About Devoted
A woman’s work
Amy Slaten has devoted her life to Slaten Industries. After ousting her corrupt father and taking over the CEO role, she thought she could relax and enjoy taking her company to the next level. But an old business rivalry rears its ugly head. The only thing that can possibly take her mind off business is the training class at Sanctum…and her training partner, the gorgeous and funny Flynn Adler. If she can just manage to best her mysterious business rival, life might be perfect.
A man’s commitment
Flynn Adler never thought he would fall for the enemy. Business is war, or so his father always claimed. He was raised to be ruthless when it came to the family company, and now he’s raising his brother to one day work with him. The first order of business? The hostile takeover of Slaten Industries. It’s a stressful job so when his brother offers him a spot in Sanctum’s training program, Flynn jumps at the chance.
A lifetime of devotion….
When Flynn realizes the woman he’s falling for is none other than the CEO of the firm he needs to take down, he has to make a choice. Does he take care of the woman he’s falling in love with or the business he’s worked a lifetime to build? And when Amy finally understands the man she’s come to trust is none other than the enemy, will she walk away from him or fight for the love she’s come to depend on?
Excerpt
He was either falling deeper into her web
or she was getting closer to him. It didn’t matter tonight. Tonight, all that
mattered was she was here.
“So, how are you really feeling? Will told
me I should give you something if your muscles start to ache.” It was the only
damn reason he hadn’t attacked her in the shower. Sometimes it took a few hours
for the pain to set in. He didn’t want to give her more. He could wait.
Her hand went to his thigh as she moved
slightly away from him so she could look at his face. “I feel great. I feel
better than great. I am tired though. Long day. Maybe we should turn in.” She
frowned. “I don’t have a toothbrush.”
Oh, she of little faith. “I had one
delivered along with the prescriptions Will called in for you if you need them.
One’s for pain and the other is an anti-inflammatory.”
“I don’t need them.” She sat back and it
was the first time since the shower that she hadn’t been touching him. “Where
do you want me to sleep?”
“You can take my bedroom.” He probably
wouldn’t sleep at all. He would sit out here and work. It was what he usually
did at night. He would sit in his perch high above the city and work until it
was almost dawn. “The bed is very comfortable.”
“But you won’t be in it.”
This was the moment he’d been waiting for,
kind of dreading and desperately anticipating all at the same time. “Not if I
think I could hurt you.”
She huffed a little and stood up. “I’ll be
back.”
He reached out and gripped her wrist.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“To find a doctor who will write me a note
so you’ll have sex with me.”
He couldn’t help but smile at that. She was
pouting like a kid who’d lost her favorite toy. This was why he’d pushed her to
cry in the shower. He needed this Amy back. His Amy. He’d hated how polite and
courteous she’d been when they’d been in public. Oh, she’d allowed him to
handle some things, but her smile hadn’t reached her eyes and not a single
sarcastic remark had passed those luscious lips of hers. It was wrong and
counter to everything he’d come to know about her.
This Amy boldly told him what she wanted
and was willing to do whatever it took to get it.
This Amy wanted him.
