Companionship is a good thing.
Relationships are not.
My name is Emily Wade and I was raised to believe that happily ever
after didn't exist. That relationships were doomed before they even
started, and that as long as the attraction to someone is purely
physical, life is uncomplicated and good. I lived by that and was
probably the only anti-relationship person in the world. I found myself
in the midst of so much man drama that I decided to take a hiatus from
the dating world. Until I met the brutally handsome CEO of Caine
Property Development & Management, Jackson Caine. He was as
anti-relationship as I was and wanted to negotiate a deal that would let
us have our cake and eat it too.
My mother was on her fourth husband.
My father was on his fifth wife.
My name is Jackson Caine and I grew up in a world where I was taught
that nothing lasts forever. I saw and lived the destruction each
relationship my parents had and it was something I never wanted. I was
career-driven, successful, the boss of my own life, and as
anti-relationship as one could be. I'd had my fill of women and the
drama that went with them. Until I met Emily Wade. A beautiful woman who
understood and shared the same thoughts I did. We were the perfect
companions for each other. No complications, no drama, and certainly no
commitment, ever. We negotiated a deal that would suit both of us, and
as long as no one broke the rules that were set in place, we both could
have our cake and eat it too.
Until...
