Dean McCormick Everything in my life is big from my penthouse to my ego, and I always get what I want. So when a mystery woman at a masquerade party leaves me with only her phone number, I'm annoyed - and intrigued. Mia is as smart as she is sexy, and she challenges my dominance in ways no one else has dared. But she's also been lying to me, and a scandal from her past threatens my lucrative deal with the legendary Dex Truitt. I made a mistake letting her in. I might love her, but I can't risk trusting her. Mia Ford When I fled Kansas for New York, I expected to have a fun, new life. Instead, I've become a workaholic with only a tiny apartment to show for it. Until I get a sext meant for someone else. I play along because what Dean's after is all I'm willing to give. But as I get to know the man behind the empire, I fall for him - hard. When my past catches up with me, Dean ends our relationship. But I'll teach him that my love is his most powerful asset. I'm not running this time - I'm fighting for my rightful place by his side.
