Both men give her something that the other cannot, but sooner or later, she's going to have to choose between them. EXCERPT: "So what made you say yes?" he asked, pulling me out of my sexy daydreams. "Pardon?" I almost choked on a piece of rice. An amused expression played across his face and even that turned me on. "When I asked you for coffee and then dinner," he clarified. "What made you say yes?" The fact that you're so hot and I want you to take me to your bed right now. "I... well..." I cleared my throat, starting to feel flushed and took a long sip of wine. "You seemed nice." Really? That's all I could come up with? "Nice?" he smirked with a chuckle, tapping his fingers on the table. "You must have me mistaken, sweetheart."
