Prelude to a Kiss by Jacqueline Darling

The man she hates…is the one she wants.
A steamy contemporary romantic comedy

MEG
Her new gig as a contract lawyer for the Belmont Trust swiftly turns into Meg’s own circus of chaos, all because she’s forced to work with Byron Belmont. The spare to the heir. The warning. The man she swore to hate.
He’s supposed to be arrogant, and a total bastard. Instead he’s charming, infuriatingly thoughtful—and way too easy on the eyes.
Now Meg is caught between the future she’s worked so hard for, and the one person who could wreck it all.
Because loving Byron Belmont is a huge risk. But not loving him might be the real loss…

BYRON
Transforming himself from tabloid troublemaker to respectable CEO is hard enough.
But that pales in comparison with trying to impress Meg, the one woman who wants nothing to do with him. Even if she did take a job with the Belmont Trust.
They clash at every turn, and Meg still hasn’t forgiven him for his past mistakes.
Then Byron comes up with a bright-but-risky idea—a white lie that might just make Meg fall in love with him.
At least, that’s the plan…
