Looking For Trouble

“Most of the time, when I tell someone to do something, they obey me, Presley. Maybe you need a gentle reminder?”
I wasn’t looking for trouble…at least that’s what I told myself when I met him.
Wrapped in a bespoke suit and twenty years older than me—Cyrus Gates, the heartless billionaire of Chicago and my new professor.

The funny thing is, he doesn’t remember that we’ve met before and it’s probably best for my sake that he doesn’t but that doesn’t stop me from reminding him.
I should have known in that second when his lips curled in a devious grin, his dark eyes raking their way slowly over my body as my stomach flipped…I’m merely the innocent little prey to his insatiable predator.

When I moved to Chicago for college, I promised myself I’d let loose but here I am in my last semester of grad school and I’m still the same good girl.
But inside, there’s someone else dying to break free.
A woman who wants to explore the world on her own terms.

With a reputation like his: cold, calculated and every bit the domineering powerhouse the world makes him out to be, Cyrus is the kind of man I should run from.
The kind of man that gets off on conquering anything and anyone

But he comes to me with an offer I can’t refuse—a publicist job at the most prestigious public relations firm in Chicago tasked with cleaning up his image.
The catch…he’s the client.

No matter how much I try to stand up to him, no matter how much I try to fight my desire, he can see straight through me.
Something inside me ignites, knowing a man this powerful wants me and has no shame expressing it.

But this isn’t just an innocent game of cat and mouse—it’s a lesson you learn the hard way.
He’s risking losing a multibillionaire dollar deal of a lifetime and I’m risking my career.

He warned me—he isn’t the kind of man you just walk away from unscathed, he’s the kind of trouble you don’t want…but I didn’t listen.

Instead, I dove in head first with a heart of glass, falling for a man who doesn’t have a heart at all.

But you know what they say about trouble…if you go looking for it, you’re probably going to find it. View Less
