My name is Hillary Clarke. I’m twenty-four years old, newly engaged to my Prince Charming, Jake Brown and I just landed a new job. Jake and I have been together for four years, ever since college, and nothing makes me happier than the fact that he proposed to me a month ago. I wear his ring with pride because I’m obsessed with him, and all I want is to build a family with Jake. We want to move quickly—get married, buy a house, and settle down in Boston within eight months, even though we’re still young. We’ve been working hard and tirelessly to make this happen but dreams don’t come cheap. Jake has a good job, but me? Not so much. Thanks to Jake, I just got a new job… working for his older brother, Bentley Brown. Bentley’s reputation precedes him. He’s arrogant, rude, and full of pride—all because of his devastatingly good looks and the company he started at twelve that made him a billionaire by twenty-seven. But he is also hot, charming, intoxicating and he has this dangerous pull that can drag you straight to your ruin. They call it the Bentley Effect. Would it work on me? I hate my new boss. He gets under my skin… and under my dress too.

To Nicole, he's her arrogant, obsessive boss. To Timothy, she's the one woman he cannot release.

My fingers brushed against his arm, just enough to make the heat between us undeniable. “Don’t…” he murmured, his voice a low growl that sent a shiver down my spine. But I didn’t move away. I couldn’t. His presence was too much, too magnetic. My body hummed with a hunger I didn’t know how to quiet.
