"What a story! [...] The banter, animosity, passion, and eventual friendship will keep you laughing throughout the story. There’s a twist and a secret I didn’t see coming, and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in this series!"

Published: January 28th, 2022
Billionaire Harrison Avery always gets what he wants, and as soon as he sees Siena Butler, he’s desperate to have her. Too bad Siena has sworn off all men, especially gorgeous arrogant ones. She wouldn’t date the sexy rich boy for even a million dollars, which is exactly what he offers her.
Harrison never meant to offend the beautiful beach shop cashier when he gave her a million-dollar check. He was just trying to get her attention. How could he have known that Siena was fed up with men and would use the check to try and ruin him.
When Harrison buys up the beach shop where Siena works to pay her back, her opinion of him isn’t improved. But the more time she spends with her new boss the harder it is to keep hating him.
Siena soon realizes that she can only resist the billionaire’s charm for so long. What harm could there be to let herself indulge in just one steamy night with the playboy?
EXCERPT
“Look, because of this stupid
misunderstanding between us, my entire business is on the line. My name. My
legacy. My actual damn job. Not to mention that there are hundreds of employees
who could lose their jobs if a merger doesn’t happen soon. If nothing else, do
it for them, not me! They’re just normal people with families, trying to make
ends meet.”
Damn him for trying to turn this
around on me. “How dare you come in here and try to make me feel like the bad
guy, you self-entitled asshole!”
“You don’t know anything about me!”
he exclaims.
“I know you’re a rich, entitled jerk
who always gets whatever he wants when he wants it, which is apparently why you
refuse to take no for an answer from me!”
“The check wasn’t me trying to buy
sex! It was supposed to be like a big tip, you know like generous celebrities
sometimes leave for waitresses,” he explains.
“I’m not a waitress!”
“I know that!” he shouts indignantly.
“I’m just saying that’s how it was meant. Did I think it would help you change
your mind about coming over last night? Yes. But there were no strings
attached. You can still cash it.”
“No, I don’t want your money!” I tell
him. Reaching into my shoulder bag, I find the check, ball it up and hit him in
the chest with it before it falls to the floor.
He stares at me with his jaw gaping
for several silent seconds, and then he chuckles. “You’re in the process of
ruining my entire fucking life, and all I can think about standing here looking
at you is that maybe my demise would be worth it just to spend a few more
minutes arguing with you. How stupid is that?”
“Pretty damn stupid,” I agree,
lowering my eyes and running my fingertip absently over the peeling edge of the
counter to avoid looking at his confusing, handsome face.
