Promise Me Forever: Manhattan Ruthless

How can you promise someone forever?

The simple truth is that you can't.

At least that's what I always thought. Until I met Amelia Ryder. It was a chance encounter. We were meant to go our separate ways and never see each other again.

So you can imagine my surprise when the woman I haven't been able to stop thinking about turns up at my office two days after I sent her home-as my new secretary. And things are about to get a lot more complicated than either of us expected.

She's occupying my every waking thought. If I'm not thinking about her smile or her scent, or the very unprofessional things I'd like to do to her on my desk, I'm definitely picturing her delicious curves-the ones I know in intimate detail.

But I'm Drake James, cold-hearted workaholic. I don't do relationships, I don't do commitment, and I definitely don't do my secretary.

So why can't my mind and body get with the program? Because staying away from the woman is pure torture. And as unfair as it is for her, I'm not prepared to give up whatever this thing is between us, no matter how toxic it gets.

Amelia Ryder is mine, and just because I can't have her doesn't mean I won't.
