Ryder is back in town to deal with his deceased father's will, and he's not the boy he'd been when he'd left. He's a man now, a scarred and bittered one with a plan to revenge the dirt that had been done to him by his late father's friends when he'd been younger. And he knew exactly where to start! Everything in Bree's life is suddenly crashing to nothing. From finding her boyfriend in bed with her long legged blonde neighbor, to having him disappear with all her life's savings. Her only chance of survival now, is the stranger at the bar with a deal she can't refuse. If only she'd known she was only a pawn in the CEO's revenge scheme...... Do you think these hearts might learn to love each other? What happens when secrets starts being revealed?

Stupid, stupid, stupid!Bree accused herself as she pushed open the door to her favorite down town bar.It's seen her at her worst and this was one of those days she just needed to drown herself in the flavored alcohol they sold here.Her lacrimal glands were failing her as tears made their way down her perfectly made up face, ruining hours of trying and perfection.Ughhhh!She'd rather not waste her precious bodily fluids on the low life scum she'd wasted her years with.Cole didn't deserve her tears in any way, never have.She dragged her ass over to the bar and dropped her weight on the first vacant bar stool she saw, not sparing a glance at the other occupant of the space.There was a new guy tending the bar and not her go to guy, Jerry.Of course, just typical of the universe to go against her on this very horrible day and have her favorite bar tender gone too."What will you have, pretty?"

Is this story complete? It doesn't seem so. I was looking forward to seeing how it ends, but updates just spotted after a bunch of "don't unlock yet" chapters.

The first six chapters are soooo intriguing. Ryder seems to be hiding so much and Bree seems so innocent. I can't wait to finish reading the rest of the updates.

CHAPTER ONE

Stupid, stupid, stupid!Bree accused herself as she pushed open the door to her favorite down town bar.It's seen her at her worst and this was one of those days she just needed to drown herself in the flavored alcohol they sold here.Her lacrimal glands were failing her as tears made their way down her perfectly made up face, ruining hours of trying and perfection.Ughhhh!She'd rather not waste her precious bodily fluids on the low life scum she'd wasted her years with.Cole didn't deserve her tears in any way, never have.She dragged her ass over to the bar and dropped her weight on the first vacant bar stool she saw, not sparing a glance at the other occupant of the space.There was a new guy tending the bar and not her go to guy, Jerry.Of course, just typical of the universe to go against her on this very horrible day and have her favorite bar tender gone too."What will you have, pretty?"

CHAPTER TWO

Bree woke up totally hung over with a headache threatening to blow her head open.She knew she'd look like someone out of a zombie apocalypse movie, with her hair all over her face, but that was the least of her worries.The throbbing in her head was borderline unbearable and it hurt to even move, but if it was any consolation, the bed she was in was just as comfy as it was soft.Feather soft and definitely too good to be hers.She cracked an eyelid open even though all she wanted to do was crawl in some very dark hole to nurse her throbbing head with an extra dose of sleep.One look around confirmed her fears that this in fact wasn't her room.The only reason she wasn't screaming yet was because she wasn't in any form of restraints or confinement.That was a good sign right?And yeah, you guessed it, it'd hurt like a scalded bitch if she tried.She rolled out of the king sized bed, dragging her sore, rebelling body out.Ho

CHAPTER THREE

Bree's host didn't like having the control of his kitchen whisked away from him and he looked it.But she didn't give a dam about it.The only other option would have been to let him get something burning again or spend all morning trying.She wasn't a fan of the former neither did she have all morning to dedicate to his endless and utterly unsuccessful culinary practice.She finished up with the food and went on to serve it with no help whatsoever from Sir Broods-alot.Standing by the table she'd set, she waited, meeting his glare with an unwavering stare of her own until he caved in and pulled himself a seat.They silently dug into their food, a heavy silence swallowing them and disconcerting Bree.The only sound in the room was of their breathing and of cutleries meeting fine china.She waited until they were both done eating before she asked the one question that's been niggling her mind since she woke up in the room that wasn't he

CHAPTER FOUR

Bree stood from the table abruptly, clearing it of the plates they'd used to eat as she did.Her mind was caught in the offer he'd just made her.He's a stranger yes, but she been the one to open up to him and now he was offering her a way to the revenge she deserved.She could have easily agreed to his terms and conditions but she needed time to think this through and decide it's what she wanted.If she was doing this, it means  she'd have to get used to him whose name she still didn't know and she'd also have to get used to his potty mouth and searing bluntness.It didn't help that she'll also have to learn enough control to keep her hands to herself and her thoughts out of the drain around him.He'd been very clear and precise on the 'no strings attached' point and if she was going to keep to that, she'd have to not get involved with him at all.Well fuckedy fuck-ery', isn't that just peachy."You asked how you got here...."

