Publisher's summary

Working for my ex-boyfriend? Sure. But falling for him again? That's a deal breaker.

Dancing around my office in my bra isn't exactly the way I'd have chosen to run into my ex for the first time in 12 years, but what can I say? Wes Lake has always had a knack for showing up at the most inopportune times.

Unfortunately, he also has a knack for leaving. That's why I've made every effort to put him out of my head - and my heart.

But this time, he needs my help. Wes Lake, head of Manhattan's preeminent real estate development firm, needs my tiny little marketing start-up to take on a special project at his company. The money's too good to turn down, so even though I'm leery of working for my ex, I accept.

There's just one problem: I can't stop kissing him.

I know better. I swear I do. But that doesn't stop my lips from being magnetically drawn to his every time we're in the same room. Can you blame me? He's gorgeous, wealthy, powerful - and he still remembers how to push all the right buttons.

So to keep things professional, Wes and I strike another kind of deal.

• No kissing.
• No talking about the past.
• No seeing each other outside of work.
• Did I mention no kissing?

Shouldn't be a problem, right? Except I might have underestimated Wes. Because when it comes to business - or pleasure - he'll do anything to seal the deal.

Even if it means breaking my heart in the process.

Contains mature themes.

Great Story, not the male reader

Loved the storyline and twists. Good characters and plot. However the male voice did not fit the Character Wes Lake. The tone and “age of the voice” felt 20 years older. Too much swag for how his character was written. I listened to it on high speed which helped tone it down. Great performance for Rory!

I Love Rock Engle’s Voice!!!

I really enjoyed the storyline and the male lead being more wholesome with the problems they run into not being about sex and other women. But mostly I love Rock Engle’s narrations and search him out. Give the guy some love! He has a little quirkiness but I find his voice can be sexy, tough, sensitive so many different things. However I do understand when a narrator does not do it for me and I avoid or wait a long time before listening to them again.

a fresh take on a second chance

I thought this was a refreshing spin on a second chance romance. and the spice was immaculate!!!

Be careful of who you choose to call a friend or an acquaintance/associate

I love that the leading lady loved a young man without judgment without knowing his background or status or anything just for him.i hate that a love ended from not communicating but there’s always room for second chances! There’s good people and there’s bad people the good outweighs the bad…it may be good to test people to see if they for you or not,or if they stand for what you stand for.

Just wow

I laughed and cried this was a feel good book. Already looking forward to listening to the next book in the series. Performance was awesome

my ears hurt

these guys hurt my ears!! they didn't do try his book or the characters any favors!
