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

I’m driving for few hours now, getting close to Reno. Gas gage on my dashboard getting dangerously close to empty. This little road trip of mine is officially the most ridiculous thing. 


The Boss sharing his plea for a human touch through the speakers in my car sends shivers down my spine. I just want someone to talk to… It’s just you and me tonight… Give me a little of that human touch… 


A glance back makes my heart hum with love. His big black Land Rover a constant in my rearview mirror. He is with me, each step of this return trip home. I thank the forces above when I see a gas pump. He stops right beside me. 


“Miss. Ace, fancy seeing you here.” He defiantly purses his lips while his gaze remains sharp making my heart quicken. 


“Isn’t this a BIT extreme?” I ask putting the hose into the tank opening. “You don’t need to be here. I made it there alone and I’ll make it back.”
