Playing dirty in the boardroom just got a whole lot dirtier.
Lily may
walk and talk like a Southern piece of fluff, but she’s been underestimated
before. She's
determined to succeed—and no entitled, arrogant asshole, especially the
too-gorgeous-for-his-own-good-kind, is going to get in her way.
Oil meet
water. Gasoline meet spark. It’s all out war as these two enemies go toe-to-toe
in an ugly, take no prisoners battle to prove they’re the right choice to be
CEO of the same company. All too soon playing dirty in the boardroom leads to
playing even dirtier in the dark. It’s destined to end in personal and
professional disaster. So why can’t they stop?
Excerpt
from Besting the Billionaire:
His adversary spoke through gritted teeth. “I’m not afraid of you.”
Unwelcome
lust reared its head, raked its nails across his skin, and clawed at his chest
and back. Just the way he wanted this woman touching him.
He shook his head to expel the image. “You
should be.”
“Yesterday, you intruded where you didn’t
belong. I returned the favor. We’re even.”
“Mishka,
I don’t do even.” He stepped closer. “I don’t do ties. I don’t give out medals
for participating. I’m in this to win.”
“I
wouldn’t order new office furniture yet.” Her hold on her briefcase had gone
knuckle-white. “I’ve asked to speak to the board as well. It’s going to be
amazing.”
“I would expect no less.”
“Really?” Cynicism dripped from every syllable.
“Really.”
“What about the whole nails and spa thing?”
“I’m a quick study. Able to admit a mistake
when I make one.”
“What are you up to?” Her eyes narrowed. “Is
this some sort of trick negotiating tactic?”
“I’m a
jerk, yes, but I’m the brutally truthful kind. I’m willing to admit you’re
turning out to be a more impressive adversary than I initially imagined.”
“I…” She
swallowed hard, that kitten tongue darting out to lick those lips, and for the
first time, he saw a flash of vulnerability in her gorgeous eyes. It made his
chest go tight. Because in that small, revealing gesture it became clear that
the always cool, classy, and poised Ms. Bennett was far less confident than she
appeared. Worse, it mattered to her what others thought. A very dangerous
weakness to have in their line of work.
So why the hell was he thinking of ways to
toughen her up rather than exploiting it?
“I appreciate you saying that.” She cleared her
throat, her gaze flickering away.
Ah,
hell. The urge to haul her close and murmur God knows what in her ear until
that vulnerable look went away surged through his blood with painful intensity.
“This thing between us is going to be a
problem.” The words came out sharper than intended.
Her
spine snapped straight, that soft look disappearing fast. “There is no thing
between us.”
