Erica Hathaway has just graduated from Harvard and is the
founder
and operator of Clozpin, an online social fashion site.
Erica has been alone in in the world ever since her
mother's
death and her step father sending her out to the East
Coast
to boarding school. The only people in her life are her
mother's best friend Marie, and her two business partners,
Alli and Sid.
While out celebrating her recent Harvard graduation, Erica
literally bumps into Blake Landon, and the sparks start to
fly. Sexy and handsome, Blake is every woman's fantasy.
Although their run in is short, it leaves Erica with some
fantasy material since she has no time for a man in her
life. She is all career minded and her success right now
is
dependent on her meeting with the investors at Angelcom.
the last thing she expected was Blake to be one of the
investors at Angelcom. And so begins the romance of Erica
and Blake.
Erica doesn't make it easy for Blake to get close to her.
She is constantly pushing him away, because again, her
main
focus is getting Clozpin off the ground. However, Blake
is
use to getting what he wants...and he wants Erica. He
will
do just about anything to get close to her, even if that
means getting her to rent the empty apartment in his
building.
I absolutely loved HARDWIRED! I liked that the plot
wasn't
so completely focused on Erica and Blake. The story
line combines Erica and per partners trying to get the
money
to grow the business. Allie moving away, Sid moving in,
and
Erica finding out who her birth father is and ultimately
meeting him. Even meeting a man from her past that she
would
like more than anything to believe never existed.
HARDWIRED is a great way to start off a series! This is
my
first time reading anything from Meredith Wild, but I know
it will not be the last! I can not wait to see how she
proceeds with this series!
Determined to overcome a difficult past, Erica Hathaway
learns early on how to make it on her own. Days after her
college graduation she finds herself face to face with a
panel of investors who will make or break her fledgling
startup. The only thing she didn't prepare for was going
weak in the knees over an arrogant and gorgeous investor
who's seemingly determined to derail her presentation.
Billionaire and rumored hacker Blake Landon has already
made
his fortune in software, and he's used to getting what he
wants with very little resistance. Captivated by Erica's
drive and unassuming beauty, he's wanted nothing more
since
she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her
over,
he breaks down her defenses and fights for her trust, even
if that means sacrificing a level of control he's grown
accustomed to.
But when Blake uncovers a dark secret from Erica's past,
he
threatens not just her trust, but the life she's fought so
hard to create.
