    About this ebook

    When Lizzy runs into her lifelong crush in Vegas, she’s just brave enough to go talk to him. But will her big brother’s best friend give the geeky girl who used to follow him everywhere the time of day?

    Rich and powerful, Ian is successful in business, without a doubt. But his personal life - or lack thereof - is severely lacking. When chance brings the woman he’s loved since he was a teen to his party in Las Vegas, he finds he cannot resist temptation. But will the woman who has been forbidden to him his whole life believe that he want more from her than a one night stand?

    Crush - Tiffany Allee

    1

    Lizzy Jones smoothed invisible wrinkles from her silky cocktail dress, and wondered what the heck she was doing. Fancy parties in Vegas weren’t exactly her scene, and while she’d enjoyed the dressing up and seeing all of the glitzy people around her, she was eager to get into something more comfortable, more her. She walked back to her table, hoping her stride looked more like the strut of a woman comfortable in heels, and less like the hobble of someone who rarely wore them.

    Crystal and Maya sat at the table, martinis in front of them. Crystal’s face lit up with a big smile at Lizzy’s approach, and she squeezed Lizzy’s hand when she sat down.

    We ordered you a drink, Crystal said.

    She suppressed a grimace. She didn’t mind a drink now and then, but the martinis Crystal favored were terribly strong. But what the heck, this was likely to be her only chance to play dress up and hang out at a swank Vegas hotel for a long time. Soon, she would be home. And while home wasn’t so bad, this little taste of fantasy wasn’t bad either.

    Pushing thoughts of home from her mind, she took in the glitz and glam of the casino around her. The hotel was nice. More than nice, it was beautiful, elegant, flashy—all the things she wasn't. The only thing that could make the weekend any better would be a fantasy guy to go with it. But she’d resisted Crystal’s attempts to set her up with her acquaintances. The idea of hooking up for a weekend with a stranger was just a little too scary.

    Wow, ladies. Check him out, Maya said.

    Lizzy turned her head slightly so she could check out the man Maya had indicated without tipping him off. A tall lean frame, adorned by a tuxedo greeted her. Dark hair was styled off of his chiseled, handsome face.

    A face that was all too familiar.

    Oh my God, she muttered.

    What? Crystal asked. Do you know him?

    Lizzy could only nod. The cocktail party and fancy Vegas hotel faded into the background, and suddenly she was six years younger and getting ready to go to her high school prom. His eyes watched her walk nervously down the stairs, then slid away from her, disinterested.

    Now his eyes were fixed, staring out the window. Still not focused on her.

    Who is he?

    Um…an old acquaintance, she said, then spared a glance for her friends. Crystal looked worried. Did she look that shocked to see him?

    Oh? Because you look like you’ve seen a ghost, Crystal said.

    Yeah, a ghost. A ghost from her past.

    I’ll be right back.

    She pushed up from the table and headed for him, and when his eyes didn’t move from the window, she had half a mind to keep walking. To not stop to talk to him, reconnect with him. But she couldn’t resist. Steeling her spine, she plastered on her most confident smile, and headed for her first crush.

    Ian Davis stared out the window, taking in the bright lights of the Vegas Strip, and tried to figure out how he'd gotten here.

    The divorce had been difficult. He and
