could blame it on the adrenaline, but honestly—it was her. Summer. The way the two of them had meshed was simply amazing. She was a generous lover, and he’d found himself going to lengths he hadn’t with any mere hookup or one-night stand. She was stunningly responsive. He could have spent the rest of the day with her, the rest of the week, and been a happy man.
You’ve got one hour till that conference call.
He sighed. It had been the best sex he’d had in longer than he could remember, perhaps ever. But now it was over, and he had to go back to the real world.
Summer turned to him, her cheeks flushed, her expression soft, and her smile warm. “How about a nap, and then we can grab some breakfast? I’m not on shift until tomorrow.”
“Neither am I.” With real regret, he reached for his clothes. “But…”
He glanced over to see her expression fall. “But… oh. Right.” Her expression was flat.
He hated that he’d caused her any sort of hurt, and wondered why he felt that so strongly, but he brushed the thought aside. “I have a thing I have to do this morning…”
“Don’t. Just don’t.” She smiled, but it wasn’t one of her bright smiles. It looked brittle and didn’t reach her eyes. “Guess I’ll see you around.”
He couldn’t help himself. He leaned down, stroking her cheek. “What I was going to say was, I can’t do breakfast—but maybe we could do dinner?”
He’d caught her off guard. “Dinner?” she repeated blankly.
“Yeah. You know. Like a proper date.”
Nic, what are you doing?
She smiled, a shy smile that hit him right in the sternum. “I’d like that.”
“I’ll pick you up. Around seven. Okay?” When she nodded, he leaned down and kissed her. “Now I really have to go. See you tonight.”
She was smiling and snuggling into the blankets, sending him a sleepy “bye” as he shut the door behind him. Immediately, his conscience screamed at him as he got into his car.
You’re not going to be here! You’re not even using your real identity! What are you doing?
He closed his eyes, resting his head on the steering wheel.
Yes, it was foolish. He wasn’t going to have time to start anything with Summer. He shouldn’t do this.
He thought back to the sight of her, beautiful and sleepy, nestled in the tangled sheets.
He couldn’t help himself, he realized. He was doing this anyway.

Success. That’s all billionaire tech magnate Grayson Finlay has ever cared about. Growing up penniless and fatherless, he vowed to never be poor or powerless again. Now helming a wildly successful tech enterprise, he’s poised to launch the IPO that will cement his company’s status…but first, he needs one more big win to prove he’s got what it takes. His newly developed app that helps people dress for success could be the key. But after being doused with mud on his way to an investor meeting, Grayson’s outfit needs an emergency rescue. The tiny boutique run by the quirky and charming Mila Tomlinson has just the clothes he needs—and just the woman to catch Grayson’s interest. Mila’s quick thinking and knowledge about fashion gives Grayson an idea: a contest between her and his soon-to-launch app. It will build hype for his app, help her business and give them an excuse to work together. However, one night of passion results in some serious consequences. Mila is pregnant.
Mila has a problem. Not only is she pregnant, she just might be falling for a playboy billionaire, a man who puts work first, last, and everywhere else. For Mila, just opening her boutique was a risky endeavor, one that pushed her far from her comfort zone. Now comes Grayson barreling into her life with his ambition and grand plans, not to mention his infinite ability to make her body melt. While Grayson’s driven, Mila finds that he’s also sweet and charming and the sexiest man she’s ever met. Sure, dating a billionaire is a bit intimidating, but she’s willing look past that flaw…as long as Grayson is willing to consider the successful life he could find outside of the boardroom, and in Mila’s arms.
