'I’m wealthy, powerful, and able to get any woman I want.

'So why do I feel so empty inside?

'In search of a deeper me, I take a sabbatical from my privileged life. One year of backpacking around Europe: a new identity, no contacts, and no money. Not a bad plan, I think.

'Until I get there.

'A crowded hostel room, body odor, and beer bongs—there are no words for the fresh hell I’ve landed in.

'But amid the chaos, I meet my new roommate, Hayden Whitmore. She sleeps in the bed opposite me, and I openly admit to staring at her more than I sleep. Beautiful, innocent, and smart. Not my usual type but perhaps the perfect woman.

'There’s just one small problem with the divine Miss Hayden. She’s totally unaffected by my charm. Nothing is working, and now, I’ve been friend zoned.

'What?

'But the good thing about me is that I’m an incredible problem solver, and I’ve come up with a diabolical plan. I’m going to slide right in under her friend zone. Be the best damn friend she ever had, hold her hand, make her laugh, and spoon with her in bed.

'But now there’s another problem.

'Hayden is the one who is sliding under my skin, and maybe friendship isn’t enough.'

'At a Turning Point

'At a Crossroads

'Cara thought she had the road ahead all mapped out--she'd be a biker's old lady, straddling a Harley behind the man she fell for in her teens. But she's all grown up. And while the Wind Dragons will always be family, Cara wants something more, something for herself. Decker may not be a biker, but that means his woman will always come first.

'Caught in the Cross Fire

'Once an MC princess, always an MC princess, though. When Cara's connection to the Wind Dragons puts her in the line of fire from a gang out for revenge, Decker realizes the safest place for her is by his side.

'My favorite hobby is infuriating Elliot Miles. Just the sight of my boss’s handsome face triggers my sarcasm. God knows how he earns his Casanova reputation—if a million women want him with his personality, what the heck am I doing wrong?

'Disgusted with my love life, I join a dating app under a fake name. I start chatting to a man named Edgar. He’s not my type and lives on the other side of the world, but we hit off a friendship, laugh and confide in each other.

'But lately things are getting weird at work. Elliot’s being…attentive. His eyes linger a little longer than they should, and there’s a heat behind them that I haven’t felt before. And then, in the shock of all shocks, he tells me that my vulnerability is appealing. But when was I vulnerable?

'Horror dawns…Has my boss been reading my emails to Edgar?

'Damn it, why did I use my work email?

'Oh no, does he know what I really think of him? I’d rather die than ever admit it.

'Or, even worse: is it possible that the man I loathe in real life is the man I’m falling for online?'

'I first met Tristan Miles at a meeting where he was trying to take over my late husband’s company.

'He was powerful, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous, and I hated him with every cell in my body. In the shock of the century, he called me three days later and asked me on a date.

'I would rather die than date a man like him—though I do have to admit it was good for the ego. Turning him down was the highlight of my year.

'Six months later, he was the guest speaker at a conference I attended in France.

'Still arrogant and infuriating—but this time, surprisingly charming and witty.

'When he looked at me, I got butterflies.

'But I can’t go there.

'He’s just a player in a hot suit, and I’m just a widow with three unruly sons.

'I just need this conference to be over.

'Because everybody knows that Tristan Miles always gets what he wants…and what he wants is me.'

'I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York.

'The food, champagne, and service were impeccable.

'The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better.

'He was suave and intelligent.

'We talked and laughed, and something clicked.

'Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night.

'With no plans, we made our own.

'We danced and laughed our way around Boston and had a night of crazy passion that no woman would ever forget.

'That was twelve months ago, and I haven’t heard from him—until today.

'I started a new job and met the CEO. You can imagine my surprise to see those naughty blue eyes dance with delight when he saw me across the mahogany desk.

'But I’m not that carefree girl anymore. My life has changed, I have responsibilities.

'I just got an email.

'He wants to see me in his office for a private meeting at 8:00 a.m.

'Naughty blue eyes have no place in the workplace.

'What kind of private meeting does he have in mind?'
