He wasn’t always this rich. This hot. This difficult.
Aaric Christos was a guy who protected me. Wanted me. Maybe even loved me.
That man is gone.
In his place is the most powerful real estate tycoon in the city.
He’s a cold, ruthless, aggressive businessman.
The only one who can save me and my startup from ruin.
It takes every ounce of courage to put my pride aside and ask for his help.
I didn’t expect him to offer it easily.
And he doesn’t.
Instead, he vets me harder than he’s vetted anyone.
Don’t invest in what you don’t know, he says.
He's assessing every piece of me, to the point I've never felt so bare.
I yearn for the boy I once knew, whose touch once craved me.
Putting it all on the line will be worth it, I tell myself.
Until I realize—too late—that some risks are not worth taking.

Bryn seems to be a fickle one when it comes to Christos. As her story goes it makes more sense. Christos is his last name I would have thought since they were friends as kids she would only call him Aaric but it was both throughout the book. They are brought back together when she needs money for her start up company and Christos is her last option. It's hard to say where things are going there's a lot of push and pull. When they finally push to stay together it all goes to hell and there's a situation to get through. There were a few sex scenes. Ending was good.
