According to Hayley love is a subject of ridicule, a myth created by hopeless romantics.
When Hayley makes a resolution to declare her loose lifestyle era R.I.P, it’s all good in theory…
That is until she meets Daniel Stark, a well-respected, mid-thirties business man who is known for his short temper, lack of steady relationships as well as his strict preserve of his private life.
Opinionated, sharp tongued Hayley accidently steps into his office leaving Daniel resolved to put Hayley in her place and have her in his bed.
Both Hayley and Daniel can’t avoid the immediate instigation of the attraction between them.
In a unanimously agreed upon verdict by Hayley and her two best friends, Ian the gay self-absorb, aspiring model and Natasha the witty, borderline neurotic soul mate, Daniel Stark is to be Hayley’s pure physical attraction, emotions aside era closure.
Will it indeed be a closure, or a beginning to something neither Hayley nor Daniel ever bargained for…

Excerpt
I
There's
a high-end coffee machine calling my name on the countertop across the room. A
quick little coffee and I am out of here.
I press the green
small-cup button and the machine awakens with the noise of evaporating steam.
The oh-so-aromatic, roasted scent wafts toward me as the machine fills the cup
with a rich chocolate-colored liquid. I'm thrilled, already anticipating the taste.
When the machine signals that the cycle is complete, I grab the cup too
hastily, and some of the coffee manages to spill on my white blouse.
Observing the damage
with irritation, I murmur, “Fuck me,” under my breath.
“Is that a request?”
Shifting my stare back
to see who has just spoken; I find myself holding on to the counter from a
momentary loss of balance, as I take in the sight of the orator.
Heat spreads from the
center of my skull through my throat, to the top of my cleavage. And I don’t do
blushing. What the hell?
Standing there is the
very picture of hot, tall and sinful. White tee, jeans, and the most alluring
bad boy stance. Something in his crooked smile inexplicably leaves me
dumbfounded. For the space of a moment, I am lost in him.
His eyes roam over me
with a wicked glee, stripping off every layer of clothing I have on. The air
escapes my lungs at the intensity of that gaze.
I gape back at him, my
jaw slightly dropped. “Mmm… just made some coffee.” I mumble my lame excuse and
follow it with a thin smile.
“So I assume it wasn’t a request,
then?” His teasing eyes are on me, that sexy grin is still plastered on his
face, and his expression insinuates pure sin.
“Too bad,” he murmurs, and I have to
swallow hard.
“Is that your thing?” I ask, recovering.
He cocks an eyebrow.“Sneaking
behind people and trying to engage them in salacious activities?” A low laugh,
deep and hoarse, comes as a reply.
“No.” He scratches his amused lips
with his thumb, looking at me with a slightly tilted head. “And just for the
record, I believe it was you who started with the indecent proposals.”
I open my mouth,
looking frantically for some clever comeback that doesn’t appear to come, and
instead feel my face heat up. Again. Damn.
