(Rewritten version of 'Playboy Rehab' - Wattys 2014 Winner) Leslie King is a publicist nestled in the heart of Los Angeles representing Garrett Harrison, president of Harrison Incorporated - one of the world's leading real estate and brokerage empires. Having had Garrett Harrison as her client for years, she has grown used to the uniformity in her job - not to mention the uniformity in her personal life. However, when Garrett Harrison shares the news of his retirement, Leslie's professional and personal life becomes anything but the harmonious routine she has grown used to. Sebastian Harrison - handsome Hollywood playboy and the youngest son of Garrett Harrison - enters Leslie's life in the most unusual of ways as she is asked to turn the King of Debauchery into a man fit and trusted enough to become the CEO of Harrison Incorporated. Even though Leslie vows to fulfill the expectations of the task handed to her, she soon discovers that Sebastian Harrison's past is darker and more complicated than what she has read and researched about him. Now, Leslie is caught between satisfying the expectations of her job description and helping the mysterious and twisted spirit that Sebastian Harrison possesses. Regardless of what choice she makes, Leslie knows that there is more to Sebastian Harrison than she could have ever prepared herself for.

CHAPTER 1

I, Leslie King, after years of being so blind and so naive to the truth in front of me, have finally seen the light.Not in terms of death or an innovative idea that could help progress society as we know it. No, more of a "spiritual" or "personal" sense of discovery.After a year with my loyal and successful boyfriend, Hudson Maximus Bradford...III, to be exact I have finally caught him in the act to counter argue the loyalty I so liked to believe was part of his nature.And out of all instances to catch him in said act, it had to be at my company fundraiser.And as I sit, lonely, unable to process the events that have occurred just one mere hour ago, everything else seems to make sense. My boyfriend, now ex

CHAPTER 2

The moment my eyes flutter open I realize that I have actually fallen asleep on my kitchen floor. I separate my eyelids and am welcomed to a blur before I see the world sideways. Pedro's head, the dishwasher, bottom cabinet, sunlight pouring in from my kitchen window, and the puddle of the little Moscatto left over spilled all over the floor; all sideways. Pedro is rapidly licking the wine off the floor. In my disoriented, head throbbing, muscle aching state, I don't have the energy to scold him for doing something as ridiculous as licking wine off of the floor. And during this moment I realize I am a horrible and irresponsible canine adoptive mother. I groan as I push myself up, hissing shortly after due to the new pain in my neck and lower back. Pedro sees I'm fully awake and

CHAPTER 3

Garret isn't moving, nor am I. Instead, we stare at each other like we each have two heads. Only difference is, I'm the one who looks like a complete fool in reality, with coffee dripping from my mouth."I'm...sorry, Sir I'll...clean up this mess." I finally say. I can feel my face tingle, and I know that a blush is creeping up to light that will eventually be impossible to hide.Garrett laughs as I quickly stand up. "Don't worry about it, Leslie. I'll call someone to clean this up."Still chuckling, Garrett gets up and walks to his desk. He looks small in comparison with the giant piece of polished Italian wood in front of him and huge windows that stand behind him.As Garrett picks up the phone on his desk, I finally take the

CHAPTER 4

An extra thirty minutes is needed to look through the unmentioned information on Sebastian Harrison, my new "client." Apparently I learned that he is allergic to peanuts and strawberries, stands six feet, two inches tall, and was part of the "Young Astronomers" club when he was nine at his prestigious and very expensive Los Angeles private school.Darcy, my timid yet oh-so reliable assistant, is internet surfing for alleged guest related intelligence on the Opera tomorrow night. Somehow, I'm certain she's actually watching cat videos like I've caught her doing before. Still, it's Sunday, and if I can have any type of preoccupation in Darcy's way to prevent her from asking me personal questions and referring me to her therapist, I'll take it gratefully."Andrea Bocelli is the headliner!" She abruptly exclaims.

CHAPTER 5

Even after Sebastian's presence is long gone, I still feel the lasting effects of him. And I don't like it.Not only is Sebastian's behavior something that can be categorized with the behavior of a womanizer and a brash twelve-year-old boy mixed together, his inability to accept the fact that not every woman will fall to his feet at his superior good looks and female-concentrated charisma makes me want to gag.So now I'm standing in front of the secretary's desk, trying to understand what on earth just happened. In truth, I feel excited at the thought of being flirted to, despite my effort to wade off his advances, but that excitement soon dissipates when I remember that Sebastian was only looking for a good lay.One thing I also remember, is that I have to work personally

CHAPTER 6

The theater lights dim around the entire complex, and when the brightness subsides, modest applause amplifies in the faint darkness.We all decided to change the seating arrangements moments before. I sit next to Sebastian, Garrett sits next to me, while he sits next to Michael Sunders. Behind us, is Lucinda, and Michael's personal assistant, who just came inside the section after taking a long phone call, hence the reason why I hadn't seen him before.Even in the dark I can see Sebastian's face pressed hard into a frown. I nudge him slightly, and when I do he slowly turns to face me. His strong jawline is hardened at the sight of me."Lighten up. You don't want anyone to think you aren't happy," I tell him."But I'm not happy."

CHAPTER 7

When I hear the words "Tennessee" I think his statement is part of some sick, twisted joke. But then I see the look on his face and realize it isn't.Sebastian and I don't say anything for what seems like ages. Then Sebastian speaks up."What!?" He yells. "Why!?""I've already told you why-""Yes, I understand why but...why? Why there, why can't it be somewhere else!? Come on, Pops I'll go...anywhere but there, I'm practically begging here!"Garrett smiles widely at Sebastian's plea, "You're desperation is all the more reason to make you go. It will be fun--the warm...moist air, the...wild animals, acres and acres of your mother's farm land."

CHAPTER 8

** Cows. Cows are all I see, and frankly they aren't a welcoming sight. My mouth twists and curls like I'm tasting something sour, when it's only the smell of cow manure and the sight of actual livestock outside the car window. "I take it it's her first time out in the country?" The driver asks Sebastian. All Sebastian does is shake his head. I think twice about saying something back to the driver, but I'm so focused on the animals outside, actual animals, outside of my window, that it only crosses my mind. The plane ride to Tennessee was horrible in itself. I tried to make amends with Sarah after my rude comment shook her the wrong way, but she wouldn't bud

CHAPTER 9

** "Get...off of me!" I yell while pushing my hands into Sebastian's chest. Holding onto his towel tightly, he stumbles out of the shower and slips once before regaining his balance fully. I quickly turn off the shower with my foot and wipe the water off of my face. I'm shivering, maybe out of anger, definitely from being cold, possible from a mixture of both. I push myself up from the tub and stare at Sebastian while anger exudes out of my eyes like laser beams. I feel my bun slip out of it's tie thanks to it being completely drenched, but I don't care. "You," I growl, wrapping the shower curtain tighter around my wet body. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
