The mysterious stranger I spent an unforgettable night with is the billionaire who ruined my life… and now I have to live with him. He's all green eyes, mussed hair and a dirty mouth. He’s good at strip poker, and even better at what comes after.Two weeks later, I walk into a meeting in LA with the subject of my next memoir... and it’s him.Aiden Hartman. My hot one-night-stand, and the billionaire owner of Titan Media, the company that ruined my life and made me change my name.Now I need to spend two months at his side or risk losing my next contract. Living in his Bel-Air mansion, shadowing him daily, and writing his memoir.Aiden invites me into his world of wealth. He brings me as his date to movie premieres and buys me expensive dresses. But he won’t tell me everything I need for the book.We argue in his office, and I taunt him in bikinis by his pool. It’s a dangerous game we’re playing, especially when Aiden offers me a deal too good to refuse.He’ll spill all his secrets… if I tell him mine.

He’s the undisputed loathe of my life. My blood-sworn nemesis. And the man whose toilets I have to scrub for the next thirty days. How’s your week going? It’s inspiring, really—the son of a single mother from humble beginnings rises to become one of the most successful men on the planet, then goes off to exact revenge on the spoiled, bratty heiress he’s been dying to strangle since preschool. The wicked little witch that—allegedly—had his mother fired just to get rid of him. The self-centered, ungrateful hellion who—allegedly—has never touched a kitchen glove in her life. It’s so satisfying, such delicious due justice, watching him corner her into striking a deal to be his maid for a month. Too bad he’s so full of sh*t. “Hatred” barely scratches the surface. “Enemy” is too mild a term. It’s twenty years of pent-up frustration, rivalry, taunting, and resentment coming to a head. Thirteen years of quiet heartbreaks, stolen glances, and unrequited butterflies getting buried deeper. And thirty days of playing with fire… until we finally push each other just a little too far, our flame starts to burn just a little too bright, and all the secrets we tried so hard to hide come spilling into the light. Dominic Crawford has always been the villain in my story, and I’m the fool who fell head over heels in love with him anyway.

But just as she thinks she's got her life under control—jumping into the distractions of her romance-by-calendar-invite boyfriend, and plans for her best friend, Aminah's, wedding—Kiki's career implodes, the family business teeters on collapse, and Malakai returns. As Malakai takes up his role as best man opposite her maid of honour, suddenly Kiki can think of nothing but their simmering chemistry, what went wrong, and why it is now impossible to act normal around each other. Juggling a new job, the prospect of her parents' restaurant being sold, and keeping her best friend from going full bridezilla, dealing with The Ex is the last thing she needs. But somehow the spark between them is only getting hotter—and threatening to ruin everything.

As an expert in relationship-evasion and the host of the popular student radio show Brown Sugar, she's made it her mission to make sure the women of the African-Caribbean Society at Whitewell University do not fall into the mess of "situationships", players, and heartbreak.
