Clashing Hearts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781959094562)

I was hired to survive him-not to fall for him.

Many assistants didn't survive Julian Haven, billionaire, business shark, and a walking storm cloud. Now, I'm lucky number seven on the assistant list. The one who's supposed to run screaming before the ink on my contract dries.

Except I'm not like the others, and he isn't impressed that I'm the sunshine that he never saw coming. His grumpy scowls? Don't scare me. His impossible demands? Don't faze me. The twisted little games he plays? I'll be his match. His habit of peeling off those crisp white shirts in his office like sin? Not. Even. Blinking...really, totally...okay, a little.

But then came my solid evening dress choice.

His eyes were possessively on me.

The first crack in his icy armor-and my eager lips.

Somehow, I became his-kept close, kept hidden. And I want it that way.

But Julian uncovers a secret he never knew he was keeping-one that will make him fight for me, even when I promise that he'll never have me.

Now, he isn't just my boss-he's the man determined to keep me, even if it means following me back to my tiny hometown and staying until he makes me his again.

The first book in the new Haven Crossroads series, where city billionaire egos collide with small-town hearts. A spin-off from Everhope Road and can be read as a standalone.
