He’s falling hard…right into the walls she's put up between them.
Former Army Captain Vanessa Emerson wants one thing. Control. After being held captive by terrorists, her world is still wrapped in anxiety and PTSD, and the last thing she needs is a man. Especially not Damian Scott: billionaire developer, philanthropist, and walking suit ad. But when he makes her an offer she can’t refuse to head a housing project for disabled veterans, suddenly he’s got a new title—Boss. Worse, he’s far too charming for his own good and has a habit of pushing all her buttons.
Damian Scott has everything money can buy, except the one thing he craves: a woman who challenges him. Vanessa. Smart, irreverent, and utterly unimpressed by his wealth, she’s the only person who makes him feel like a real man instead of a walking bank account. When the town matchmaker gives them both a love prediction, Damian finally has a little help to prove to Vanessa that he’s more than a suit with a fortune—and that what she’s been avoiding looks a lot like love.
