Synopsis

They say you only regret the risks you don’t take…

Landing the role of assistant to Roman King, billionaire CEO of the King Group, feels like a lifeline after losing my supposedly “stable” job—until my new boss coldly informs me that I’m too inexperienced and should never have been hired.

I may be younger than his previous assistants, but life’s thrown me enough curveballs to handle anything—including him.

Except working so closely with Roman—powerful, controlled, and carrying the weight of a tarnished legacy—soon sparks an undeniable attraction.

And it seems I’m not the only one feeling it.

But Roman is on the verge of a deal that could redefine both his and the King Group’s future. The last thing he needs is a scandal.

Especially one that mirrors past sins.

With so much on the line for both of us, maintaining our professional boundaries should be the only option. Yet every heated glance, lingering touch, and charged encounter tempts us to take risks we know we shouldn’t.

I just hope neither of us will be left with regrets…

About the Author

L. M. Dalgleish is a life-long book lover who, as a child, used to shut herself in her bedroom with a good book and a packed lunch so she could spend all day reading. Her passion for romance novels began in the long sleepless nights following the birth of her first baby. Two more babies later and she’s still in love with strong, sassy heroines and sexy, but emotionally unavailable (at least to begin with) heroes.

She lives in Canberra, Australia, with her husband, three kids, and a very large, very fluffy cat. In her spare time, she enjoys hanging with her family, reading, eating too much pasta, and watching horror movies.
