    About this ebook

    An event planner with a lonely heart PLUS a billionaire alpha too hot to touch PLUS a dark secret buried in the past!

    When you have been burned in love too many times to count, you eventually make a promise to yourself that you will never let yourself be hurt again. Next time you will be more careful. You will protect your heart with everything you have, just to keep it from getting broken again.

    Melissa Cleary was one of the many women around the world that had made this promise to herself. For years she kept this promise, never letting herself get close enough to the fire to get burned. That is, until she met Clayton Masters.

    Somehow Clayton charged through all the barriers, even the ones he had created for himself. The only problem was that Clayton had a secret. A secret that could kill someone if they got too close. Clayton has distanced himself from the opposite sex, not to spare his own heart, but to keep them from meeting the same fate as his mother.

    Without realizing what is happening the two of them find themselves, not only close enough to the fire to be burned, but standing inside of the burning flames. Will the fire they ignite in each other consume them in love or will their hearts be burned to ash?

    AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a 16,000-word stand-alone story with an HEA, so no cliff-hangers! Story contains mature themes and language and is intended for 18+ readers only.

      Chapter One

      Melissa stood in the corner of the banquet hall watching her catering event unfold. She kept a constant eye on the food levels, monitored the servers and listened intently to the voices of her prep cooks and chef in her earpiece, as they updated her on what was going on in the kitchen. She scanned the room, not a thing was out of place, everything was perfect.

      This is why I am one of the most sought after event planners in The Valley. She smiled proudly. Then something caught her eye. One of the women hanging off of the event benefactor’s arm was waving her over. Melissa made her way over to the small group, offering an obligated smile to the other guests as she passed by.

      How can I help you today, Miss? Melissa lifted her chin and straightened her back. She kept a smile on her face in spite of the fact that these rich, superficial women made her guts whirl. The tall, dark featured one looked down her nose at her, plastering on the fakest smile of the century.

      Yes, I was just curious as to whether you were the event planner or not? The woman spoke down to her in a fake Brazilian accent.

      Yes, Miss, I am the event planner.

      The woman laughed a loud obnoxious laugh, joined in by a chorus of giggles from the other women in the group. Melissa ignored their judgemental laughter and smiled in spite of her loathing. She squared her shoulders and glowered at the fake Brazilian woman.

      I told you, Louisa, one of the women said, If you want to find the event planner, just look for the pathetic, chunky blob standing alone in the corner creeping on everyone.

      Another wave of giggles started among the woman and her friends.

      Melissa ran her tongue over her top teeth and folded her hands neatly in front of her. She looked up at the man that was surrounded by these materialistic wenches. His face was composed, as if he wasn’t listening to a single word the women on his arms were saying. He just watched her. He was studying her reactions to the snide remarks of the women around her. All the more reason to keep her cool.

      I’m sorry, Miss, was there something that I can help you with? Melissa bit back a string of curse words. Louisa smiled sweetly at her.

      Yes, I had a question, Louisa looked around at the other women before continuing.

      I just wanted to say that the halibut was way over-cooked. You need to find a new cook.

      Melissa could hear the low snickers of the women behind her. She let out a long sigh and looked Louisa straight in the eyes.

      Well, I am sorry to hear that, but we served salmon tonight, not halibut. Second, I’m not sure it really matters how well your food is cooked since the toilet eats it for you. Melissa clenched her jaw tightly and gave a short nod.

      But, thank you for your input. I will let the cook know. She gave a satisfied smile and looked at each of their faces.

      Was that all you needed?

      The women around her all had grave expressions on their pretty little faces. Louisa was looking up at the benefactor, pleading for support, but he gave none. He continued to stare at Melissa with a stern expression on his face, but Melissa swore she could see laughter dancing around in his honey colored eyes.

      When there was no response from the group of women, Melissa gave an over-exaggerated smile and turned to leave. She made her way over to the bar and let out a sigh as she leaned, ever so slightly, against the wall. The kitchen staff had just given her a five-minute ETA on the desserts. The bartender took one look at Melissa and laughed.

      You all right over there? Taesha chuckled, walking over to the sidebar.

      "You
