Leilani Williams is the woman that all women envy. She has the beauty, and the brains, and her presence alone commanded the attention of everyone in the room.

Ares Bateman is the man that every man wants to be. He’s strict and calculated, yet also the most misunderstood.

The one thing these two have in common is that they are both fighting for ownership of the same company. More specifically, her father’s company. Although they both want the same thing, they still can’t help but fall for each other, even though they’re rivals. 

Will Leilani and Ares get what they want in the end? Or will their love shine brighter than their need for power?

He was still as gorgeous as he had always been, but this relaxed version of him was easily my favorite.


“Leilani,” he said, his voice husky.
