Tempting

Jada

I needed this job. That’s why I traveled clear across the country to become Executive Assistant to billionaire CEO Spencer Blackstone at his secluded Wyoming ranch. But after spending two days stranded at the airport, I finally arrive only to discover my enigmatic new boss is nowhere to be found. He left me a mile-long list of duties, but no Spencer. I'm seconds away from buying a one-way ticket back to New York when he finally appears out of the shadows. Spencer lives up to his reputation: intense, gorgeous, and dangerously seductive. I've been warned he's exactly the kind of man a woman who plays it safe should avoid. The trouble is, I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want him—even as he disappears again with no warning, leaving me trapped in a web of dark family secrets.

Spencer

I vanished from Manhattan society without explanation. No interviews, no appearances, no scandals. Just silence. Everyone assumes I'm either grieving my father's death or losing control, but the truth is far more dangerous. I retreated to this remote ranch to dig up the dark secrets my powerful family spent decades burying. I was perfectly content with my self-destruction until Jada Forte walked into my life. She is beautiful, intelligent, and everything I should avoid. She was hired to help me rebuild an empire I’m neglecting, but instead, she becomes the only person capable of reaching the fractured man beneath my billionaire facade. But Jada comes from a world dangerously connected to my own, and the closer I get to her, the harder it becomes to separate desire from suspicion.
