When fiery Jordan Reed indulges in a night of intense passion with a mysterious stranger, she never expects him to be Gabriel Thorne—the rugged, elusive CEO of Pinnacle Innovations where she has applied for a job. She certainly didn't expect him to be one of Europe’s most sought-after billionaire bachelors. Discovering his identity leaves her reeling, but the real shock comes when Gabriel refuses to hire her, only to offer her a scandalous deal that could solve all her financial problems and save her ailing mother. Caught between her duty to her mother and the undeniable chemistry between her and Gabriel, Jordan struggles with the consequences of accepting his proposal. Even more troubling are the forbidden feelings she begins to harbor for the man she should resist at all costs.
