Prologue

Magda felt the flush from the alcohol as she swayed to the music of the party.  When she’d accepted her scholarship to MIT, she had never envisioned she’d be at a huge party for Halloween with three new friends and being drunk underage. In school she’d never even had one best friend because she’d been the class nerd. She’d been valedictorian but the title hadn’t come with buddies. Now she had three best friends and a social life.She’d had a crush on a boy all through high school and he’d finally told her he reciprocated her feelings and they’d planned on sleeping together for the first time on prom night. But her overbearing mother and her overprotective daddy had ruined it with a cheque two hours before prom.But she was away from them. Her overzealous parents who thought her

The Presentation

“So, you see, Mr. Winter,” Dimitra continued, “the app will allow you to take electronic transferring of funds one step further. The beta testing confirmed it’s reliability. We’ve worked out all the bugs and kinks. Since your local bank was kind enough to let us beta test, we thought we would give you first kick at the can in terms of an offer.”Magda stared at the computer screen in front of her, as Dimi finished the presentation. The minute she had walked in and met Ares Winter in person, she had felt like a bug on a microscope. He had been staring at her hard and his questions, while directed at the group of them, felt as if he were speaking to her and her alone.Magda wasn’t the strong confident type. Having parents who had sheltered her most of her life and a childhood of engaging in activities which c

The Man of Her Dreams

Magda put the paddle board into the sand and looked up at the man standing beside her. The sun was low in the sky, the beach long deserted and the last two surfers on the shore standing side by side after riding in their last wave of the day.“Hi.”“Hello.”Without further ado, he pulled her into his arms and dug his fingers into the thick knotted mess of wet hair draping over her shoulders. His mouth descended on hers and she inched as close to him as she could, her arms draping around his neck as his lips stole her breath. Soft and plush his lips slid across hers, tasting of the salt and sweat of the day in the water. He smelled of sunshine and his body cool to the touch.Dropping to their knees, Ares continued kissing her, his lips locked to hers. Magda wondered how she could breathe as he licked, su

Surf and Surprises

Sunday morning, Magda was at the line waiting her turn to catch the next wave when a warm voice beside her sent a shiver down her spine.“Ms. Onassis, what a surprise.”She had left the house at the crack of dawn because she’d known the waves at this particular beach were going to be incredible this morning. Word had gotten out and when she’d gotten here as the sun came up there had easily been twenty people on the beach. She desperately had needed the distraction and the reason for it was now standing beside her. Curse her luck.She cast a sideways glance to the man beside her. “Mr. Winter, I’ve never seen you here before.”“Nor I you,” he shrugged at the coincidence. “I come here fairly frequently.”“I don’t come as often but one of the

Give Me A Sign

Ares sat at his desk in his home office and groaned. He was distracted and it wasn’t like him in the least. He was entirely focused on the sweetest, prettiest girl he’d ever met in his life and his lust for her was out of control.The file he had his security pull on her beckoned him again and he forced himself to leave the icon on his screen closed. He’d already committed it to memory anyway.Magda Onassis. Recently turned twenty-six. Masters from MIT. Only a handful of dates and no real number of boyfriends. He counted a high school boy and a married man in the months before she went to the UK. She had three close friends but he glossed over their details. He didn’t give a shit about any of them. Just her.His VP of operations had arranged the meeting with the developers of the app they had been beta testing. Feedback had been more than remarkable and he was ready to give the group an easy payday so he could take their product, imp

Breathing Room

Magda left the beach house annoyed with her friends. They were the best friends any girl could have but occasionally they got so caught up in shenanigans they forgot how amazing they were as independent women. Dimi was so hellbent on making her ex crazy, she was dragging them with her and while she would do whatever Dimi wanted because it is what best friends do, some of her plans were often extreme. Darya on the other hand was a punch first ask questions second kind of person and this morning she had told Dimi the best way to get Miklos Laskaris to sign divorce papers was to kidnap him, hold him at gunpoint and force him to put his signature on themThe entire conversation had escalated into a horrible plotting surrounding how they would do such a thing. Magda was quaking in her shoes they would actually try to accomplish Darya’s suggestion. Finally, she had said she needed to go to the grocery store to get a few things but really she needed a breath. She would go alon

Coffee and Croissants

She entered the coffee shop and noted it was pretty quiet and reminded herself it was a Wednesday afternoon. She walked to the counter and waited behind the man in line ahead of her, keeping her eyes on the menu board instead of darting around anxiously for any glimpse of Ares Winter. A warm voice in her ear behind her made her shiver and her eyes automatically close. “Get the dark roast special of the day. I promise you won’t regret it.” She turned her head a fraction and was enveloped in the smell of sunshine and salt air which accompanied the handsome man leaning over her shoulder. “Hello.” The desire to lean backwards into his heat made her propel herself a half inch forward. “Hello. I’m glad you came.” “I had to know what kind of coffee could get you to leave the office.” He pouted, “really? Nothing to do with seeing me here?” Her eyes danced at his frown, seeing the reciprocated laughter in his, “not in the least. It’s ab

Home Truths

Magda’s phone was on speaker and Sienna was squealing like a pig stuck with a poker.“Would you stop?”“I can’t,” Sienna gushed. “It’s so exciting and sexy. He took one look at you in the boardroom and set his sights on you.”“You’ve been spending too much time in the fiction section of the library,” Magda was putting dishes away from the dishwasher in the kitchen while she talked to her third best friend. “Quite possibly the section of the type of romance novels they sell in drugstores and airport bookstores.”“Who has time,” Sienna complained. “I’m trying to work on my thesis, visit mom, work in the library, and then work more on my thesis.”“And have you done any flirting with Mr. Private Security Detail?”“We’re talking about you and the billionaire banker who wants to bang you, not my crush on a man w

Sorting It Out

Magda walked up the beach back towards the house and saw both Dimi and Darya waiting for her.“Feel better?” Dimi asked.“Depends,” she shot a look at Darya.“Mags, I’m sorry. I’m worried about you and it’s coming out all wrong.”“You think?”“Ares Winter isn’t like anyone else you’ve dated. You are such a good person. You have a good heart and a beautiful soul and he’s a playboy. He has a different woman on his arm every other week. He goes through women like he does dollar bills. I don’t want you to get hurt.”“Do you think I don’t know he’s out of my league and superior to me?”“No!” Darya shook her head. “Nobody is saying he’s superior to you. Inferior yes. You’re too good for him. I don’t want to see you get taken advantage of. He’s using you.”“

Mum's The Word

Magda sat on her bed, the headboard behind her with the curtains drawn, the lights off and hit the video call icon to call her parents.“Hi Mom, did I catch you at a bad time?”“No,” her mother sighed dramatically. “I am finishing for the day. Why you cannot call me at a normal hour is beyond me.”“Sorry. It’s four-thirty there, isn’t it?”“It is and I was getting ready to head home. You know how your father likes to have his dinner ready and on the table by six.”She kept her face neutral as she considered it wasn’t as if her mother was actually preparing, plating, or serving the meal.“Well, I won’t keep you mom. I only wanted to check in and let you know I’m fine.”“Well of course, you’re fine and I always will make time for your calls. You’re important to me.” Her mother gave an eye roll as if Magda should
