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

It has been a while since you moved. I lay here staring in your red hair spread across the white pillows. I’m tethered to you, my arm resting along the gorgeous curve of your body. This is the most ordinary moment in the world. A moment I will never forget. The darkness in the room recedes slowly, dawn is coming. 


I bury my face in the side of your neck and you move and protest in your sleep. It has been so long since I held another body in this way. So full of life and kindness, so different from others. All those women did nothing to ignite the spark of life in me. Unlike you. You give me passion, calmness, and a sense of joy I never felt before. 


I revel in every second having you in my arms. From the moment you entered my life again you infected me with your trust in me and nothing is the same for me. I’ve lived more in these few days than in what feels like a lifetime before.
