Description
Discover Book 1 in the HACKER series - an intoxicating billionaire romance, perfect for fans of Lauren Asher and Ana Huang.
Determined to overcome a difficult past, Erica Hathaway learns early on to make it on her own. Days after her college graduation, she finds herself face to face with a panel of investors who will make or break her fledgling start-up website. The only thing she didn't prepare for was going weak in the knees over an arrogant and gorgeous investor who seems determined to derail her plans.
Billionaire and rumoured hacker Blake Landon has already made his fortune in software, and he's used to getting what he wants. Captivated by Erica's drive and unassuming beauty, he's wanted nothing more than to possess her since she stepped into his boardroom. Determined to win her over, he breaks down her defences and fights for her trust, even if it means sacrificing a level of control he's grown accustomed to.
But when Blake uncovers a dark secret from Erica's past, he threatens not just her trust, but the life she's fought so hard to create.

What a perfect day, I said.
Winter had thawed in Boston and spring was upon us. The campus had come alive, buzzing with college students, tourists, and city natives.
Many still wore their graduation gowns from this afternoon's ceremony, the entirety of which I was still processing. Everything felt surreal, from saying bittersweet goodbyes to friends to the anticipation of facing real world problems in the days ahead. A blur of emotions whirled through me. Pride, relief, anxiety. But what I felt most was happiness. To be in this moment. To have Marie by my side.
It is, and no one deserves it more than you, Erica. Marie Martelly, my mother's best friend and my own personal lifesaver, gave my hand a little squeeze and hooked her arm into mine.
Tall and slender, Marie towered over my petite frame. Her soft skin was the colour of cocoa and her brown hair was twisted into dozens of short dreads, a style that expressed both her eternal youth and eclectic style. From the outside, no one would suspect that she was the only mother I'd had for nearly a decade.
I told myself over the years that not having parents was sometimes better than having the kinds of parents I heard about and occasionally met. My classmates parents could be so overbearing. Physically there but emotionally absent, or old enough to be my grandparents and suffering from a serious generational gap. Excelling seemed vastly easier when I was the only person putting pressure on myself to succeed.
