The Buyout — Bru Baker

All Parker Anderson has ever wanted is to take over as CEO of Anderson Industries when his father retires. But when his father is ready to leave the company, he doesn't plan to pass the reins to Parker. Instead, he plans to sell the company, jeopardizing not only Parker's job but hundreds of others.

Parker finds an unlikely ally in Mason Pike, the company's resident IT guru. What starts as a flirtation takes them from coworkers to coconspirators in a plan to forcibly buy Anderson Industries out from under Parker's father. While they focus on the buyout, their budding romance has to be put on hold, but that doesn't stop them from flirting and teasing each other to distraction -- and once their master plan comes to fruition, nothing and no one can keep them apart.
