She thought she met the angel of her dreams, but is he too good to be true? Angelo Tsarkopolis is the sexy hotshot and gorgeous CEO of his family's fortune. A chance encounter with Laura Parker is the catalyst to a flirtatious cat and mouse game between them. On the surface, he is her dream man and more. However, shady rumors surround his business, women throw themselves at him, and she fears he isn’t telling her everything. Angelo appears to only have eyes for Laura, but she can’t believe a young, wealthy, incredibly handsome and successful businessman like him could hold more than a passing interest in her, an average girl. She tries not to be another notch on his bedpost, but that’s getting harder with each passing day. Laura tries to temper the flames of passion, but they only grow hotter. Is she in over her head and will he break her heart for good?

Prologue
“Dammit!” Laura said as she spilled her coffee on her light floral blouse. She hadn’t seen the crack in the sidewalk as she was juggling her bag and coffee cup, trying to keep up with the foot traffic. “Just great. I hate Mondays,” she mumbled to herself as people hurried past her on their way to work on this bright, sunny day. She silently scolded herself for trying to cram a last-minute errand in before work. She carried on as she reached into her bag to pull out a napkin. She tried to wipe the coffee off, but only succeeded in rubbing it in further. Not looking up from tending to the stain, she bumped into a man, hard. “Ouch!” she exclaimed, but then realized she had spilled more coffee, this time on him. “Oh no, I’m so sorry.” Automatically she reached out with her napkin, already half-stained with coffee to wipe the coffee off of his suit sleeve. The man intercepted her hand. She looked up, expecting to see a disapproving frown and to be chastised for not watching

Chapter 1
After work, Laura met her best friend Sarah at their favorite lounge, Painter’s Cove in Brooklyn. It was a cozy little place with live music and murals all over the walls, which were painted by local artists. Laura loved the place. It was their neighborhood haunt. The drinks weren’t too expensive and the people were friendly and welcoming. Not like the places in Manhattan, where they felt the heat of condescending, disapproving looks for not being up to snuff. The two 28-year old friends had tried it once, but had felt very uncomfortable with the rest of the patrons. The women looked like they came straight of the fashion magazines they were so done up and wearing expensive designer clothes and shoes. They were also stick thin, unlike Laura's and Sarah’s curvier forms. The girls also got sticker shock once the bill came. It was $20 plus tip for each of their glasses of wine. Way out of their budgets. Since then, they had stuck closer to home, where they fit in and didn’t h

Chapter 2
A week went by and Laura had still been working late nonstop at her advertising representative job at Kinetic Advertising. She was exhausted. Adding in her commute time from Brooklyn to Manhattan, it made for very long days. She dreamed of one day living in Manhattan, but her finances made that an impossibility for the foreseeable future. Her boss, Raquel, one of the partners in the firm, was making her work long hours on a new campaign for their latest client. Sarah had been hounding her to make contact with Angelo, but then work took a turn for the worse. She was starting earlier, working through lunch, and eating dinner at her desk. She was exhausted, stressed out, and wasn’t up for making a call to a practical stranger. She had no time to go out right now anyway. Laura wanted to work her way up in the advertising world, but she knew it would be uphill all the way. Unfortunately, it seemed right from the beginning she had a testy relationship with her boss. Although R

“Do you need to go?” he asked. He gave her a compelling look, one that said, Don’t go. “No, I’ve got a couple of minutes,” she said, now gazing at his pillowy lips. She thought of how good it would likely feel to kiss them. “Good,” he replied. “There a table over there,” he said, pointing to a cozy corner spot. “Allow me,” he said, as he reached for her work bag. “Okay, thanks,” she said, trying to come out of the erogenous trance he had her in. His hand brushed her shoulder ever so slightly as he took the bag off of her shoulder. Her skin tingled with exhilaration. Calm down, girl, she admonished herself. She was stunned by the strong reaction she had to this man. Angelo pulled out a chair for her. She sat down. She straightened out her slim-fitting skirt that had ridden up her legs a little. He stole a glance at her shapely legs as she adjusted her black skirt and then placed her workbag on an extra chair. He slid the other chair a bit closer to hers and

Laura called Sarah that night. “Hi, it’s me,” she said as she flopped on her bed, feeling completely drained. “Hey, what’s up? I was wondering when I was going to hear from you.” “I know, I’m sorry. Work has been nuts again. More overtime.” She grabbed a cushion and held it to her stomach. Jasper jumped up next to her, settling down on her comforter. “Again? Is she ever going to pay you for all that overtime?” “It doesn’t work like that,” Laura said. “I have to prove myself, work my way up the ladder. This is part of paying my dues.” Sarah scoffed. “It sounds like she’s getting free labor for Kinetic Advertising and taking advantage of someone younger than her, who’s just building their career, just because she can intimidate them.” “Yeah, that probably sums it up. She doesn’t even say thanks or offer to get dinner in.” Laura was twisting her hair with her fingers. “You know, I’m starting to think less that she’s making you prove yourself, and more that

