Taken - Paperback

by Jennifer Dawson (Author)

He's used to calling the shots. She's determined to live by her own rules.

Veronica

I want to be free from the insulated bubble of Chicago's high society, and blowing up my life is the only option. So, I ditched my big executive suite job, broke up with the fiancé my parents handpicked, and went from golden child to family disappointment in the space of a single afternoon.

I'm a woman on a mission, and former king of the trust fund babies, Brandon Townsend III, is going to help me. Rich and powerful, he walked away without a backward glance, and I need him to show me the way. Of course, he's reluctant. Of course, he'll resist. But he has no idea who he's dealing with, and I'm not about to take no for an answer.

He thinks he doesn't need me. He's wrong. I'm about to be the best thing that ever happened to him.

Brandon

I keep my life perfectly balanced and under control. I care about three things: my club, my friends, and my growing empire. Everything else-from the parents I always disappoint to my relationships with women-is kept at a polite distance. It's the way to contain the entitled, spoiled monster that lurks inside me.

Then Veronica Westwood blows into my life, creating chaos wherever she goes. She represents a life I hate, but no matter what I do, she refuses to fit the vapid society girl mold. She's entirely too much of everything-too smart, too tenacious, too bold. I put up a wall, she smashes it. I lay out the rules, she breaks them.

And her worst sin of all...I find myself unable to say no to her. Me. Of all people.

Now she feels like a weakness, and I'm not a man who enjoys being brought to his knees.

Taken is a 1st person, dual POV standalone novel in the Undone series. It features a heroine unwilling to take no for an answer and a hero who's never met a woman he couldn't control. The poor guy doesn't know what hit him. I can't even pretend I'm sorry.
