About the book
A flirty encounter between two strangers takes a forbidden turn when the identity of the dark, brooding businessman is revealed with barely a second to spare… Isabelle: He’s forbidden. Off limits. But I crave him more than anything. Sparks ignited when I fell at Isaac Holt’s feet—literally. His unique-colored eyes held an arsenal of secrets, but the undeniable connection between the devilishly handsome businessman and me was undeniable. With lines crossed, and a date penciled in, things were set to get roasting… Then fate intervened. Even being my first week on the job won’t alter the facts. Rookie agents aren’t allowed to date their targets. Isaac: For years, nothing diverted my attention from my goals and aspirations. Nothing at all… until I saw. The instant my eyes landed on Isabelle sprawled at my feet, I knew she’d be my eternal weakness. Her beautiful chocolate eyes, cupid’s bow lips, and alluring body catapulted my interest to a never-before-reached level. If she hadn’t been on her period, I would have claimed her in that washroom thirty thousand feet in the air. Alas, it seems as if more than womanly issues are between us. I won’t give up, though. Failure is not in my vocabulary. I fought to get where I am, and I’ll fight to keep it. Making Isabelle mine will be my riskiest endeavor to date, but also the most rewarding. I’ll make sure of it.
