It Kills Me by Penelope Sky

My father has chosen me to succeed him in the family business.

But if I want the job, it comes with stipulations. And one of those stipulations is to never mix business with pleasure. AKA, don’t sleep with anyone on the job. My father leads by example, and not once have I ever seen him get involved with anyone, not even his beautiful assistant. That was an easy rule to follow…until Axel.
Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get our product past the ruthless regulations mandated by the government. My father has never had a partner, but he makes an exception for Axel because he’s good at what he does.
But the second our eyes meet…there’s fire. He’s by far the most handsome man I’ve ever seen, and his I couldn’t care less attitude makes me weak. But I put up boundaries and reject his advances.
But this man doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants.

One night together becomes the precursor to the most passionate affair of my life. If my father discovers our secret, it’ll cost me my career…and it’ll cost Axel his life. To make matters worse, I’m falling for this man…and I think he’s falling for me too.
