Summary:
The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land.

Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

But fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers because it hurt too much to be anything else.

Years later, time hasn’t dulled what we felt, has never erased the way we fit. And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts.

It’s a choice neither of us expected.
A bond that never really broke.
A line we were never meant to cross.

We tell ourselves it’s only temporary, that the arrangement is just a means to an end. But with each passing day, the lie feels more like the truth. And with each stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine. Because some things were never meant to be pretend.

And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined...

Summary:

The sexy hate-to-love, black cat x golden retriever, billionaire romance that's impossible to put down.

Ryker Davenport is the reckless, arrogant heir to his family's company...and my ticket to a big promotion.

As a publicist at one of the top PR firms in New York, I'm used to handling tough cases--not impossible ones. But how better to prove I'm deserving of that promotion than to turn Ryker back into the golden boy everyone once thought him to be and convince the board that he's fit to lead? The only catch--we've got some history. The complicated kind.

Spending the summer working in the Hamptons wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck here with the one man who knows just how to get under my skin and into my head. I've spent so much time with him that our fighting has slowly turned into something more. Something heated. Now I'm worried it's not just my head he's getting into, but my heart.

The job was to prove to the world that Ryker isn't bad for business, but in doing so, I may have proved to myself that Ryker isn't bad for me...
