Restraint

Blaire Gibson has a rule against one-night stands.Actually, she has a lot of rules. They're the reason her life is organized, predictable, and mostly drama-free.Then she meets Holt Mason, a billionaire CEO with a wicked smile and absolutely no respect for her carefully constructed boundaries.One night with Holt is supposed to be exactly that—one night. Instead, it turns into an arrangement that makes perfect sense on paper and absolutely none where her heart is concerned.Holt has spent his life winning in business, in negotiations, and always in relationships. But Blaire isn't impressed by his money, his influence, or his reputation. If anything, she seems determined to keep him at arm's length. It only makes him want her more.As their temporary arrangement begins to feel anything but temporary, Holt and Blaire find themselves sharing more than late nights and secret conversations. They're sharing fears, dreams, and pieces of themselves they never intended to give away.The problem?The more real this becomes, the harder it will be to walk away when it's over.
