Love at the Top

Cassidy Romanelli is suffering from lack of a love life. After a devastating divorce, Cassidy just can’t seem to get back into the swing of things with men. She isn’t sure she even wants to in fact, as she is afraid to get her heart broken again. But one day in the park, she meets a stranger, a man who calls himself Alex Smith, and though he looks a bit like a vagabond, he is also funny and charming. When he asks her out on a date, she accepts despite her inner misgivings. Unfortunately, due to work, she has to break the date and Alex is upset. He wants to get to know Cassidy so they make plans for another date. Cassidy doesn’t expect to see Alex until Monday, but when she is called into the office of her new boss, whose face is sitting behind the desk but Alex Smith. He’s the mysterious and mega rich millionaire A.E. Haydon-Smith and he is just as shocked at seeing Cassidy as she is upon seeing him.

Cassidy is angered that Alex would lie to her about his identity and breaks off their date. Unfortunately, getting Alex out of her head isn’t so easy; especially as he makes her his new personnel assistant, to help him better understand the New York branch of his company. Also, Alex isn’t about to let Cassidy dismiss him. He’s never been so attracted to a woman and the fact that she doesn’t want him for his money only plays in her favor. Alex wants Cassidy and he’s not going to give up, but can Cassidy’s broken heart ever properly heal enough to love Alex back?
