Once upon a time, I had everything: money, power, a multimillion-dollar company, a loving family. Well, at least I thought I had everything. Then my parents died, and I found out my whole life was based on a lie. That’s pretty much the moment when I went numb. Told the world to f*** off and went on a bender of epic proportion, just to see how far I could fall before I hit rock-bottom.

Now I’m back and all I want in this world is my morning—okay, afternoon—coffee. Then one of my employees has the nerve to call me out for cutting the line at the coffeehouse at the company I own. Sure, I’m a little scruffier than usual, but come on, bitching out the CEO? Not a smart career move. Just who does this smart-mouthed ball-buster think she is? And more important, what do I have to do to get her number?

Holland O’Dell may be uptight, but I wouldn’t mind taking her back to my place and ripping off that business-casual blouse/skirt combo and burying myself in her curves. She pushes my buttons, but at least I’m feeling something. And whatever it is, I won’t stop until I get more.

Nothing has ever been easy for Holland O’Dell. She grew up in foster care and has worked hard for everything she has achieved. Luckily, she is smart, was able to go to college and now she works for a great company.  Unfortunately, it’s not her dream job, but she is working on that.  Holland is driven, goal oriented, sassy and opinionated.  One day she has a chance meeting with Oliver Cody, the owner of the company she works for and it changes the course if her life.

Oliver is disillusioned with his life and is broody, withdrawn and has cut himself off from everyone.  When he meets Holland, there is something about her that pulls him to her.  He doesn’t understand why, but Holland makes Oliver feel alive again and better than he has in a long time.

Oliver and Holland meet each other at the perfect time in their lives.  Oliver is having a difficult time and meeting Holland helps him figure out what is important.  In turn, Oliver helps Holland achieve some of her dreams.  When they meet everything about their relationship feels right and they finally feel whole. Where one is weak, the other is strong.  Oliver and Holland are realistic and easy to sympathize with and they have smoldering chemistry.  This is a heartwarming story with interesting characters and a good plot line.
