Bursting Out (Stupid Awesome Love #4)

They’re a couple of control freaks, but they can’t control each other.

Adele
For years I was forced to live a life I hated, but I broke free, and now own a small real estate business. One that's deep in the red. In walks the robotic and rich Mr. Petrov in need of an agent. He's an answer to my problems, but also a mystery I need to uncover. Even his epic assholery can't dissuade my curiosity.

Michael proves he's no robot. He's so genuine I can't help but fall. As a shadow from my past threatens him and my sister, it's my responsibility to protect them. I take care of my own problems, and when Michael wants to step in, I make one thing clear: white knights need not apply.

Michael
I'm ambitious, I'm successful, and I know what I want. I'm also frustratingly unsettled, searching for something I can never find. A place where I can be myself. Where I'll feel at home. My sexy new real estate agent knows what I need before I can say a word. She sees through me.

Adele makes me want to give up control, but trust is a word I've forgotten. How can I give myself over to her when she doesn't tell me anything about her past? How can I trust her? I guess it's a good thing she doesn't take no for an answer.
