Drew Evans, a confident playboy and successful businessman, suddenly isolates himself, claiming he has the flu. The real reason? Katherine Brooks, a smart and ambitious new hire at his father’s firm, turns his life upside down. Drew’s attraction to her challenges his arrogance, leading him to question everything. Can he win at love?
When I was eight, my grandfather had a heart attack. After my parents left for the hospital, Alexandra promised me everything would be okay. It wasn’t. “Did Kate tell you that?” She shakes her head. “Not in so many words.” “Then how do you know?” She shrugs again. “It’s the estrogen. It gives us ESP.…
Each printed with I’M SORRY. Too much? I don’t think so either. Then I had a little something delivered to her office. From Tiffany’s. A small blue box with a note: You already own mine. Drew Inside the box, on a platinum chain, is a flawless two-carat diamond heart. Sappy? Sure it is. But women…
See? NILF. Told you. He smiles evilly at Delores. “Hey, Dee, did Matthew tell you about Sister B?” “Kind of. He introduced us at church last week.” Unlike me, Matthew still attends church regularly. He likes to keep his bases covered, just in case. Steven smiles wider. Like a toddler who’s about to tattle on…
You ever bang your head against a wall? No? Watch closely. This is what it looks like. “She’s not. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you! What fucking language would you like to hear it in?” “I don’t know. Do you speak anything besides Asshole?” I pinch the bridge of my nose. I feel…
“I wish I never met you!” I grip her wrists and pull her close. Now here’s when we usually start kissing. Were you looking forward to that part? Sorry. Not gonna happen. Because this isn’t just about me and my raging hard-on. Not anymore. And I have to prove that to Kate. So I hold…

I’ll just keep calling back.” “Then I’ll take the phone off the hook.” The challenge in her voice brings my semi full throttle. Did I…
Lucky for me, I do. “I hope you can grow a third kidney, Drew,” Erin says. “Because if Matthew, Jack, and Steven ever need one at the same time, you’re going to have to hand them over.” Apparently, they’re the ones who’ve been covering for me while I was making that permanent dent in my…
Her jaw clenches, and her hand tightens on her briefcase. “Or you can be the boss, if you like. And I could be the submissive assistant who needs punishing. I could definitely get into the dominatrix thing.” She makes a disgusted sound. And walks away. I easily catch up to her. “No, wait, Kate. I’m…
I’m sorry. Drew Kate, Let me make it up to you. Drew Kate, I miss you. Please forgive me. Drew. But after a few hours I figured I needed to step it up a notch. Get more creative. What do you think? Kate, You’re turning me into a stalker. Drew Kate, Go out with me…
A look washes over Alexandra’s face that I’ve never seen before. At least not directed at me. It’s disappointment. “Of course not, Drew.
