Adele
I never had time for men. As a doctoral student studying environmental science, I was married to my work. All I cared about was saving the world, one ecosystem at a time. So, when I heard about billionaire real estate developer Jack Nathan and his plan to ruin a perfectly good part of Nassau, I knew I had to do something.I wanted to take him down. That smug grin, his tousled blonde hair, that body that told me he was as vain as he was wealthy…I hated him. At least, that’s what I told myself.

Jack
I’ve always gotten what I want, when I want it. Women, money, and power. That was what I cared about. But when I met Adele Parker, I knew that was about to change. An environmental activist, Adele challenged the vision of my company with ludicrous cries about “preserving nature,”…whatever that means. I wanted to write her off as just another annoying social justice warrior. But her bright green eyes, tanned limbs, and killer figure made it impossible to forget her.

So, when I learned we had a common enemy, I vowed to work with her…as long as she let me inside those sexy panties of hers. Little did I know, Adele was much more than just a grad student with her eyes set on changing the world. If I wasn’t careful, she’d end up changing my world as well…