CHAPTER FIVE

It's been so long since the last time Ryder had been in this house, before now.He'd been just a boy the last time he'd stood in this hallway, staring at the pictures that lined it's length.The years he'd spent growing up here were the memories he was trying to let go of, he hated them most.Just like he hated Paul.And he'd made sure the man knew how much.His eyes ran down the pictures in their gold frame that cost more than an averagely priced car.He'd left with a vow to never come back here but yet, here he was, breaking that vow because fucking Paul had decided to have one more up on him even in death by willing all his assets to him - the estranged son.Not that he needed any of it, he was a fucking boss of his own now, but not dealing with this will only let it accumulate tax and come ass biting in the future.It grated his nerves more, knowing that he should have been on a vacation at some exotic location of his choic

CHAPTER SIX

Bree's morning wasn't anything that she'd thought It would be.No, if anything, it had only gotten worse from the moment she'd stepped out of 'Mr saving stranger's gate this morning.The thought of sticking to his plan and keeping her end of their bargain had bugged her all morning till it was the only thing in her head, almost suffocating her.Of course, she'd needed an out, a breath of air that didn't remind her of her predicament.And that had been why she'd left his mansion of a house in the first place.Damn, the man had the money and he knew how to spend it too.It didn't take rocket science to realise the place she'd been brought to last night was one of the most affluent neighborhoods in this side of town, once she'd stepped outside his gates.You know, the type where everything is just too luxurious and over priced and everyone is expected to own at the least a ride or two.It had sucked like soggy pasta having to ferry hersel

CHAPTER SEVEN

Ryder woke with a throbbing head and eyes that hurt too much to keep open, to the ringing of his phone.He reached blindly for the annoying device, sliding his fingers across the across the screen to accept the call and shut it the fuck up."Ryder."He barked into the phone, his tone commanding and demanding immediate response."Hi, this is Roger Daniel, your father's lawyer. Didn't hear back from you concerning his will so I'm calling to check up with you."Ryder would have rather he didn't call and not so early too.Who the fuck calls someone this early in the morning."My house, 12pm." he said, his voice more threatening than informing.There were mumbles of disagreement that he didn't give a fuck about from the other end of the line just as he ended the call.He dumped the phone on his nightstand trying not to give in to the temptation of calling back at his office back at New York.He'd promised his team he'd take this

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Don't look at me like that, little one." Ryder said, as he stepped away from Bree.For a second there, he'd come as close as fuck to breaking the boundaries they'd unofficially set and take her against his door.She'd wanted it too, he'd seen the lust burn in her eyes, but he'd pulled back last minute.The timing was wrong.He plan to take her every which way she can offer, it was in the cards he'd offered, but not now, not this way.When he do take her, he wanted her to need not want him and he wanted that not so subtle look of guilt that had clouded her eyes gone.And when he gets buried so deep inside her, he wanted to see only raw desire for him taking her to a small rapture, nothing else."Like what?" her small, questioning voice queried, piercing through the fog of his thoughts."Like making you look at me like this is punishing." He deadpa

CHAPTER NINE

The meeting with the lawyer took more time than Ryder had given it credit for.Apparently, Paul had been a better business man than he'd been a father.He had a long list of successful business exploits and investments, all of which Ryder is supposed to inherit now.If things had been different, it might have made him happy to accept this, but now, it only left a void inside him that only keeps widening and getting darker, eating him up from the insides.This felt like a payoff for the nightmares he'd endured at hands of these men.And a payoff is not what he needed, he wanted his revenge for the nights he cried himself to sleep, begging for death because he hated himself.It had taken a lot of therapy and compartmentalizing to deal with the shit they'd dunked him in, he wasn't taking this as a plea.No, he was taking it out of spite, resolved to burn down all that his old man had suffered for, like a raging inferno. He'd zoned o

CHAPTER TEN

Oh God!Bree has always known of her attraction to her host, from that still hazy first night at the bar to the morning after when she'd walked into his kitchen to find him shirtless and on his way to burning down the damn room in an attempt to cook.But that electrifying bolt of desire that had shot through her at the brief press of his supple lips against hers, that had been unexpected.And she wasn't sure she liked it, no she didn't.She hadn't seen that one coming. He shouldn't have kissed her for God's sake.She'd caught onto his game at some point after she'd interrupted their meeting, figured he'd been trying to give the lawyer Something to talk about when he leaves.You know, get the word spread across town faster, of their little involvement, with only little effort, and they'd been doing fine without the kiss.She's fickle and confused enough at the moment to add a sizzling sexual desire.And her body wasn't listening to the
