Micah’s mouth turned up into a lazy grin. “Karl and I get a little competitive sometimes over everything; work, sports, and women.”

“Oh, so women are a game to you two?” I huffed, bothered by his implication.

Ashlyn thought she had her life perfectly mapped out.

Get a college degree? check. Move in with her boyfriend? check. Pursue a bright new architectural career — in a brand new city — with said boyfriend? check.

However, all that was a little under a year ago.

Nowadays, having been dumped by her cheating ex-boyfriend, Ashlyn’s life is made up of working extra long shifts at the Tasty Bite Cafe, as she struggles to make ends meet and rebuild her self-esteem.

After months of no love-life to speak of, Ashlyn decides to take a risk that will soon land her deep in the arms of not just one, but two billionaire playboys.

She’s heard cautionary rumors about the two men, but Ashlyn soon learns that she just can’t seem to resist the gorgeous green eyed Karl, and the equally handsome, dark and driven Micah.
