Lily - I have a plan for my life, and it doesn’t include falling in love. But that’s the thing about making plans. They have a way of going awry at the most unexpected time. I should know that better than anyone. One look at Dereck Anderson has obliterated my plan into nothing more than dust. He is an anomaly I’m not prepared for, a temptation I can’t resist, and an addiction I should have stayed far away from. One hit and I'm hooked. There’s no way to get out of this. There is only one problem, though. He’s my boss. Dereck - I am a man in control of my emotions. Or, at least, I have thought so. One look at Lily Winthrop destroys all of my carefully crafted discipline into nothing more than dust. I want her. I want her from the first moment I lay eyes on her in that bar. I want her with the desperate urgency a man like me shouldn't have. Love at first sight? I have thought that was a lie. Yet, I have been struck by the thunderbolt. Lily is mine, no matter what. This is a short novella with a guaranteed HEA. It is a part of the Dirty Series but can be read as a standalone.
