TOO TEMPTING TO HIRE
TOO TEMPTING TO HIRE
“Getting a job was supposed to change her life. She never expected the job to change her entire world. When twenty-four-year-old Sophia Bennett walks into the interview room at one of New York's most powerful companies, she has one goal: get hired, earn enough money to clear her family's debts, and finally leave her struggles behind. But her interviewer is not an ordinary employer. Alexander Blackwood is a ruthless billionaire CEO known for his sharp tongue, impossible standards and complete lack of patience. He has built an empire by never allowing emotions to interfere with business. And he certainly doesn't hire people who challenge him. Sophia does exactly that. Their first meeting ends in an argument. Their second leaves him questioning his decision. And by the third, Alexander makes an unexpected offer: a personal assistant position with a salary so generous that Sophia cannot afford to refuse. There is just one problem. Working for Alexander means dealing with his impossible demands, his unpredictable temper and a private world filled with rules she never agreed to follow. Sophia is determined to keep things professional. Alexander is determined to remain in control. But the closer they work together, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension growing between them. Then Sophia discovers that her employment at Blackwood Enterprises may not have been as accidental as she believed. Someone wanted her inside that company. And Alexander Blackwood knows more about her than he is willing to admit. She came for a salary. He hired her for a reason. But what happens when the woman he thought he could control becomes the one person capable of turning his carefully controlled world upside down? Sometimes, the most dangerous decision a billionaire can make is hiring the wrong woman.”
