Jilted ex-bride Antonia Robuchon has been groomed to be a trophy wife her entire life. When her mother falls ill, Toni suddenly finds herself temporary CEO of the family business. Though against her life plan, she realizes she has what it takes to succeed in the workforce. While trying to convince the executive team of her value, she finds help in an unlikely sourceóher society playboy assistant, Fabian. The closer they get, the more she questions her initial opinion of him. Can she protect her heart and her motherís secret?
Trust fund baby Fabian Pallis has a reputation of being a ladiesí man who canítóand wonítócommit. When Fabianís father insists Fabian prove heís a responsible employee, heís forced to work for an old classmate, Antonia, who grew up to be more stunning than he remembered. Sparks fly on day one, and he quickly wonders if she could be the one to change his relationship status. How can Fabian leave the job with work experience when all he wants is his boss?
"Goddamn it, Antonia, tell me the truth.” His
voice was low and growling, like he’d let his animal instincts take over. It
scared her a little, but excited her just the same.
She trembled. “So you’re with Camille again, are you?
Or is she just a friends with benefits thing?” Her jealousy showed its ugly
head. She tipped her hand enough to show him such an emotion irked her.
“I’m not with her.” He palmed her throat. The soft pad
of his thumb lay on her pulse as it raced. “And don’t change the subject. You
owe it to me. Tell me why you lied to my father,” he demanded softer that time,
leaning closer to her face.
Desire worked through her body, igniting her senses.
“I… I…” She moaned, acutely aware of how close his mouth was to hers. All she
wanted was his lips on her lips. His lips on every part of her.
“Tell me, Toni.” His fingers tightened on her throat.
She gasped at the eroticism of being caged by him, demanded by him. She
throbbed with how turned on she was by his power.
And without thinking, the words came. “Because I don’t
want you to go.”
His mouth crashed down on hers. He bit her lips,
sucked her tongue and tangled it with his. They matched intensities, both
taking exactly what they wanted. She took it all. His lips, his tongue, his
touch. He slid his hand down, rubbing her hard until she pushed away in fear of
orgasming right there in the hallway.
“We can’t,” she croaked, trying to get her bearings,
only finding the room was spinning faster with each blink.
Fabian pulled her against him. “Don’t run from me.”
She jerked away from him. “You don’t get it.”
“Oh, I get it.” He scrubbed the side of his head in
exasperation. “Admit it, Toni. Admit I might be the one you want.”
“What kind of a fool would I have to be to admit that
to you?” A spike of anger rose inside her at the thought of Camille and all the
other women in his life. “The last thing I’ll ever be is your fool.” But she
wanted to be, horrifically. She wanted him in the worse way for the worse
reasons. She wanted to be his fool, his stupid fool who showed up at his place
of employment and nagged about a future. She wanted to be just like the others.
And that was plain stupid.
“You have no idea what you would be to me.” His eyes
glistened with the words.
“And I’m not going to find out either.” She turned on
her heel, reeling in what had just happened between them. Again. She ached deep
within, regretting walking away, but knowing she’d regret it more if she
stayed.

About the Author:Roe Valentine was born into the right family. Not only does the name Valentine suit her, but her grandmother, unknowingly, introduced the young Ms. Valentine to her first romance novel. She hasnít read anything else since. She calls herself a romantic at heart and believes that love conquerors all.
The San Antonio native, who now lives in Houston, attempted to write her first contemporary romance novel when she was nineteen years old. That attempt didnít take, but her story has a happy ending. She kept pursuing the dream until she landed her first publishing contract in 2013.
When not busy writing or reading love stories, Roe can often be found in a yoga class or chatting with friends at her favorite coffee shop. Enjoying margaritas with some girl-talk isnít unusual for her either. For a night in, she watches reruns of her favorite TV shows and, of course, romantic comedies on her Roku, usually with a glass of wine.
She writes spicy Contemporary, Historical, and Erotic romance novels.
Roe Valentine also LOVES talking to readers. You can contact her in the following ways:
