Ruthless, a new standalone from New York Times and USA Today Bestseller, Deborah Bladon. When I agreed to go on a blind date my best friend set up, I had no idea how the night would end. As soon as I got to the restaurant, I spotted the dark-haired, gorgeous man I thought I was there to have dinner with. I sat down at his table and proceeded to flirt awkwardly with him. When his actual date came back to their table from the ladies’ room, I realized my mistake. The sinfully sexy man I told a condensed version of my dating history to wasn’t Dale, the friend-of-a-friend I was there to meet. Mortified, I went home and hid in my bed for the rest of the night swearing off blind dates forever. Three days later, I came face-to-face with the hot-as-hell stranger from the restaurant again. This time he introduced himself. Barrett Adler. He’s that Mr. Adler. Barrett is my new boss. He quickly proves he’s the most annoying, arrogant, and ruthless man I’ve ever met. My employment contract ties me to him for the next year. Three hundred and sixty-five days from now I’ll be free of him forever. Or will I?

I saw my boss naked. Actually, most of the women who work at Matiz Cosmetics have. It's understandable since the pictures went viral almost immediately after being posted online. Ryker Moore and his social media star girlfriend were photographed on a private beach in the Caribbean. No swimsuits, no hats, and no bad camera angles. Ryker's back in New York City and his relationship is over. The fact that he's single shouldn't matter to me, but it does. It's not because I've secretly wanted him since I landed this job. It has absolutely nothing to do with that one kiss we shared under the mistletoe at the holiday party last year. It matters because of the way he looks at me when he doesn’t think I'm paying attention. That melts my heart but I know enough about Ryker to realize he's trouble. He's the last thing I need, but that has nothing to do with what I want, does it? Author's Note: Although a few characters from my past books make appearances in MELT, it's not necessary to read any of my other books to enjoy MELT.

A new standalone novel from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Deborah Bladon. I chose the woman I brought home with me last night for one reason and one reason only. She looks like her. It's the same with every woman I bring home with me. They always look like her. Light brown hair, sky blue eyes, and a body that takes me to that place I crave. It's where I forget – her innocence, my cruelty, everything. Last night was different. This one didn't only look like her, she danced like her, spoke in a soft voice like her, and when she lost control on my sheets in that split second I live for, she made a sound that cracked my heart open. My heart; cold and jaded as it is, felt a beat of something for this one. She left before I woke up. I need to forget about the woman from last night, just like I've forgotten every woman but the one who started me on this path to self-destruction. I might have been able to if I wasn't standing in a crowded courtroom ready to take on the most important case of my career staring at the woman who crawled out of my arms just hours ago and into the role of opposing counsel. I may be a high-profile lawyer, but her name is one I'd recognize anywhere. The woman I screwed last night is the same one I screwed over in high school. Court is now in session, and it's me versus her.

This is how the worst Friday of my life started… The Dick Hey Sinclair, Mr. Calvetti is as ornery as ever today. He scolded me for taking a message from a woman who asked me to pass along this to him – “your lips are the purest form of pleasure this side of the Mississippi!” She may not be a poet, but she is obviously head over heels for him, so I thought I’d play cupid and give him the message. Dominick (The Dick) Calvetti told me once again to ignore all messages women leave for him. He’s a cruel bastard with a gorgeous face and rock hard abs. I imagine he has those. He’s 6’3” and works out every morning. He has to be built under those suits, right? I know that the nickname I gave him is based on his attitude, but I sometimes wonder if it “fits” in other ways if you know what I mean. Even if it does, I still loathe him. He’s the worst boss on both sides of the Mississippi. I attached a picture of the lingerie I bought for my date tonight. I snapped a selfie in the mirror this morning since you were still asleep. Let me know what you think, roomie. Arietta xoxo P.S. Tomorrow we’re getting you a new phone. I miss texting. Emailing is for old people like The Dick. The Dick Miss Voss, Thank you for your email. I hardly think 34 is considered old, and for the record, I’m 6’4”. Details matter. Sending an email to the intended recipient matters more, especially when you include a sensitive image exposing so much of your body. Also, cancel your date, as you will now be working late tonight. And report to my office. Immediately. Signed, THE DICK “XOXO”

I called the police on my cocky, condescending neighbor last night. Today I found out he’s my new billionaire boss. My neighbor could win an award for being the rudest man in New York City. It wouldn’t kill him to hold the elevator for me when I’m running late. He also plays music way too loud, entertains a lot, and constantly knocks on my door for no good reason. Whenever I do answer, I tell him to get lost. His response is always the same – his signature smirk and a wink. He tosses me a goddamn wink because he knows he’s that good-looking. Last night he had a party. I’m all for having fun, but when it dragged on past midnight, I went next door and asked the arrogant jerk to tone it down. He offered me a drink and told me to lighten up. Lighten up? I did what any woman who needed to sleep would do. I called the police, hoping they could get him to shut up. It worked… until this morning. Today is my first day at my new job. It might also be my last because I just caught sight of my ridiculously handsome boss, and this time, he’s not wearing handcuffs.
