Athena Monroe is in pieces. She has just walked in on her boyfriend in bed with someone else! As she cries on the street someone approaches her to check she is ok. Enter Ryder Pearce - gorgeous, fit and, as she discovers later, rich!
Against her better judgement Athena allows Ryder to buy her a drink. The next day a chauffeur driven car arrives with instructions from the driver to bring her for brunch with Ryder. She declines and thinks nothing more of it.
Athena moves her life on, securing a new job as her job as an author doesn't tend to bring in a lot of money. On her first day she discovers her new boss is none other than Ryder Pearce.
Pearce is obviously attracted to Athena, and he pursues her. Athena eventually relents and begins to let him get closer. But then she discovers a few things which could shatter their fledgling relationship. Pearce is so smooth, he has a reason and excuse for everything he does. Will he be able to talk Athena round though? Has he gone too far in his pursuit of her? Only time will tell.
This is quite a short story, but it covers a lot within its pages. The relationship between the main characters is intense to say the least. The author has written a good short story which kept my attention well. There were a few parts which I thought were unnecessary, the story could have done without it and been the same, but there is always a reason for certain chapters I guess. All in all a good read. I am interested to see what the author has in store for these characters as I believe she has a sequel planned.
