She told him she loved him in high school; he laughed in her face. And, ever since then, Lucia Brielle Renaud had vowed never to fall in love again.
Ten years and a successful career later, Lucia's first love... or is it her mortal enemy, Dylan Thomas is back in her life with one sole task; to claim the one position Lucia has ever dreamed of taking on: Vice president of Retro Corp!
Oh, another cool fact... he doesn't remember her. At all.
Lucia is determined to do everything... even go the extra mile to ensure that she gets that position, and possibly her lost pound of flesh while she's at it, but how far will she go? 
Dylan Thomas returns to his father's company after so many years also vying for the position of vice president. Little does anyone know that he comes with his own ulterior motives and personal agendas. He meets Lucia, otherwise known to him as Brielle, and the level of attraction he has for her is maddening and almost instantaneous.
With lust, feelings and physical attractions getting in the way, who will emerge victorious in this battle for power?

THE COLLISION

Ryan Rodriguez… businessman extraordinaire and probably the most beautiful man on the planet wanted to go out with me!

Now, don't get me wrong, I know my worth and know he should actually be considering it an honour to go on a date with me and all that stuff, but I still didn't understand.

I mean, from the way he had pushed me into such a tight spot, it was obvious that he knew that I would not even be contemplating it had he asked in a normal way, so the question now was, why?

Why waste so much time when you can easily just have anyone else?

I cleared my throat nervously. "You know, Ryan… under other circumstances, I would have been thrilled to go out on a date with you, but this is business… and I really don't think it is wise to add something such as that to the equation."

Friends get jealous too
