Emily Brown is intelligent, hardworking, and days away from finishing her MBA. She has a dream job at a top-tier consulting firm and a terrific apartment in New York City. The only problem? She doesn't like her boss, who happens to be a gorgeous, infuriating man. Robert Ramirez is blunt, demanding, and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is his brilliant assistant - Emily. She's excellent at her job and surpasses his every expectation. So why can't he stop thinking about her? When their friction reaches its boiling point, Robert and Emily are forced to confront their complicated feelings for each other, and the result is a deliciously erotic office romance that neither of them can resist. As they explore their mutual desire, they uncover secrets about themselves and their pasts and learn that love can be messy, complicated, and downright beautiful. Told in alternating perspectives between Emily and Robert, Handsome Scoundrel is a steamy, provocative, and thoroughly addictive novel that will leave you begging for more.

CHAPTER 36

I was able to avert his eyes, but I was unable to dodge his inquiry. Is that accurate? I eventually looked up and nervously questioned.

He gave a nod of agreement before deftly slipping his fingers from my hips to my waist underneath my undershirt. I felt a chill go down my spine at the contact. "Why?" I asked with genuine curiosity.

I haven't sought anybody else, he said after shaking his head once. His comment confused me. Did he imply that although he hadn't yet found the person he was looking for, he was still open to the idea? I questioned, "So, if you're involved with someone, do you usually prefer monogamy?" in an effort to get more information.

If that's what's anticipated, he said with a shrug and nonchalance.

I swung behind Robert and grabbed the free bottle of water from the nightstand while he gently kissed my shoulder, collarbone, and neck. I passed it to him after taking a drink, and he quickly finished it. I joked, "Thirsty?"
