Synopsis
“Love was never part of the plan.” **** Alexander Garner had sworn off relationships after his last one left his family drowning in debt. Since then, the billionaire CEO has built his life around two things: power and control. Love was never part of the plan. Then Amelia entered his life. She was everything he shouldn't want: stubborn, guarded, and impossible to understand. Yet somehow, she became the woman he couldn't stay away from. What started as attraction soon became something far more dangerous: love. But Amelia hadn't entered Alexander's life by accident. She was chasing something. Someone had taken everything from her, and she had no intention of letting it go. But revenge required access to a world she could never reach alone. Alexander could give her that access. So she infiltrated his life with one goal in mind: get close enough to use him. The problem? The closer Amelia gets to Alexander, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and her feelings begin. He thinks he's falling in love with the woman he knows. She knows he's falling for a woman who doesn't exist. And when the truth finally catches up with them, neither of them will walk away unchanged. **** Sequel: Bullets By Dawn

My name is Alex Garner, the CEO of Garner Stats.

I am twenty-three years old and now I know what you are thinking; that I'm too young to run a business empire but then like I said, I'm a Garner, one of the richest business families in the state. My twin sister Lexi and I are the heirs to the business.

Lexi has never been interested in the family business, she always wanted a life of her own with no restrictions and I obviously had to take over.

Being me means having to put up a cold, expressionless façade. One that would scare everyone away and that could ensure no emotional manipulation by anyone. It also means being a playboy.

At my young age and with all that money to my name, it is close to impossible not to have fun, but the fun comes with established rumors which also lead to fake reputations that do not matter to me at all. All I have ever valued is my true reputation and only those I value most know what I am beyond the masks that I wear all the time.

My life was okay until I fell in love.
