Seattle, Washington & Sedona, Arizona – Present Day

 

Tami Wilson was falsely accused of embezzling a lot of money from the charity she worked for and will do anything to clear her name—except reveal how foolish she was to trust her then boyfriend, who is the actual culprit. She turns to her wealthy father for help in replacing the missing funds, and he agrees to help on one condition: she must go undercover at a rival company and report back about any deals they have going on. Tami hates lying, but feels she has no choice other than agree. Hired to work at Richmond Developments, her immediate boss is CEO Keaton Richmond. One of the first assignments they will work on together is a team-building trip that includes hiking in Sedona, Arizona.

 

Keaton is intrigued by their new hire, Tami. She seems out of place in the corporate world, but she is determined to do whatever it takes to show she can do the job. Will this include ziplining while on the trip? Since Keaton and Tami will be working together, they spend a lot of time getting to know each other on this trip. She appears reticent about her life before she got hired, but it doesn’t stop Keaton from being attracted to her, and he wants her in his bed. How will he react when he learns that she is spying on his company?

 

Keaton is on the lookout for the mole in his company in SCANDALIZING THE CEO but doesn’t realize the culprit is right in front of him. After a recent scandal involving his deceased father that threatened to splinter the company, the last thing he needs is more work problems. Keaton isn’t looking for a wife after he lost his fiancée to his twin brother recently (Logan and Honor’s story was told in SEDUCING THE LOST HEIR). Tami’s awkwardness around him has Keaton immediately noticing her, which makes him do whatever it takes to make her feel comfortable. Long days hiking and other outdoor activities inevitably lead to leisurely evenings together. The more they’re around each other, the greater the sexual chemistry heats up.

 

All through SCANDALIZING THE CEO, Tami feels guilty. She’s an honorable person who got duped and feels it was her fault for giving her boyfriend the passwords to the charity’s bank account. Now the money is gone. Her relationship with her parents is not good and she only went to her father as a last resort. She wants to keep the matter out of the hands of the police in hopes she can replace the money. Is Tami successful? Will she soon find herself falling for Keaton?

 

Brought together under dubious conditions in SCANDALIZING THE CEO, readers will soon learn that Tami’s hopes to help her father in exchange for help from him has a price. Don’t miss this intriguing tale.