Laura walked into the office the next morning a little bleary-eyed and foggy-brained. She’d had trouble sleeping, wondering when or if Angelo would call, even though it had only been one day. He was already consuming her thoughts. As a result, she was running late and hadn’t had time to stop for a coffee. Not that she expected him to be there again. She was just longing for a good, strong brew. Raquel came charging around the corner, her high platform heels clicking on the warm, honey-colored hardwood floors that were present throughout the Kinetic offices, except for the corner offices and conference rooms. “Good, you’re here. Come with me. We have a big day ahead of us.” “What’s going on?” Laura asked as she followed her. She dropped her bags off at her desk as they passed by. She threw her coat on top of them and hurried after her boss. The walls of Kinetic were adorned with abstract paintings from local artists. It was one of the ways they supported the community a

Laura was dumbfounded. She felt like she was going to faint. Her face turned beet red and she felt herself starting to perspire again. Her mind swirled in a heightened state of shock and panic. Angelo made eye contact with her, the look of surprise clearly spreading across his face. His lips broadened into a smile. Laura just looked at him. She felt frozen in place. Angelo introduced himself to Raquel, holding out his hand. “Delighted to meet you, Mr. Tsarkopolis,” Raquel said, noticeably impressed. She took in his tall, well-built physique, grinning like the proverbial cat that was about to eat the canary. “Please, call me Angelo,” he said. His dark hair, still slightly mussed up,was tamed a bit for the meeting. “Of course. Angelo,” Raquel said in a low, seductive voice. “Welcome to Kinetic Advertising.” Laura's heart fell through to the floor. Jennifer stood there, wide-eyed, admiring the tall, dark and handsome, and obviously successful Mr. Tsark

That night after work, Laura picked up the phone and called her best friend. “Sarah,” Laura said, “it’s me. I hope you don’t think I’m crazy, but I need your help.” “Sure, with what?” “I need your reporter skills. There’s a problem I’d like you to investigate.” “Of course,” she said. “Are you in trouble?” “Not me, someone else.” She hesitated. She wasn’t altogether sure if she should be doing this. “Who then?” “It’s about Angelo’s business,” she said. “Say what?” “I don’t want to talk about it over the phone, can you come over?” “Yeah, of course, you’ve got me curious. I’m just having dinner, can I come by in about an hour?” “Sounds good, thanks,” Laura said. “See you then,” Sarah said and hung up the phone. Laura decided to make some notes while she waited. She sat down at her computer and did a search for negative news on Tsar Enterprises. She found over a dozen instances. All recent. All saying similar things. All anonymous. S

The next day Laura arrived for work on time, Coffee Haven coffee in hand. “Morning, Jennifer,” she said brightly. “Hi, Laura,” she said in a funny tone. She had a huge smirk on her face. “So, care to fill me in on the handsome Mr. Tsarkopolis?” Laura blushed. “Um, not yet. There’s not really anything to tell at this point.” “That’s a load of crap if I ever heard one. Spill it, girl,” she said, shaking a finger at her. Laura hesitated. “Not yet. But soon. When there’s something more to tell.” She gave her a playful wink, and then started to head towards her desk. “You’d better!” Jennifer called out after her. “Inquiring minds want to know!” Laura chuckled. She took at seat at her desk, turned on her computer and took a long sip of coffee. She savored it for a moment. The perfect blend. Just then, Raquel came sauntering by. “Laura, I need you to pull some information for me.” Again, no good morning, no how are you. Laura silently fumed. “

Chapter 9
Laura slept fitfully that night. Her phone never rang. She had waited so long, hoping it would ring, that it was too late to call Sarah by the time she finally realized that Angelo wasn’t going to call. How did he think it was okay not to call her under the circumstances? With her boss brazenly hitting on him? she wondered. She was tied in knots. He obviously didn’t care. On one hand, she dreaded going into work that morning, and yet on the other, she was anxious to get there to get a sense of where things were at. She walked past Coffee Haven. She hesitated, considering going in, but decided to keep walking out of spite. He probably wasn’t in there anyway, she told herself. Just keep walking and don’t let them make a bigger fool out of you. She reached the office and went around back to see if Raquel’s car was there. It wasn’t. She set her shoulders and tried to quell the upset feelings that were gripping her. She’d definitely be calling Sarah tonight. She’d give her
