I had it all figured out. Graduate college, move to Chicago, and start living the dream.
It was all going according to plan...until I got laid off after one week.
Refusing to admit failure and move back home, I take the next job opportunity I'm given and run with it. Believe me when I say, becoming an adult phone operator was not part of my life plan. And while I love my job, sometimes it's better to keep it a secret.
Especially from a man like Mason King. Devilishly perfect in every single way, even down to the way he smells. It should be a crime to be that flawless. Mason is bossy and persistent, and thinks he can bulldoze his way into my life and have me, in every sense of the word, but I don't plan to make it that easy for him.
Too bad my heart failed to get the memo. Traitor.
Mason
I'm a man who likes order, for things to be perfectly in place, and to get the bad guys. My time in the Marine Corps taught me that.
Now I run my own private security firm, where those beliefs are still firmly in place.
So, when I'm hired to learn all I can about a potential accomplice to a crime, by any means necessary, I never expected to fall for her. I never planned for her to bring disorder into my life.
