Your Irresistible
Love Synopsis:
Sebastian Bennett is a determined man. It’s the secret
behind the business empire he built from scratch. Under his rule, Bennett
Enterprises dominates the jewelry industry. Despite being ruthless in his work,
family comes first for him, and he’d do anything for his parents and eight
siblings—even if they drive him crazy sometimes. . . like when they keep
nagging him to get married already.
Sebastian doesn’t believe in love, until he brings in
external marketing consultant Ava to oversee the next collection launch. She’s
beautiful, funny, and just as stubborn as he is. Not only is he obsessed with
her delicious curves, but he also finds himself willing to do anything to make
her smile.
He’s determined to have Ava, even if she’s completely off limits.
Ava Lindt has one job to do at Bennett Enterprises: make the
next collection launch unforgettable. Daydreaming about the hot CEO is
definitely not on her to-do list. Neither is doing said CEO. The consultancy
she works for has a strict policy—no fraternizing with clients. She won’t risk
her job. Besides, Ava knows better than to trust men with her heart.
But their sizzling chemistry spirals into a deep connection
that takes both of them by surprise.
Sebastian blows through her defenses one sweet kiss and
sinful touch at a time. When Ava’s time as a consultant in his company comes to
an end, will
Sebastian fight for the woman he loves or will he end up
losing her?
Excerpt:
“Have you thought about asking her
to stay?” Logan asks. He and Pippa exchange a glance that tells me
they’ve talked about this.
“I can’t ask her to give up her
job. When the project is over, she’ll move to the next one.” My
voice is hollow. Why the fuck is this thought so depressing?
“Dude, you already sound like a
love-sick puppy. No way am I going to listen to your drunk ramblings
about your lost love after she’s gone.” Logan hefts the glass in
my direction as if he’s toasting me.
I stare him down. “When did I ever
get drunk and talk about women?”
“Oh, that’s right,” he admits.
“Never.”
“Damn right.”
He takes a sip from his non-alcoholic
cocktail, looking at Pippa with wide eyes.
“Oh, Logan, stop the puppy dog
eyes. Though you’ll always be known as the family puppy,” Pippa
informs us with a lovely grin. “Sebastian’s the family’s lion,
nursing his wounds alone and all that shit.”
Logan leaps to his feet. “How does
Sebastian get to be the lion and I the puppy? Why can’t I be a
tiger, or at least some scary dog breed?”
Ah, a good old Bennett
brawl.
Pippa puts a hand on her hip,
squinting at Logan as if she’s considering something. “Yeah,
you’re right. Not a puppy. I’ll look up the appropriate breed
later. Must be one that barks a lot but doesn’t bite.”
“Don’t forget it must have an
oversized ego,” I supply.
Pippa nods. “I’ll keep that in
mind.”
“I’m very glad the two of you are
having fun at my expense.” Logan’s tone clearly indicates he’s
not glad at all. Pippa and I grin. “But we were talking about
Sebastian, and how the family lion will be stupid enough to let the
woman he loves walk away.”
My smile drops.
“Sebastian, don’t be an idiot,”
Pippa begins, now turning to me, placing both hands on her hips. “If
you love her—”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You don’t have to,” she
insists, tilting her head.
“Oh, you can just see it?” I ask
sarcastically.
“I can,” Pippa says triumphantly.
She glances at Logan, who backs her up with a strong nod. Oh, here
they go again.
“Yes, yes, Pippa, we all know
you’ve been blessed with Mom’s exceptional people-reading
skills.” I give them a dismissive hand gesture, but they won’t
let me off so easily today.
“Except when it comes to the people
I date or marry, apparently,” she adds. I pull a face, fully aware
of what she’s doing, bringing up her broken marriage so I don’t
brush her off. I’d get mad at her for being so manipulative if I
didn’t love her so much. Which she knows very well.
“How is it that every time we do
something together out of the office, you two corner me about my
personal life?” I inquire, tapping my fingers on the glass.
“You want us to do it at the office
too?” Pippa asks with mock surprise. “Why didn’t you say so?
Logan, are you up for it? Hey, we could even call in Alice for a
Bennett
sibling meeting now and again in the CEO’s office. Or in the
meeting room.”
Groaning, I drag my palm down my
face. “Please
don’t.”
“Let’s get through this step by
step,” Pippa says. She sits down on the floor, crossing her legs as
if she’s about to do some yoga or shit. Damn it. I know that
expression on her face. Lifted eyebrows, lips curled into a half
smile. It reminds me of our days as kids, planning our way into or
out of a mess. “The point is you can’t let her go.”
“You jumped a few steps in the
process,” Logan tells her.
“What will you do after she
leaves?” Pippa continues, and now a shred of seriousness tinges her
playful tone. “Get back to your old life? Find a Terence, like I
did? You’ve had enough sharks have a go at you over the years,
wearing silicone
and Botox to mask their teeth. You’re the billionaire CEO of one of
the biggest companies in San Francisco, and we’re in a sexy
industry. Everyone knows you, and you’re one
of the most eligible bachelors around.”
Logan and I groan in unison. He gets
up. “Okay, it’s time for some adult drinks. Whiskey for
everyone?”
I nod. After a few seconds, so does
Pippa.
“Make mine
a double,” I
instruct.
“Go, tiger,” Pippa tells him. We
all laugh, but without much humor. The discussion has taken a turn
for the serious. Logan shoves the drinks in our hands, and we spend a
few minutes in silence, nursing the whiskey.
