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 ...

The Heart to Help

“I’m nervous about the play,” he admitted. “Not that Arturo won’t be great. He will. But if for any reason he decides he’s not happy and pulls out…that’s it. The whole project goes down the drain.”


“But if he’s as down to earth as you say, and really cares about helping people, he wouldn’t fuck you over like that,” Colin pointed out. “And if he does fuck you over like that, then we’ll find a way to fix it. Because we can’t afford to let the project go down the drain.”


The unexpected show of solidarity did more than reassure him Arturo was a professional. Grady kept his gaze forward so Colin couldn’t see how profoundly the simple gesture hit him. “Are you more okay with the project now that you’ve had a few days to think about it?”


“I’m going to do my best to help make it a success.”


“That doesn’t actually answer my question, you know.’


Colin shrugged. “I guess not, but that’s the only thing that matters, right?”
