Billion Dollar Beast by Olivia Hayle

Nick was one of those characters that had so many layers to peel away through the course of the story starting with the facade of a ruthless, brooding CEO that resorted to borderline tactics to make his deals.  His best and only friend had a sister who was smart, social, and kind.  The light to his darkness.

Their animosity toward one another seemed like a shield for each, but for different reasons.  What I liked a lot about this story is you could easily see that the mask Nick wore was the product of a difficult childhood and family life without the author having to find a way to describe his past. The reader just gets it from the few clues he gives which is fitting for his character.

This is Book 2 of the series.  I read Book 1 first, but it is not necessary to do that to enjoy this story even though there are overlapping characters.
