Abbie Givens was grasping for help, any kind of help, as her cherished doughnut shop sunk fast into cruel water of business in the big city. She didn't think Mrs. Belling, her elderly friend and neighbor would know anyone who could help but she jumped at the chance anyway. Little did she know the kind friend Mrs. Belling had was the shark himself, young rogue billionaire Rafe Williams.

"The thing with you Abbie, is that you're afraid to say just exactly what you want, even to yourself."
I tried drawing a breath and realized I was struggling. But how could I not, when a magnificent male body was so casually displayed in front of me?
