The world might think billionaire Xavier Gaines has it all,
but he's got a big problem. His successful software company
is about to sign a government contract that'll land him
smack in the glare of the public limelight, and his lifelong
battle with social anxiety has marked him as a cold,
uncaring bastard in the eyes of the press. To dispel the
unflattering image, he needs help, and there's only one
person he trusts with the job--Peyton Smoke. Gorgeous, kind,
and funny, she agrees to be his media relations director and
soon imbeds herself so deeply in his life, his world will
crumble if anything upsets the balance. He cannot screw up
their solid unit. No matter how achingly he desires her.
Yet, how is he supposed to resist when she tugs emotions
from him he didn't think he was capable of experiencing?
Especially since it appears he's not the only one fighting
their undeniable attraction.
Ever-after might be possible...if he can convince her to
believe in love again.
Peyton Smoke is looking for a change, and working at Gaines
Industries has given her the boost she needs to fill the
empty void in her life. Xavier is the perfect boss. Under
his seemingly callous, frigid demeanor lies a compassionate
man who cares about causes and those precious few he lets
into his inner circle. What she wasn't prepared for is the
smoldering passion suddenly flaring between them, nor the
hot-as-sin alpha side beneath the layer of sexy nerd.
Getting involved with him puts more than her job at risk.
She's been trampled one too many times, and she vowed never
to leave herself vulnerable again. But the heart wants what
the heart wants. If only she can figure out whether his
feelings are genuine or if this is a mistaken case of
gratitude wrapped in lust, then their shot at forever may
not seem like such a fruitless hope.
