Arrogant Boss

BLACK INDUSTRIES BOOK 1 Damian Black has always had everything—wealth, power, and the world at his feet. But when his father’s will drops a bombshell, the stakes skyrocket. To secure his inheritance, Damian must do the unthinkable: get married. As the eldest of the Black brothers, Damian’s playboy lifestyle is suddenly on the line. He’s determined to find the perfect woman, but none of them have measured up. Enter Adalyn West, Damian’s long-time personal assistant. Efficient, unflappable, and with a sharp wit that has kept Damian in line for years, Adalyn is the last woman he ever expected to consider as a bride. Adalyn’s been by his side for years, handling every detail of his life with quiet efficiency. She’s smart, loyal, and definitely not the type to cause him any trouble. Plus, she knows him better than anyone else. But there’s one problem— Damian has never seen Adalyn as more than just his PA, and the thought of marrying her feels too close for comfort. As Adalyn steps into the role of Damian’s wife, sparks fly in ways neither of them expected. What starts as a convenient arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicated. Damian’s heart, once locked away, begins to thaw as his new wife shows him a side of herself he never knew existed. But with old flames, business rivals, and the weight of the Black legacy bearing down, Damian must decide if he’s willing to risk everything—including his heart—for the one woman who might just be perfect for him.

"I knew he was trouble the moment I walked into our shared house.

And when they do, Ryder and Evie will have to decide if the risk is worth the ruin.

After being forced to marry a man she didn’t know to save her father’s gambling business, Cassie thought her life would end badly. She had no choice, as her father threatened to stop paying for her sick mother’s treatment. Therefore, she decided to accept everything, even though she knew her life would change from what she had dreamed of. At the very least, she knew her bad days would begin because she was marrying the man who had lent her father money. However, she was wrong. Nothing changed in her life. The marriage was only a married-on paper that meant nothing; her husband didn’t even show up on their wedding day, as if the marriage was completely unimportant. They signed the marriage documents separately as if it were just a fake marriage. She never meets him, but they have an agreement that she must agree to if she doesn’t want him to destroy her father’s business. However, that was all that happened. After the wedding, she still lived with her mother and continued her previous life. A year after her marriage, Cassie applied for a job at a big company that brought many changes to her life. And from there, everything changed. What if her new job leads her into a shocking life? What if Cassie discovers that her boss is a cold-blooded mafia leader who is willing to kill with his gun on his hands? And what if she finds out that her ruthless boss is her husband, whom she has never met? *** “Did you keep my wife’s identity? I need her photo on something. I think she just applied for a job at my company without knowing that I am her husband.”~Christopher Drew Alexavier

"What about you? You know you can't just drink your troubles away." "Hey, don't judge me! I've had a crappy week," I scowl back at him defensively. Betrayed by a boyfriend and fired by the company.

Suddenly, I fall out of the barstool, and strong arms swiftly wrap around my waist, stopping me from embarrassing myself further. "Woah, you okay?" his warm breath fans against the nape of my neck, sending tingles up my spine. Or maybe that's just the alcohol. He pulls me closer, his arms wrapping tightly around my upper body to keep me steady. I can feel the firmness of his abs pressing against my back, and I gasp. "That's enough for you, ma'am. Do you have someone to take you home?" the bartender asks.
