But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone.
And I loved every second.
I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain.
Turns out the man I spent one steamy night of passion with is Cole King, billionaire COO of the King Group. And unlike our previous encounter, when it comes to business, he’s as cold as ice.
Now I’m working for him, and it’s… challenging.
He’s arrogant, demanding, and seems to delight in pushing my buttons. But with every “one-on-one” meeting he insists we have, the memory of that night simmers between us.
I should never have agreed when he proposed a no-strings-attached arrangement, but I wanted to experience more of what he could give me.
I didn’t mean to trade my heart in return.
Now it’s too late.
Because no matter the warmth his touch brings, Cole is as icy in love as he is in business.
And I’m the one who’s going to get burned.
