  MATTHEW

  When I first lay eyes upon Claire Barkley, I never could have imagined we would become friends. That day I heard her complaining about her bad luck in the bar, I certainly didn’t expect to go out of my way to help her out. Helping women isn’t really the name of my game; more so helping myself to their bodies. However, in spite of my disdain for the fairer sex, there’s something about playing pretend that sets a fire alight inside of me. Love? Nah. But we’ll have fun.

  CLAIRE

  When my mother insisted I bring a date to my sister’s wedding, I thought I was out of luck. However, when a remarkably friendly face offered a bit of assistance, who was I to say no? Especially when the guy offering to help has such a hot bod… I may be a virgin, and this may all be a charade, but I’ll show this playboy that he’s not the only alpha in town. Game on, rich boy.

  This is a chocolate sundae with a steamy cherry on top. It's topped with a sweet happily ever after with no cliffhangers and no cheating!

  The Boss & The Intern

  New house. New life. New me! Everything was going perfectly until I met my new boss.

  I got flustered just looking at him, and he relished it. The more nervous I became, the more he enjoyed it!

  He started finding ways to toy with me publicly…in meetings and photoshoots. My embarrassment only made things worse. The further outside of my comfort zone something was, the more pleasure it gave him!

  The one thing he wouldn’t tolerate was another man giving me attention. It was like he had staked some sort of claim on me—not that I was complaining. He knew exactly what kind of effect he had on me. Every touch, every smirk, drove me wild. It was torture! And the worst part was…I didn’t want him to stop.

  Chapter 1: Best Foot Forward

  “Okay. You are Elizabeth Adams. You are so strong and fierce that your middle name might as well be Tiger. But it isn’t. Keep to the facts.” Elizabeth smoothed out the wrinkles that had formed on the front of her black dress from sitting in the car. Her palms were starting to sweat. Flipping down the mirror on her visor, she tidied up her lipstick and made eye contact with her reflection. “They would be lucky to have you. You’ve got this.” She took a deep breath and fixed a dazzling smile on her face.

  Page Industries stretched itself before her. Crisp steel and black walls made it seem intimidating and strong. Butterflies flitted through her stomach, and she fought back an excited squeal. Somehow, even in heels, she managed to take the steps two at a time. The door was harder to open than she had imagined, and it caught her off guard.

  Inside, the building sparkled with dark tile that glinted in the light. Elizabeth tugged her dress into place and straightened her shoulders. Brushing a strand of dark hair back into place, she leaned on the receptionist’s desk, “Hi! I’m here for an interview. I’m trying to become an—”

  Her bubbly voice was cut off sharply by the receptionist’s dry tones, “Go down to the conference room on the left. Knock before you go in.”

  “Oh. Okay then. Thank you!” Determined not to let the other woman’s rudeness ruin her mood, she strutted down the hall and opened the conference door.

  “Weren’t you told to knock first?” Bright blue eyes pierced her from behind a long table. A striking man with broad shoulders and a beard that make him look rugged gazed back at her.

  Shoot! She hadn’t even been here five minutes yet, and she had already messed up. Pressing her lips into an apologetic smile, she knocked on the door that she was still holding open, “Sorry, I’m just so excited to be here.”

  The man in the conference room sighed, “It’s a little late for that now, don’t you think?”

  “Right. Let’s start over.” She held out her hand to him, “I’m Elizabeth Adams. I’m here to interview for the intern position.”

  “Nice to meet you, Lizzie.” He maintained eye contact as he held her hand in his for just a second too long.

  The intoxicating mixture of his eyes and his handshake made her stomach do a summersault, but that was abruptly brought to a screeching halt when he shortened her name. She winced, “Just Elizabeth, please.” He raised an eyebrow at her but didn’t say anything. Unsure of what to do with the silence, words began rattling out of her mouth, “Thank you so much for letting me come in today. I know it might be hard to believe, but this is my dream job. Well, this isn’t, but the job that comes after this one is.”

  “So, this isn’t your dream job?” He pulled his arms back closer to his body and leaned his fingers into a steeple.

  “No, that’s not what I meant.” Elizabeth could feel her cheeks beginning to burn. “I just meant that this is a terrific opportunity. I want to intern here so that I can get my foot in the door to be the next concierge, you know? Page Industries is such a renowned company, and being involved in even a small portion of that would be amazing.”

  “So, you don’t want to be an intern?” He wasn’t letting her off the
hook that easily. She squirmed under the pressure, and he had to force back a smile.

  She was beginning to get flustered. “I’m tripping over my words, but I am the best candidate you will see for this job. I am hard working and enthusiastic. My wanting to move up should be a plus for this job, not a negative. It just means that I must do well here to get to my dream job. If that isn’t motivation enough to make someone be the best intern this company has ever seen, then they don’t deserve to be a part of this company!”

  He let a small silence settle over the room. The smile that had been fighting to come out finally crept over his lips into a smirk, “I agree.”

  “You do?” The fire that had blazed in her eyes as she was talking softened.

  “I agree that you are the best candidate I am going to see for this job, because you are the only candidate I am going to see for this job.”

  “What?”

  “You already had the job before you even came in here. Why do you think I was here to meet you?”

  “I just thought this was an interview.” Elizabeth’s mouth gaped open. She got the job? “Wait. You made me go through all of that when I already had the job?!” Embarrassment colored her face.

  He chuckled, “One of my perks. Make sure you see Adeline on your way out. She’ll give you your schedule. You start tomorrow.”

  He pushed himself away from the desk and opened the door to leave, but she stopped him, “I’m still confused. ‘One of your perks.’ What does that mean?”

  A young woman with a clipboard caught him at the door, “Mr. Page, could you look over this paperwork, please?”

  He took the clipboard and glanced over it, “I’ll get this back to you later, Miranda.”

  Elizabeth’s eyes widened, “Mr. Page?!” She trailed after him, star struck. He was much younger than she had imagined.

  “You know, for someone who says she has a dream job with my company, you don’t seem to have done much research.” He gave her one more smirk before disappearing into an office. The nameplate beside the door read his name in bold, silver letters: Derrick Page.

  Having trouble catching her breath, Elizabeth wandered back to the lobby. She had just had an interview with the Derrick Page. It was hard to keep her mouth from gaping open. Her feet carried her on autopilot towards the front door.
