Lucky Stars by Christi Whitson

Hayden
I’d learned long ago that I just wasn’t a relationship sort of guy, and I’d definitely never been the type to risk getting involved with a colleague. But Gemma was different. I felt compelled to chase her, to possess her, despite my growing certainty that she was keeping something from me. Her surrender was the sweetest thing I’d ever tasted, but I got far more than I’d anticipated. It was supposed to be casual. No strings attached. I wasn’t supposed to fall for her.

Gemma
As a perpetually exhausted single mom, I couldn’t remember the last time a man had truly made me feel like a woman. I was sensible, responsible, and at the top of my professional game. But it took no time at all for Hayden to have me at his mercy. I gave him more power over me than any man had ever held, but there was one thing I just couldn’t bring myself to share. At the time, keeping my secret had felt like the right thing to do. Now, I’m being crushed by the weight of it. I’ve already lost my heart. Will I lose Hayden too?
