Alejandro always plays by the rules...
Alejandro Aguilar never mixes business with pleasureâbut his newest employee, marketing guru Elise Jameson, is refreshingly different and irresistibly intoxicating. Working together on a high-octane multibillion-dollar merger, exhilaration gets the better of them...
Until now!
But this Spaniard is still wrestling demons from his past and he sees betrayal everywhere, including in the eyes of his temptress, Elise. So he fires her, destroying the business dealâand her heart. Until he realizes his mistake. Innocent Elise is the key to the merger, and she knows her priceâbut is Alejandro prepared to go all in?
âMiss Jameson.â
It wasnât a request. It was an order couched in a pseudo-reasonable tone.
Keep walking. She took another step.
âElise.â
She froze, the sound of her given name so unbelievably sensual coming from his deep, slightly accented tones that she couldnât suppress a gasp. She slowly turned around.
âOne last thing. My company isnât the place to find your next boyfriend or a husband. As long as youâre contracted to work for me youâll practise a zero-fraternisation policy. I find that petty lawsuits are best avoided that way.â
âAre you speaking from personal experience?â she asked.
Alejandroâs face tightened into a rigid, forbidding mask. Hell, sheâd struck another nerve. God, what was wrong with her?
âThat is not your concern. Just be sure to let Grandma know youâll be disappointing her for a while longer where potential wedding bells are concerned, would you?â
Just keep walking.

ALEJANDRO AGUILAR STEPPED out of a bracing, ice-cold shower to the sound of a ringing phone. At 4:00 a.m. such an occurrence would have alarmed most people. He already had a fair idea of why his early-morning routine was being disturbed.
Crossing the master bedroom suite of his Chicago penthouse, he draped the towel round his neck and picked up the phone.
âIs it done?â
A muted sigh from his chief strategist, Wendell Grant, greeted him. âIâm sorry, sir, but they wouldnât be swayed. Weâve thrown everything at them, including my firstborn son.â
The attempt at humour fell flat, causing the weary-sounding man to clear his throat uncomfortably.
Alejandroâs grip tightened on the handset, the inkling heâd harboured for several weeks expanding to nape-tingling certainty. There were far too many indicators to ignore the suspicion any longer.
âFrankly, Iâm at a loss as to why theyâve suddenly become so intransigent,â Wendell continued. âThe Ishikawa brothersâ team refuses to even discuss what the problem is beyond stating that they need more time.â
Alejandro knew what the problem was. The heads of the Japanese e-commerce conglomerate were protracting the deal, which shouldâve been finalised a month ago, in order to accommodate a third partyâs interest.
âHow did you leave things?â he asked.
âTheyâve asked for a few more days. We tried to get an earlier date but they wouldnât budge. Weâve agreed to a videoconference on Friday.â
âThatâs unacceptable. Iâm not waiting another five days. Call them back. Tell them I want the Ishikawa brothers in conference tomorrow.â
âYes, sir.â
About to hang up, Alejandro sensed his executiveâs reticence. âIs there something else?â
