Pleasure before
business. Always.
Connor Montgomery doesn't give a damn about his world-renowned last name or the
endless list of women who only want him for his billions. There's only one
woman for him... his best friend since childhood, Faith. Unfortunately, as a
vital employee of his family's company, she's beyond off-limits.
Too bad he's never been one to follow the rules.
Faith Holt is in desperate need of money... for all the wrong reasons. Stuck
between coming clean and falling off the face of the earth, she comes
up with a crazy, over the top plan. But to pull it off, she realizes that the
only person who can help is the last person she wants to involve since it may
require crossing the line.
Too bad she can't stop herself from resisting Connor and his wicked ways.
After years of being "just friends" and looking out for
each other in the best of ways, Connor and Faith may have
to decide what's worse: resisting the temptation that's always existed between
them or finally giving in to it.
This is a contemporary 'friends to lovers' billionaire romance.

Excerpt
“You can’t
get rid of me that easily.” Connor struggled to keep his tone light. He had no
idea what had gotten into Faith… unless her plans were code for a date with a
new boyfriend. Something she had every
right to pursue, especially given that he hadn’t made a move on her.

Ever.
Their
relationship meant too much to him. Faith
was too precious to potentially lose, even if it meant he suffered in the
meantime. However, that didn’t mean he liked the fact that she was looking for
something he couldn’t possibly give her, not even with the billions he owned.

He avoided
meeting her gaze. “Are you dating someone?” He all but growled the question
like an animal. He knew the day would come that she’d find someone to replace
him, but it felt like a knife in the back.

Faith
raised her dark brows at him, her pale blue eyes flashing. Her cheeks were pink
with anger. In her black pencil skirt, bright green blouse and conservative
heels, she looked every inch the librarian.
And she was so damn beautiful that it made his heart ache.
