I swear I didn’t mean to flirt with Brayden Clarke—especially not right in the middle of an interview for a job. It was a gut reaction to his smoldering eyes and deep voice. To my total disbelief, he gives me the assignment. I can handle the job, but the sexy man who's intent on getting under my skin might be too hot to resist. But our lives are too different. He’s under constant scrutiny. I thrive on freedom and spontaneity. When we’re together, all our differences fade, and I can’t get enough of this man. And he won’t quit until he makes me his.

A new sexy romance by USA Today bestselling author Layla Hagen that will make you swoon and fan yourself. Happy-ever-after guaranteed. Can be enjoyed as a standalone. After my almost-marriage-proposal ( don't ask ) blows up in my face, I'm done with romance. My family says I'm turning into a broody version of myself, but I'm determined to take New York by storm and steer clear of serious relationships. That's the plan. That's the goal. Nothing is getting in the way of that-not even my sexy personal trainer. Mel Dawson keeps talking me into doing things, like watching the sunset and slowing down to enjoy life. And even though I've sworn off all that, I keep giving in to her. Spending time with Mel is just what I need. When she trains me, and I watch her body, I'm constantly fantasizing about exploring every inch of it. I'm used to taking chances in the boardroom, but not in my personal life. Not anymore. How much am I willing to risk for a chance to make her mine?
