Business as Usual

Business as Usual

<b>DARREN</b><br /><br />Ever since my partner died, my life has been spiraling out of control. I’ve lost everything important to me, and now I’m losing the company he and I built. Investors are breathing down my neck, dictating my every move, and now they’ve hired some young, starry-eyed brand consultant to make me more palatable to the general public. <br /><br />He’s ambitious, optimistic, and kind-hearted. Everything I’m not. And despite my best efforts, he’s starting to get under my skin. I’m not averse to mixing business with pleasure, but if he’s looking for more than a one night stand, he’s going to be sorely disappointed. <br /><br /><b>JAMIE</b><br /><br />It’s always been my dream to work for Arion, one of the most innovative tech companies in the world. But now that my dream’s become a reality, I’m realizing it’s not what I thought it would be. This isn’t a think tank for genius minds, it’s a mess of red tape and bureaucratic bullsh*t. And billionaire CEO Darren Wilkes, the man I’ve idolized for years, is way more arrogant and aloof than I ever thought he’d be. <br /><br />Unfortunately, he’s also a lot hotter than I thought he’d be. He’s definitely got the dark and brooding thing down pat. Somehow I have to ignore all that, though, since I’ve been given the impossible job of rehabilitating his public image. <br /><br />I never expected to make it past Darren’s prickly exterior; to find the man who’s suffering beneath it all. But no matter what happens between us, I <i>have</i> to keep a level head--and I have to guard my heart. I can’t afford to fall for my boss.<br /><br /><u>Business as Usual</u> is a steamy romance between a jaded CEO and the man who helps him learn to take a chance again. This is a full-length, standalone novel.
