Mr. West by Xyla Turner

Dakota was a finalist on the Invest in the Best television show and she could nearly clutch the victory in her grasp. Except one judge blocked her way to success with his callous and arrogant — ‘No’.
After giving him some choice words, everything that Dakota knew as life, changed.
Years later, she runs into that same judge and cannot believe he has the dirty nerve to speak. Her life had completely shifted since the last time they saw each other, but that did not erase her hatred for the man.
No.
If anything, it made it worse.
