Never chase a woman, never invest in a kiss he wasn’t sure would lead to more and never let his nose dictate where the rest of him went.

He had done all three.

For her.

She’s the exception in her family. With a big rack and a non-wheatish complexion, her mother has to get on a ladder to look into her eyes. Now that she’s done with Knotty Gurl, she’s proud to have found her niche in the flesh trade and her successful five-year plan. But what if her mother finds out how she made her millions? Plastic surgery comes to mind. Leaving the country is another option. Then grey eyes lock with hers across the crowded bar and she’s in a whole lot of other trouble. Regardless of how hot he is, she’s not going to fall for her mother’s plans for her.

A successful tech billionaire, he’s an upstanding member of his community and a loving yet dutiful son to his parents, loyal to family and all he loves. One woman has dominated his life. He adores her and has always taken her words to heart.

Until he sees the woman with the gorgeous hair and sparkly ankles. What he wants, he gets. He breaks all his rules with her and can’t stop himself from getting closer, her sexy tats beckoning him, her enticing scent unforgettable. He doesn’t approach her: a first for him. Then he smells her again at the Bridgerton-themed gala, chases after her and kisses her without knowing if there will be more which is yet another first for him. She keeps slipping away. Now he knows why: she has a secret. He intends to find out what it is and then he’ll make her his.
