Her Scorching Billionaire (Tycoons of Pleasure Valley, #4)

A steamy billionaire office romance featuring a tattooed alpha CEO, a sharp-tongued first-year analyst who corrects him in front of his entire team, and a late night at the office that changes everything.

She was the most junior person in the room. He'd never been corrected in his life.

I noticed the tattoos first. Then the jaw. Then the number he got wrong.

I've been at Pleasure Valley Capital for nine months. I prepped the pitch books until 2 AM, caught an amended filing at six in the morning, and walked into a conference room full of senior bankers who didn't blink when the CEO of Forge cited the wrong number.

So I opened my mouth. He asked me to walk him through it. I did. Then he requested me on his deal. Not the team. Me.

Now I'm sitting on the couch in his corner office on the top floor of the Forge building, pretending I'm here for the IPO and not because every time he holds my gaze, I forget how to breathe.

I don't need a billionaire. I don't need anyone. I've been handling things since I was ten years old, and I'm not about to stop now just because a man with ink on his chest and a jaw that could cut glass decided to look at me like I'm the first person who ever told him no.

I've built everything I have on trusting my own judgment. Every bet, every risk, every decision that turned a company no one believed in into something undeniable. Nobody challenges me. Nobody corrects me. Nobody sits on my couch and takes apart my numbers without flinching and then looks at me with green eyes and a mouth that won't stop making me want to hear what she says next.

She doesn't care about the money. She doesn't care about the name. She cares about being right, and she is, and that's the most dangerous thing that's ever walked into my building. She's got walls I recognize because I built the same ones. She handles everything so no one can get close enough to matter. I'm not letting her handle me. I'm not letting her walk out of this office and pretend she didn't feel what just happened between us. She's mine. She just doesn't know it yet.

I don't do this. I don't need anyone. I don't stay. But he washed my hair in the shower like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and nobody has ever just taken care of something without me asking. I'm standing in my apartment and it sounds like my childhood. Silent. Managed. Empty. And my keys are still in my hand.
