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?
She gives me a small smile. “Thank you.” I turn back onto the road, and we drive in silence. Until she says, “God I could use a drink right now.” Her comment throws me. It seems like such an un-Kate thing to say. She’s a straight arrow. No nonsense. The kind of girl who hardly…
Hey, you know if I just sit up a little bit more, I could see right down her blouse. I love that spot on a woman. That valley just between her- Stop it! Mentally, I slap myself. And she goes on. “You’re used to being number one around here. You’re used to being daddy’s special…
And with that, she walks out the door. Huh. Kind of anticlimactic, don’t you think? I thought so too. Wait for it. A few hours later, I’m down in the library looking for an enormous reference titled Commercial and Investment Banking and the International Credit and Capital Markets. All of Harry Potter would fit into…
He ponders this a moment. “Yes, that’s true. You know, there’s a fine line between love and hate, Drew.” “And didn’t Sally Jansen switch schools later that year because-“ “Look, the point here, man, is that I liked the girl. Loved her. I thought she was awesome. But I couldn’t deal with those feelings. I…
“You’re a jerk.” “You’re a…an Alexandra.” She pauses a second and looks at me blankly. “What the hell does that even mean?” Think about it. It will come to you. I rub my hand down my face. “Okay, look, this is getting us nowhere fast. We’re screwed. We both still want Anderson, and the only…
So, after two weeks of strategizing and fantasizing, I’m sure that Kate Brooks will be my next one-nighter. I can’t remember wanting someone as much as I want her. I’ve definitely never waited for a woman as long as I’ve waited for her. But the point is, for me, it’s a done deal-a foregone conclusion-not…
The answer is simple: Growing up, my mother forced “family movie night” on her young children every single week. The Bitch got to choose the featured presentation every other week. She went through this whole Julia Roberts obsession and forced it down my throat for, like, a year. I could recite the goddamn thing verbatim.…
The first is: God hates me. The second is: I have been a naughty, naughty boy for most of my life, and this is my payback. And you know what they say about payback, right? Yep. She’s one hairy bitch. Chapter 3 I AM ALL ABOUT SELF-DETERMINATION. Will. Control. I determine my path in life.…
“Sure. I don’t think there’s many in this field who haven’t read about Evans, Reinhart and Fisher’s golden boy in Business Weekly…or Page Six for that matter.” Her last words refer to the gossip columns on whose pages I frequently appear. “If the only reason you blew me off is because I work here,” I…
Oh-you want to know how? You want to hear my sob story? Okay, then. It all started a few months ago, on a normal Saturday night. Well, normal for me anyway. Four months earlier “Fuck, yeah. That’s good. Yeah, like that.” See that guy-black suit, devilishly handsome? Yeah, the guy getting the blow job from…
