    About this ebook

    Nicki Munne finds herself adrift after her long-term relationship has come to a close. Heartbroken over the fact that her boyfriend has cheated on her, she finds herself coming to terms with the knowledge that she was in an emotionally abusive relationship and is now on her own.

    Things change when her best friend drags her to a house party. As Nicki finds herself having a terrible time, she has an encounter which ends up changing her life. Finding herself with a new job as the assistant to a billionaire with his own construction business, Nicki discovers that she must navigate what makes this man tick.

    As Nicki tries to figure out what makes her billionaire boss, David Ackerman, tick, she also finds herself struggling to come to terms with her own broken relationship and the scars it left upon her. Nicki works to be true to herself and stand up to David when she feels he pushes her around.

    But the more she grows as a person, the more she finds herself discovering layers to David that she cannot help but feel drawn to. Nicki finds herself falling down the rabbit hole of David’s personal life, and discovers that she cannot help but be attracted to such an enigma.

    Will Nicki be able to show David they should be together? Or has David already found another?

    Author

    D.C. Chagnon

    D.C. Chagnon was born in a quiet little town in Tennessee, and this was also the place where her love for the romantic and exciting was born. The author remembers days spent running on hillsides and swimming in brooks, and endless hours spent reading books that were her escape from the mundane. It was on a fateful summer day when the teenager wrote her first romantic short story as a submission for a local paper’s contest. Signed under a pseudonym, her story that told of summer and the sun, of a friendship gone beyond its limits, and heart-aching tragedy, garnered praise and the first prize for the young story-teller. She was eighteen, and on that day, she decided that she wanted to write for the rest of her life. The author is happily enjoying the married life with her husband of five years and their two young children. She is an avid traveler and has sought every opportunity to tour places halfway across the globe. While at home, the author makes it a full-time commitment to be a mom, but also spends a lot of her time coming up with new story material. She is often heard saying how difficult it is to balance being a wholesome house mom while writing erotic fiction on the side. While she outwardly claims her inspirations to be the likes of renowned novelists Lisa Kleypas and Anne Rice, she does admit to being a fan of the more current works such as those of the Fifty Shades of Grey author and the Twilight series. On her off times, she can also be seen reading the more wholesome works by Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams.

      Chapter One

      Nicki regretted coming to this party. She knew her best friend, Paz, had meant well. Paz dealt with any break-up with a solid week of partying. But now that Nicki was here, in some record executive’s house in the rich part of town, she wished she had stayed home instead. The thought of watching bad television and stuffing her face with ice cream seemed like a better balm for her break-up wounds than whatever this party had to offer.

      But Paz had been so excited when she had agreed to go to this party. Still, Nicki’s party days had long since wrapped up once she’d graduated from college three years ago. Paz was always asking her to come out with her, swearing she would have a good time. The truth was, Nicki just wasn’t much of a partier anymore, and usually she would decline her friend’s invites.

      But in a lapse of judgment brought on by the fact that her five year long relationship had officially crumbled last week, Nicki had agreed. Now she was being bumped into every two seconds as she tried to make her way to the kitchen, where she could get a drink. Paz had been thrilled about getting invited to this party since it was apparently some big-name record executive throwing it. Her friend was firmly entrenched in the music world, even working as an assistant at a record company, so this party was a big deal for her.

      For Nicki, not so much. Nicki, who worked as a dental assistant at a place in town, knew nothing of anyone here, even when Paz would point them out and whisper in her ear who they were.

      When Nicki finally got into the large kitchen, Paz was already there. She was talking to a tall, lanky man with glasses. Her hair, which she had dyed purple, was thrown up in a bun, and she was wearing a sundress that had cost her a dollar at a thrift store. Nicki knew no one would be able to tell, though. Her friend had accessories draped over her – necklaces, bracelets, and rings – that made the sundress look almost like a designer outfit.

      Paz saw Nicki enter the kitchen and waved her over. Nicki managed to get to her friend intact. The man took this as a chance to ditch the conversation and was gone by the time Paz turned around.

      Scared him off already? Nicki said, half joking.

      "Maybe I
