From the moment Colin Braugher meets millionaire Grady James, he has the other man's number -- spoiled, obnoxious, and worst of all, fake. Every word out of Grady's mouth sounds calculated, and Colin isn't going to fall for his insincere charm.  Grady has never cared about the Heart to Help Charity before, and Colin isn't going to stand by and let this important cause be used for Grady's self-aggrandizing.<br><br>For his part, Grady wants only the best for his grandmother's favorite charity. Confused by his cold reception, alone in a strange city, and fascinated by a man who seems to want nothing to do with him, Grady is at loose ends. Until Colin gives an inch, and Grady knows he can have so much more than that if Colin would only see the man he truly is ...

“Great. I’m looking forward to it, too.”


Colin nearly ran back to the safety of his own cubicle. Pretty much nothing of what just happened made any sense to him at all. He could only hope that spelled the end of his alone time with Grady. They would be seeing a lot of each other, and Colin could learn to live with that, but it would be much easier all around if they just saw each other from a distance. He just hoped he wouldn’t spend every day for the rest of the year fending off dinner invitations. 3
