As a publicist at one of the top PR firms in New York, I’m used to handling tough cases―not impossible ones. But how better to prove I’m deserving of that promotion than to turn Ryker back into the golden boy everyone once thought him to be and convince the board that he’s fit to lead? The only catch―we’ve got some history. The complicated kind.
Spending the summer working in the Hamptons wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t stuck here with the one man who knows just how to get under my skin and into my head. I’ve spent so much time with him that our fighting has slowly turned into something more. Something heated. Now I’m worried it’s not just my head he’s getting into, but my heart.

“I want to like myself again. It’d be nice to have my own approval before I go.”
“We can fight later about what we’re going to order for dinner. I’m not fighting about being your girlfriend. I want to be yours just as badly as I want you to be mine.”
“Stop hating on the binder. You’ve charmed so many of your board members because of the information in that binder.”
“I was wondering how long you’d let me be in control. Of course you can ride me, princess.”
“Fuck, princess, you were right. You’re so fucking desperate for my cock that you take all of me perfectly.”
“I really like my life right now. And I’m really fucking excited about what the future looks like…with you.”
“When you realize you’re falling in love with someone, you want to get back to them as soon as possible.”
“I lost my mom too. When I was a young, barely a teenager. I think she was the only person who ever loved me. Sometimes, I’m terrified I’m unlovable. And the only love I’ll ever know was that of a mother’s…and even that was taken from me.”
“Keep being a good girl and you’ll find out that I’m actually very polite when I want to be.”
“Kiss me like you never want to let go.”
“There’s probably a reason she’s pushing you away. And I’d be shocked if she isn’t interested in you. She keeps looking over here. Every day, she’s always looking at you.”
“I had all these plans about what we’d do for the day. Fuck, Cami, I know I only knew you a day, but all I wanted to do was make more plans with you.”
“I don’t have to like you to think you’re fucking perfect.”
“I’m thinking that I wish I hadn’t told you this was just a shower. Now that I see you…I’m thinking about how much I want you."
“You shouldn’t attach your worth to an asshole like your dad, Camille. With a man like him, I think you’ll be waiting your entire life for his approval.”
“Goddamn. You’re squeezing me so fucking tight it almost hurts. Such a good fucking girl, coming all over my cock.”
“The easiest thing I’ve ever done is like you, Cami. Even when I thought I hated you, I liked you.”
“This whole naive, golden-boy card has been played one too many times. It’s time for you to get your shit together and become the leader everyone expects you to be.”
