We fear the unknown. Things we can’t understand. Everly I was different, and I lived my life as low key as possible. My childhood wasn’t easy, and relationships never worked out, so I stopped trying. I accepted the fact that I would more than likely grow old alone, and I was okay with that. The more men got to know me, the faster they ran. Then I met Asher Remington under unusual circumstances. For him, it was unusual, but for me, it was the norm. I was sent to New York to convince him not to go through with a merger that would end up destroying him and the company his father worked so hard to build. He thought I was crazy until he discovered the truth in what I had told him after he kicked me out of his hotel suite. My job was complete, and I needed to forget about him. But after spending one beautiful night together, it became impossible. The more time we spent together, the harder I fell. He was living in the shadow of a lie, only he didn’t know it. If we were to have a chance together, he needed to know the truth, and he needed to put the past to rest. Asher Everly King was crazy. She was the craziest yet most beautiful woman I’d ever known. We met under very unusual circumstances. She saved me from making what would have been the most destructive decision of my life. I owed her. After spending one night with her, I craved more. Even though there were things about her that frightened me, I didn’t want to stop seeing her. Then I let my guard down and feelings emerged. I couldn’t allow it, and I needed to stick by the decision I’d made several years ago after an incident determined the course of my life. I needed to forget about her and let her go. There was no “us,” and there never would be. The problem was the fear I had inside was giving in and it tried to reason with me. It kept asking the same thing over and over: what if you… Prologue I stood in the center of the ballroom as my eyes diverted to the corner where he stood. He was six feet two inches tall with brown hair that was meticulously cut in a classic crew style. The expensive black tuxedo he wore hugged his muscular body. With the slight turn of his head, he glanced my way. Blue eyes, sculpted cheekbones and a strong masculine jawline with a five o’clock shadow. The corners of his mouth curved upward as he stared at me. The small smile that graced his lips was approving, irresistible and infectious. The faint scent of his cologne lingered through the air. A scent made up of Bergamot, Sweet Persimmon and Patchouli. His gaze left mine as he exited through the large double doors. Holding up the silver sparkly long gown I wore, I ran across the room and followed him into the lobby of the hotel where I saw him walk out into the dark streets of the city. Suddenly, I found myself standing next to the mysterious and handsome man in front of a tall glass building. With his hands tucked tightly in his pants pockets, he looked up as the
