He’s dirty – no chaser.
Billionaire Hunter Knox hired me to save his family bourbon business: I’ve won the big pitch, but now trouble is only just beginning. I’m on a tightrope trying to keep my career from crashing out like a coed after a dozen jaeger shots, and I’ve made it clear to Hunter, our sexy one-night fling can't be repeated.
So what does the guy do? Turns around and starts dating my sister.
Pour me a double.
Excerpt . . .
I briefly considered a topless pic before discarding that idea; if someone from work ever found our dirty texts, I could claim someone else had sent them from my phone, but how that hypothetical someone had got their hands on a topless shot of me would be much harder to explain away.
I filed that idea away for a day in the future when I worked at a company where my colleagues weren’t untrustworthy sexist shitheads, and sent ‘miss u’ instead.
I immediately regretted it.
Not because it wasn’t true, but because it wasn’t sexy. And since our night together, Hunter and I had been keeping our conversations strictly sexy, and far, far away from feelings territory.
The phone rang.
Shit, had that been too much? Was he calling to say I should back off? Had he rethought things completely?
Calm the fuck down, I told myself sternly. You sent him a two word text, not a dozen roses. It’s not a big deal.
I answered the phone. “Hey.”
“Hey, Ally.” I could hear the smile in his voice. “It’s good to actually talk to you. I’ve missed you too.”
I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.
“So, how’s it going over there?”
“Oh, you know, a complete madhouse. So, the usual.”
“Oh yeah?”
“My boss is calling every fifteen minutes, the editing team can’t find any of the stable footage, Sandra keeps having to ice her hand to stop it cramping up…” I trailed off, and then laughed. “How do you do that?”
He sounded confused. “Do what?”
“Make it all seem so manageable. So okay. Just by listening.”
“One of my secret ninja powers,” he informed me, deadpan.
I raised an eyebrow. “Got any others you’d care to show me?”
“Oh, I’ve shown them to you,” he drawled, and even though it was only his voice over a phone line, I blushed fire-engine red. “And you’ve shown me a few as well.”
I eyed the door, toying with an idea. I couldn’t hear anyone rushing my way with an urgent development…I rose swiftly and locked it. “Care to see if those powers work over the phone?”
I knew exactly the face he would be making right now, that slow-spreading sweet honey grin as he took in the meaning of my words. “I surely would.”
I deeply pondered how much it would hurt my career if I walked up to him and kicked him in the balls right at that moment.
But in her moment of despair, Ally finds the most unlikely companions and gets her inspiration. I definitely loved this scene in the bar. However, things get awkward again and Ally is finding it hard to keep back her real emotions. They tend to spill out at certain moments which is hilarious for us. Not so much for her lol.
In this book, we do see more interactions with Ally and her family. Not to mention the men who are trying to steal her thunder. I really dislike these men. Especially Chuck. What a snake. And that snake takes advantage of Ally at a weak moment...
"We're both covered in mud and grass and God knows what else. I'm not getting that all over the nice clean sheets."
He stalked closer, a panther on the prowl. "I don't mind getting a little dirty."
I'm sure most of us wouldn't either ;) Be warned, you are in for another cliffhanger. This one is going to crush you. So many questions left unanswered. What will become of Ally and Hunter? What of her job? Will Chuck finally get what he deserves? We shall just have to wait until the next book to find out!
