Synopsis:
Hailey
Mitchel wants one thing. Her boss. The only problem is he’s never looked at her
as more than a loyal employee. At least, not until his charming business rival,
Caleb, drops into her life with an offer she can’t refuse. He’s willing to bet
he can make her fall in love with him in a month, and if he’s wrong, he’ll help
her find the keys to her boss’s heart.
Caleb
Langston wants one thing. Revenge. Hailey is his ticket to finally evening the
score with his old adversary. There’s just one problem. The more time he spends
with her, the less he cares about his grand plans for payback. But love is
always a gamble, and soon he’ll have to choose between his past and his future.
And pray Hailey never discovers the secret he’s been hiding from her.

Excerpt:
“I’m
attracted to men of substance. Guess that rules you out.”
“But
not my rival. Alec is your paragon of honor, isn’t he?”
“He’s
an excellent man,” she agreed.
“One
you just wish would walk over to your desk and sweep you off your feet,
carrying you out into the sunset.”
“I’d
probably break his back, and we’d both end up on the floor.”
His
gaze raked down her body. “I’d be willing to risk it.”
“Luckily,
you’ll never have to.”
His
eyes returned to hers. “Why not just tell him?” he asked. “Confess your undying
devotion and see what he does?”
She
knew what he’s do. He’d get flustered trying to figure out how to tell her he
didn’t return her affections. She wasn’t petite or blond, two things all his
previous paramours had in common.
She
wasn’t pursuing a career in acting, and she didn’t have trouble calculating the
percentage of a tip. Worse, she didn’t come from old money the way Caleb and
Alec did. She hadn’t grown up in that privileged world, didn’t understand the
deeply ingrained rules. Alec had said more than once that when he settled down,
it’d be to make a good alliance for his family. Keep all that lovely money in
the right bloodlines.
No,
she was nothing like the woman he would eventually fall in love with.
Not
that logic stopped her from wishing for the impossible every now and then.
“You
don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“All
right.” Caleb straightened from the bar. “Why don’t I go ask him these
questions and see what he thinks?”
Her
fingers sank into his arm before he could move.
“Don’t.”
The
movement had been a mistake. An admission. A certainty filled his expression
that hadn’t been there a moment ago.
She
shook her head, knowing she was steering toward a cliff. “What do you want?”
What would buy his silence?
“I
want many things,” he said, swirling the liquor in his glass. “Chief among them
is you.”
“It’s
just because you love the chase,” she said, rolling her eyes. “We’d never
work.”
“Maybe,”
he replied with a shrug. “But it’d be fun to try.”
“I’m
not sleeping with you in order to keep your mouth shut.”
“I
don’t remember asking you to.”
She
resisted the urge to stamp her foot. “Then what are you asking?”
“I’m
going to make you a bet,” he said, his eyes capturing hers. “Give me one
month.”
“To
do what?”
“Make
you fall in love with me.”

Info:
Victoria
Davies’s passion for writing started young. Luckily she had a family who
encouraged believing in magic and embracing imagination. From stories quickly
scribbled in diaries, her love of storytelling developed. Since then her
characters may have evolved and her plots may have grown decidedly more steamy
but she never lost her love of the written word. Writing is not only a way to
silence the wonderful voices in her head, but it also allows her to share her
passions with her readers.
