To Desire

Older man, younger woman romance doesn't get any hotter, more glamorous, or more forbidden. Yup, sexy as hell. But when a surprise pregnancy binds a billionaire and an off-limits lover forever, things start getting emotional--real fast. Jack The first time we met, years ago-when my son was pretending he wasn't in love with her best friend-Jackie and I sparked the kind of chemistry that's off the charts. But I've hurt my son enough in the past, building my empire at the expense of everyone else, bringing him up in a loveless marriage that damaged the whole family. My entire life is built around making things right with him. So no matter how intensely Jackie and I desire each other, that could never happen. To make things more impossible to control, now she's wound up as my executive assistant. It's my fault--I couldn't help but offer her the position after her social media scandal made her a pariah. I'd do anything for her. Even if it means torturing myself every day with the scorching, palpable tension between us. Until my heart attack. Ah, nothing quite changes your perspective in life like a near-death experience. Especially when the person you share it with is the one forbidden woman you can never bring yourself to stop thinking about. So what do I do? I ratchet the whole thing up to nuclear by taking her around the world with me. I'm an older man, who's a billionaire, travelling around the world with a woman who's off limits. But soon enough, it becomes clear that no kind of logic will keep us apart. Because the problem is, she's the best thing that ever happened to me. Jackie Start with a billionaire silver fox boss who doesn't think he deserves love. Add me-one penniless, off-limits woman ten years his junior, who just so happens to be his daughter-in-law's best friend-and send us on a glamorous trip together around the world. The daddy jokes would write themselves if the only friend who ever really mattered to me didn't keep reminding me. Despite the chemistry that's always been simmering between us, we'll be able to keep it platonic. Obviously. We'll have to if I'm going to overcome the career-devastating press my influencer rep's been smashed with lately. But what if we just happen to be the best things that ever happened to each other? Maybe things aren't so obvious anymore.
