The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

For over a decade, whenever Everett even hinted at giving up, there was always a line of women ready to step up to the plate. Dorothy believed that a single Quincy wasn't enough to shake the solid foundation she had built with Everett.

If Quincy could so easily take her place, then... Well, Dorothy hadn't even let that thought cross her mind. She couldn't fathom what it would be like if Everett truly left her!
