Beauty
and the Beastly Billionaire . . .
Eli
Crane is one tough bastard. After an explosion left him injured and honorably
discharged from the Marines, all he wants is to be left alone. Yet his brothers
insist he take a greater role in the family business. They've hired him ten
personal assistants—and Eli sent each one packing as fast as possible. But when
beautiful number eleven walks through the door, Eli will do anything to make
her stay.
Isabella Sawyer's employment agency can't
afford to lose Eli Crane's business. Her plan: to personally take on the role
of his PA, and secure her reputation with the wealthy elite in Chicago. But
this beauty and her hot billionaire bad boy soon find themselves mixing
business with pleasure in the most delicious ways. And passionate, stubborn
Isabella won't rest until she tames this wicked beast . . .
Standing, she smoothed her hands down her
pants and flipped her hair. She had planned to quietly finish her work and
leave without seeing him again. No such luck. And no hiding that she was
heading his way when her heels clicked along the concrete floor.
Well.
The kiss had happened. The button incident
had happened. There was no taking it back. Regardless of how either of them
felt about it, she was going to continue working here. So. She would deal with
the here and now.
Since the sun was shining, Eli’s lair was
welcome instead of foreboding. No fire cracked in the hearth today. Also unlike
his usual, he wasn’t at his desk. He was at the printer.
“This yours?” He offered a sheet of paper.
“Yes.” She couldn’t keep from explaining.
“Pressed the Print button by accident.”
“Mi printer es su printer.”
Isa accepted the document and Eli sank his
hands into his jeans pockets, his forearms flexing with the movement.
“I wasn’t—”
“I shouldn’t—” they said at the same time.
He pursed his lips and she looked at her
shoes. “Go ahead.” She was going to say, I wasn’t offended when you kissed
me, but now that she’d had a millisecond to think it through, maybe she
should pretend the kiss hadn’t happened. Which was . . . impossible. Standing
this close to him, it’s all she could think about.
“I shouldn’t have ruined your shirt,” he
said.
“I dared you to.”
“Why?” His eyebrows compressed along with
his lips.
“Because you have accepted the role of
beast, but I don’t believe that’s who you are.” She let her gaze linger on his
face before tracking down his body. “And because I like a challenge.”
“Do you?” He took a wide step toward her.
She matched his move and took one step
closer to him. “Yes. I don’t wilt easily.”
He threaded her hair between his fingers, a
look of longing and hurt mingling in his eyes. “I was about to lie and say I
shouldn’t have kissed you.”
Shivers climbed her spine as she remembered
how firm his lips felt against hers. “Maybe . . . you shouldn’t have stopped.”
