Grayson and Hazel aren’t just rivals. They were destined to hate each other since the day they were born. Grayson Daly couldn’t wait to break free of high school and prove his worth to his overly critical father, plus show his arch-rival Hazel how little he needed her. Ten years later, he’s well into earning seven figures and enjoying his status as one of New York’s most-desired bachelors. But when his beloved Grammy Ethel passes, leaving him one of her Bayshore homes, he hurries back to sell it. However, there’s only one realtor in town... Hazel Matheson has the picture-perfect small-town life. She’s the queen realtor in Bayshore, with a Pinterest-worthy home and wardrobe to match. If she could just find the handsome powerhouse soul mate of her dreams, life would be complete. But when her rival-turned-lover-turned-enemy Grayson Daly waltzes back into town, his ego bigger than a skyscraper and needing a favor, she has a new project—making sure she doesn’t give him what he wants. Grayson’s plan is an easy sell of the house and a speedy return to his beloved big city. Hazel’s plan is to stay the hell away from Grayson and get on with her manhunt. But the harder they fight, the brighter the sparks, until neither one can decide if surrendering to love counts as winning or losing. Maybe, just this once, they can both come out on top.

I’m on top of the world while hurtling toward rock bottom. With my life unraveling around me, the only safe way forward is alone… I’ll do whatever I can to help someone. Your charity needs a million dollars? You’ll have it tomorrow. America’s underprivileged youth in need of new school supplies? Done.

Of course I say “She’ll start tomorrow,” like the helpful sap I am. Now that my business is in the crosshairs of the SEC, I’ve got to watch my step, stay alert. So Jessa Walton’s incomparable hotness is a distressing distraction. Not to mention the knack she’s got for drawing me out of my shell. She doesn’t understand that the idea of us—together—has “NO!” written all over it. She wants all of me, but I don’t give that to anyone. I can only be a jerk to her for so long, though, before Jessa’s sweet sunshine sets me ablaze. Can you blame me? I’ve been secretly in love with her since my junior year of high school, which makes it easy to break my number one rule—Trust no one and keep your heart out of it. In the middle of so much stress and uncertainty, I should know better than to enjoy a ray of sunshine. Sunny days never last.

These outsiders are known as the Bad Boys of Wall Street and every book in the series features glittering Manhattan skyscrapers, swoon-worthy heroes, and a guaranteed HEA.
