The Banker I Love to Hate
No Customer Reviews
She doesn't trust rich men who belong to exclusive clubs.
He's the exact kind of man she has spent years learning to hate.
And the only one who refuses to look away. Tessa Lang left home at fifteen as a prodigy and has spent the years since proving she belongs in a specialty that still prefers men like her chief. At twenty-six she is a sports medicine resident with a perfect record, a strict Chinese-American family that keeps pressing her toward marriage, and zero patience for the privileged men who move through rooms she is still fighting to enter. The last thing she needs is another Ironwood member deciding he has the right to step into her life. Jason Harper is used to rooms that open for him. Investment banker. Ironwood member. The kind of man who has never had to work to be liked. When he meets Tessa at her brother's welcome dinner, she looks at him like she has already written the rest of the story and decided he is not worth the ending. He cannot stop thinking about her. Then a blown ACL puts him in her exam room, and the careful distance she keeps between them starts to crack. She is the most competent, closed-off woman he has ever met. He is the first man who has ever used the kind of power she distrusts to protect her instead of diminish her. When he witnesses the open sexism and intimidation she has been surviving alone, he does what she has never allowed anyone to do: he steps in. What begins as professional proximity and mutual irritation turns into something neither of them planned. One confrontation changes everything. The consequences will force Tessa to decide whether the walls she built to survive are still worth keeping, and force Jason to prove that the power he carries can be used for something other than himself. Intense. Emotional. Explicit. An enemies-to-lovers romance with a protective billionaire, a driven virgin heroine, forced proximity, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that burns everything down before it builds anything back. HEA guaranteed. Book 2 in the Ironwood Hall series.
