Summary
from Goodreads:
Armed with her besties, an embarrassing number of shots, and her list of
10 Wild Things To Do Before Adulthood, recent grad Cameron Lawson is partying
it up before she starts her dream job at New York's biggest ad agency. Her last
task? Hook up with a random guy. And while it's so not her style, the super-sexy
guy sitting next to her is definitely game. No names. No details.
At least, that was the plan.
On her first day of work, Cameron discovers her hook-up is none other
than Aidan Truitt—her new boss's boss. Talk about failing the “no fraternizing
with coworkers” policy on an epic level. Especially when Aidan makes it clear
their one night was only the beginning. Falling for him could cost her
everything, but sometimes the only way to get what you want is by breaking a
few rules...

Excerpt
“This
is a private conversation.”
The
guy grinned. “Well, then you might want to tell your voice that. Pretty sure
the whole bar heard you.”
My
eyes widened before narrowing in on him. “Let me guess—fall retreat in New York
City? Oh, how big and bad you all must feel.”
This
time he spun around to face me, leaning in so his scent hit me full force. And
dear. Heaven. Above. I drew a breath, fighting the urge to sigh. Mild cologne,
with a hint of soap. Entirely man. Entirely sexy.
Chocolate-brown
eyes, framed in full, dark lashes, stared at me from below the bill of his hat,
hints of dirty-blond hair peeking out at random—at his temples, tickling his
neck. Suddenly, I wanted to take back all my words and begin again with, “Hi,
I’m Cameron,” though I feared it would come out, “Holy hell, you’re hot.” I
drew a breath to calm myself down, and he edged still closer.
“Look,
I get it. You’re the good girl to their bad. Every group’s got one, and now
they’re trying to force you over to the dark side. One night, right?” His gaze
raked over me, no hint of subtlety, and though a part of me wanted to tell him
to take those roaming eyes elsewhere, another part was curious. “And I bet
you’re tempted,” he said, reading my thoughts. “I bet you told yourself you
needed this, and you’d be right. You do.”
“What
do you know about me? With your UT hat and starched shirt. I mean, who the hell
dresses like that?”
He
laughed, the sound so damn sexy my insides screamed for me to shut up and go
along with whatever he had to say. “Not a Tennessee fan, huh?” He cocked his
head. “Let me guess—Georgia girl goes to NYU to prove she’s bigger than her
small town?”
I
swallowed hard, my insides boiling at his suggestion—and at how very close he
was. Switch out Alabama for Georgia
and he’d have pegged me perfectly. Somehow, being read so easily made me want
to get away from him. Fast. “Think whatever you like. I should get back to my
friends.” But when I turned, both Lauren and Grace were out in the bar, talking
it up with different guys, well on their way to winning the final task.
“Looks
like the bad girls are going to win this round.”
My
stomach tightened as I peered back over at him. How could someone so hot be so
infuriating? “Listen, I don’t
really need or want your opinion.”
“Perhaps.
But I’m guessing you could use my lips right about now.” He nodded toward the
back of the bar, where Lauren sat beside a tall guy with dark hair, her hand on
his chest, readying for the kiss. She leaned toward him, just as UT Guy flipped
around his baseball cap. “Ready whenever you are, good girl.”
I
spun back to tell him he could take his lips elsewhere, but then my eyes found
his, all wicked fire and sex, his legs slightly open, room for me to step
between them. He took my hand and tugged me closer. “Don’t think. Just do.” And
then his mouth found mine, first soft and warm, testing the feel of my lips,
the way we moved together. But then the alcohol in my veins seemed to spike,
attraction taking over, and I parted my lips, inviting him in, our tongues
tangling as he secured me to him. Warmth spread all through me, pooling lower
and lower until I felt sure I would lose myself right there in his arms. I’d
never been kissed like this, like nothing
else mattered, like time stood still. I didn’t want it to end.
