The Scheme by Cynthia Ayman

After several months abroad, Madison struggles to adjust back into her life. Work isn’t as easy as it used to be, her friends’ lives have taken unexpected turns, and Ben Ackerman, with his usual rambunctious and carefree attitude, seems hell bent on inserting himself into her safe space. Ben is as loud as she is quiet, as social as she is private, and as playful as she is serious. In short, they are complete opposites. It doesn’t take long before she gets to know the mischievous player a little better, and she quickly finds out that there is much more to him than meets the eye. Beneath his cocky attitude is a man that is almost impossible for her to resist. Not that she tries really hard. Their mutual attraction is completely unexpected and something they want to keep firmly hidden. Secret affairs are a delicacy Madison had always wanted to try, and, after all, their little fling is only temporary… right?
