Madison
My best friend and neighbor, Piper, is trying to arrange a blind date for me. I agree because she doesn’t take no as an answer. But why won’t she tell me his name? Anyway, it is just for tonight and I want to have some fun?   
Liam
I managed to stay away from her for years because I’m no good for her. Will I have the strength to keep my hands off her one more time?

When Madison left her secure and stable job in the financial industry for an uncertain position within a startup, she regretted nothing. Well almost nothing. She regretted that she will not be seeing her CEO Liam Carver anymore.
Liam is a big player both in business and in private affairs. He is a billionaire, always on the move for the next new venture.
She knew she was not his type but catching a glimpse of him while he passed through her section on the way to his next meeting, was more than enough to make her day.
Three years later Madison has a new life and new friends and life couldn’t be better. But she never forgot the gorgeous looking ex CEO.
Liam can’t believe his luck when he discovers that the mysterious neighbor is Madison. She worked for him a few years ago, but that is not the reason why he remembered her. Madison was the most beautiful woman he ever saw and the only one he will not let himself touch.
Torn between his inner demon and the desire to see her again, the pull towards her makes him accept Piper’s matchmaking offer to hook him up on this blind date.
Well not so blind for him because he exactly knows what he is getting into…
Or doesn’t he?

Out of Time

Guys called for an urgent meeting after Duncan spread the word about Madison so I have get my ass on the plane and go to L.A immediately. I was hoping we can postpone the confrontation till after the gala, but Duncan has his agenda. 


I’m not ready to deal with all of them yet, barely faced the reality of the decision myself… The possibility of the decision… Most of the night I spent calculating the final impact. The number is staggering, I can’t even voice it to myself. Can I go through with it? Is Madison the one? Thump in my chest answers that question for me. Yes, she is – THE ONE. 


I wanted to transfer management of the fund – but to lose almost all I have invested and built over the years. Others have been here before me, making the hard decision. Drake had. He chose Piper. Duncan had. He chose to let go of his girl. And I… to let go of Madison before we even had anything deep.
