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

My hands shake as I go through the speech, and all the activities I must do as one of the main donators. Where is Madison. I told her to leave… to get out of my eyes. In moment of anger, moment of shock. I called her as soon as finished the speech but she never picked up. And she promised not to do that again. In all honesty, this time I understand. 


Adam informs me he drove Duncan to the house. Duncan! The little prick. But not Madison. I’m on my way out when Drake grabs my arm. 


“Piper is half crazy looking for Madison, do you know where she is?” 


Piper joins us, her face a guilty mask. Shit. I hoped she at least got some comfort from her. 


“I reacted wrongly,” she confesses. 


“Did she say where she might go?” I ask solemnly.
