Contemporary Romance

I made a promise not to sleep with my new personal assistant.
Too late.
I’d already slept with her before I knew Grayson, my human resources director, hired her.
Long story short.
We first met at a café when she let me have the last apple turnover.
Then I saw her again that same night at a bar.
She was incredibly sexy, and she wanted me as much as I wanted her.
We both agreed it was a one-time thing, and she left the following day.
Imagine the shock on both our faces when she showed up for work on Monday.

I wasn’t a relationship type of guy and for good reasons.
Julia Benton had her own reasons why she wasn’t looking to get involved with anyone.
So, continuing our sexual relationship was a win-win for both of us.
But the more time we spent together, feelings I’d never felt before started to emerge.
Then things became complicated, and she quit to pursue her dreams.
I knew how much it meant to her, and I didn’t care.
Now that I’d lost her, I wanted, no, I needed her back in my life, and I would do anything to make sure that happened.
