It seems luck is never on Olivia Blake's cards. Her life has been a series of unfortunate events that has left her bruised and battered. When she joins Cane Industries as the cruel CEO's assistant, she discovers the different layers of Austin Cane. Will she be able to resist his magnetic pull? Will she be able to resolve her traumatic past? Olivia's arrival in his world will unravel Austin. He has to confront his inner demons to realize the real value of love. Will he finally open up himself or will he revert back to his old ways? Will these two jaded souls find refuge in each other amidst all the obstacles life will throw at them or will it be too late?

Craving Mr. Cane

“Miss Althea Greene, glad you could join us today,” Mr. Austin greets her. She glides into the room. Everyone is captivated, including me, and soon everybody settles down. Tommy finally leaves me be. 


I watch Ms. Greene take a seat beside Mr. Austin. Where she belongs. They look like a king and a queen ruling over their subjects. How fitting. Her fiery red hair is in a bun but tendrils have escaped. It makes her look alluring. The glasses she’s wearing give off the impression that she’s here for business, the opposite of the party look she had last time. 


She goes on to outline new improvements that she wants the team to undertake, detailing specifications with accuracy. 


She knows her stuff, she’s decisive and articulate. She takes no shit from any of the guys on the team.
