Unfortunately, her billionaire boss is determined to keep Piper in the dark, especially about his past. But little does she know, her warm presence is making him think about his future for the first time in years, a future he increasingly hopes she'll be a part of.

Excerpt
The hint of a smile drew his lips to one side, and his face came so close I thought he might kiss me again. “I need to be with someone I can trust, Piper. Someone who trusts me.”
“I trust you,” I whispered.
“Yet you play games.”
My breath shallowed. “It doesn’t feel like I’m playing.”
“Good,” he said. “Because I am not a cat, and you are not a mouse.”
“What is this then?” I asked, my heart hammering in my chest. “Because I’m not your guest either. So what am I? Your dirty little secret? Do you sleep with all your personal employees or-?”
“Are you questioning my professionalism?”
“No,” I lied. “I just want to know what your intentions were last night.”
“Simple.” He locked his eyes on mine. “To make you earn all those baths you’ve been taking.”
I swallowed. “You think I’m taking too many baths?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know how dirty you are.”
“Ash-”
He stepped forward, pinning me against the counter with his hips so I could feel his hard length against my stomach as it swelled in his track pants.
I leaned back, letting his eyes sweep over my face like we were a couple on the cover of an old romance novel, and by the time his gaze settled on my lips, they were parted and ready for him.
“Don’t ever play games with me again,” he said, his hard-on still burning against my belly. Then he stepped back, retrieved his espresso from the machine, and walked away.
“Wait,” I said, glancing over my shoulder at the breakfast I’d made. “Aren’t you hungry?”
“Yes,” he said without turning around. “But not for eggs.”
My chest finally relaxed when he disappeared down the hall, but a gentle smile tugged at my lips when I realized he wanted me back, wanted me still. Wanted me bad.
“I trust you,” I whispered.
“Yet you play games.”
My breath shallowed. “It doesn’t feel like I’m playing.”
“Good,” he said. “Because I am not a cat, and you are not a mouse.”

This story is your classic new adult, college romance story and it was exactly what I needed to break up all the angsty, emotional drama I have been reading lately. I am a big fan of the whole manwhore getting his arse kicked by love thing. And this was that to a T.
Nina was such a sweetheart but she made all the classic stupid girl mistakes that drive me a little crazy. And while I understood that she was trying to prevent getting her heart broken I just wanted to shake her and tell her to use her big girl words.
Carter, well he was Carter and honestly I think I cut these guys so much slack because let's face it teenage boys/young men are stupid. They do ( with few exceptions) think mostly with their little head and Carter wasn't one of the exceptions.
And honestly if this book wasn't written in dual points of view I would have hated it. But getting to know them both and what they were thinking and feeling I was able to forgive them both their stupidity and hope that they would set aside their pride and actually let the other know what they were feeling.
But then as I said this was a typical new adult, college romance and I got exactly what I expected and it was exactly what I needed and having seen the blurb for the next book I am looking forward to Sadie and who I am assuming is Carter's brother's story.
