She's my best friend's twin sister and off-limits. We grew up together, but she wanted to escape the small-town life and headed to New York City to chase her dreams. The night before she left, I found her waiting for me in my bed, telling me to give her something to come home to. I couldn't. Instead, I kicked her out of my life, instantly making us enemies. Ten years later, we ran into each other while I was in NYC on business for my ranch, and that night changed everything between us. Not just because I was determined to right my wrongs, but because she just showed up on my front door.

I never imagined I’d be a single dad, let alone traveling overseas for three months—my little girl and boy alongside me—to open my international agency. I needed a nanny. The fifteen I fired in the last few months weren’t meeting my demands nor expectations. Until her. Except it wasn’t that easy. Not only did I break her heart nine years ago, she was also my best friend—and client's—little sister.

We were together since we were fifteen, and we were supposed to be forever. But sometimes love isn’t enough. I couldn’t let her go without one last night, to remind her that every part of her body and soul still belonged to me - she belonged to me. For better or worse, she’s mine. The day we go before the judge to make it official, I find out…She’s pregnant. All she wanted was a family, all I ever wanted was her. No way in hell, I’m losing them both.

After two decades of fighting for my country, all it takes to finally bring me to my knees is a woman half my age. She's got herself mixed up with the wrong people: my enemies. Now, the only way to save her life is to pretend we're married. Forcing her to play my twisted little game will make her hate me even more. She'll follow my rules, and I'll take her hate because her love is what could destroy us both.

Using numerous examples, Robinson and Schroeder argue that the employees who interact directly with your customers, make your products, and provide your services are in the best position to see where problems exist and what improvements and new offerings would have the most impact.

What was supposed to be only a three-year career choice in London turned into me losing the love of my life. For the past seven years, I became the successful multibillionaire I sacrificed her for. Now, after all this time, I made her an offer she couldn't refuse to have her back in my life. She's the woman who's haunted my dreams. I can't wait to show her just how much I've changed, starting with how good I am at using my power to get what I want. And what I want is her… From friends to lovers. To enemies. To now I am her boss, and she is my publicist.

Expensive. Powerful. And entirely f--ked up. That sums up the pretentious but elite circle I grew up in. As much as I hate it, this life has its perks. If I want it, it's mine. It's as simple as that. Until she showed up. She's a tempting little vixen I'm not allowed to have. One intense night changed it all between us, threatening to shatter everything we knew. She came up with a lie. I came up with a cover. Because the truth is… I can't keep my hands off her, and one night would never be enough.

What happens when you make a pact with your boys to stay single and never fall in love? Well, you get the Playboy Pact. I was the playmaker. The one with the best moves, the best lines. I was the best at everything - and I mean, everything. There was no woman immune to my charm. To my looks. To my bed-hopping ways. It was supposed to be easy. A quick, fun, mind-blowing night where she screamed out my name in ecstasy. No feelings. No past. No strings attached. But I broke the rules.

It was only a matter of time until the truth came out. I never thought it would come to this. I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as f--k didn't regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I'd be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister. If there is one person I'd willingly go to hell and back for it was Lillian Ryder.

In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge. Nothing else mattered, not even my own life, until her: Skyler Bell. It all started the first time I heard that voice, giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once - consuming, maddening, forever, mine. Except I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared, lies that needed to be confessed, truths that needed to be told, demons that needed to be buried. Once I realized that the depth, the longing, and the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored my own, it was too late.

I once read that every warrior hoped an honorable death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me. I was trained to kill. I was trained to not ask why. To take orders and just march in line. Hoo-ah motherf--ker. Life or death. Ride or die. And I'm not only talking about the military. I'm talking about the life that led me on the road to nowhere. My life. I fought for my brothers. I fought for my family. I fought for my country. And I fought for her...Never realizing I might die for them too.

So here you are.... Opening the next chapters of my life - wanting to know the next truths of my sins. As if the first half of my life wasn't enough. You. Need. More. You want my redemption. My heart. My soul. Your happily-ever-after.... You. Want. Answers. And I will grant you the very first one you're dying to know. Why did I leave her? So go ahead. Press play. I dare you. You just might not like the answer. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust. And all that f--king shit. I had killed. I had sacrificed. The innocent and the corrupt. I knew blood, and I knew violence. Never imagining I could know love, too. Mia Ryder was a woman to love. To cherish. To f--king claim. Now, forever, and every day in between. If there was anyone I'd go to hell and back for, it was her. Even if it meant going to war with...my f--king brother.

I didn't know darkness and evil lurked inside me until I had to murder to survive, forced to become my own worst enemy. With so much blood on my hands, I was surprised I could still see my own skin. I killed, I tortured, I loved. I played God while I was rotting in a fiery inferno. Thriving on control and power was the only way I knew how to live. There were no other options. If you weren't my friend, you were my foe. If you weren't with me, you were against me - traitors, as I called them. There were no imaginary lines. I'd crossed them all.
