This is a standalone book meant for mature
readers.
Harper Troy, like most students, was working her way through college barely making it by. She hears
about an opening at a well known gentleman’s club, The Guardian, ran by a very well known Chicago
Family, the Tarseta’s. Even though the uniform is very revealing and the other waitresses are catty
bitches, the money is worth it.
Until she meets the youngest Tarseta, Liam. He’s Chicago’s most eligible bachelor and drop dead
gorgeous. She feels an instant attraction. Being a known playboy, Harper fights the attraction and his
advances.
Liam has his eyes on Harper the moment he sees her. Being different and not falling for his charms, he is
determined to break her down. But Harper refuses to be another notch on his bed post.
Just when Liam is breaking down Harper’s barriers, he learns some shocking news that changes
everything. Can he make her see they are meant to be together, or will he lose her forever?

I had just popped the tab of my Diet Coke when the door opens. Like déjà vu, Liam enters the locker
room, except this time I am sitting with my legs crossed and fully clothed.
"I just wanted to make sure you were all right," Liam says in his ridiculously sexy voice. Jesus, what
is with this guy?
"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" I ask, sounding maybe a little harsher than I had planned.
"My father was very rude. I wanted to apologize for his candor," he says, all debonair and
provocatively. "I think my uncle Matty has a huge crush on you." He chuckles.
"He's old enough to be my father," I say bluntly, with a little disgust.
"Ouch! I won't tell him you said that." He winces. "You're really not interested, though?" he asks and I
just shrug.
"Yeah, really."
"It's just that most of the girls who work here would be jumping at the chance to land my Uncle." Liam
just exudes sex in everything he says. I want to yell at him, "You have got to be kidding me, stop
talking and fuck me already!"
I feel my face turn hot at my thoughts and turn my head away from him.
"Well, Mr. Tarseta, I am not like most girls," I say, not looking at his black lust filled eyes.
"I am seeing that."
"What is that supposed to mean?" I shoot back.
"It's that you flirt just enough with patrons, but not enough that you are advertising something is for
sale." He steps further into the room and sits next to me on the bench. He's close, close enough I can
smell his expensive cologne, and holy fuck does he smell good.
My breath hitches and I let out a gasp as I feel the heat radiating between us. "Mr. Tarseta, I'm not for
sale," I say, taking a drink of my Diet Coke, my mouth suddenly very dry.
"Ms. Troy, everything is for sale for the right price," he says low, almost in a whisper. I stand, feeling the
need to put some distance between us.
"That is your opinion, but I assure you that there is no number large enough that can buy me," I tell him
still avoiding those black eyes.
"So you are saying that nothing can buy you, nothing at all." He stands, inching his way closer. I feel the
electric sparks bouncing off of me.
I swallow hard as the smell of him fills my nostrils, I feel him watching the hollow of my neck.
"I am not a possession to be bought, Mr. Tarseta. Besides, why would you want me anyway, you have
tons of girls just itching for you to own them."
"Well, first off..." He lets out one of his low sexy chuckles, "I don't ever remember saying I wanted
you." Ouch, now that hurt. I feel about two feet tall. He stands there cool as a cucumber, while I'm
a hot mess of nerves and lust.
"I didn't mean to insinuate that you did..." I stutter, trying desperately to repair this very embarrassing
moment. I turn to my locker to look for something, anything to distract me. I find my phone and pretend
to read a text, also trying to pretend he is no longer in the room.
"Second, Ms. Troy, if I did want you, I would have you." He leans down close to my ear, so close I can
feel his hot breath. Okay, that's it, I am not a toy for you to play with.
"Well, I guess it's a good thing you don't want me, because I assure you, Mr. Tarseta, you would not
have me if you did," I snap, slamming my locker door. With a huff, I walk around the bench to avoid
having to touch Liam as I exit the locker room. What nerve, what an arrogant asshole.
