His Allure Her Passion by Juliana Haygert
Synopsis
In his father’s eyes, Dylan Deveraux is just a playboy spending the family fortune on prostitutes, alcohol, and fast cars. And it isn't even with the cars his father produces. Because of that, his father forbids his presence at the ball that will mark the launch of the US plant of his company, strategically scheduled on Valentine’s Day.
Hayley Allen is a failing model with the worse luck in the world. She always ends up in the hands of cruel designers and photographers. At least, that’s what she tells herself. Better than admit having a weak nervous system that always reacted during her gigs. Desperate, she would do anything to help her career.
Dylan shows up at her door, wasted as usual. Friends for a long time, Hayley is the only one able to put up with Dylan’s bullshit, and he appreciates that, but not the way her heart wants.
Even though he doesn't believe in Valentine's Day, Dylan has an idea for his father's ball. When he suggests a deal to Hayley, a deal that could finally put her in the spotlight of success and help him impress his father, she doesn't hesitate. Even if it means hurting her heart a little more.

Excerpt
On tiptoes,
Dylan crossed the short corridor and found Hayley sleeping on the couch. She
looked peaceful, but he doubted she was really comfortable there. The pillow was
on the floor, the comforter pressed in between her legs and arms, as if she was
hugging it, her delicate feet propped on the arm of the couch. Her long amber
hair fell around her shoulders, her tank top had ridden up, showing a piece of
her soft midriff skin, and her breasts barely fit inside her tight top.
Shit. He turned
his back to her, ashamed at having stared at her body.
But it was such
a nice body, how could he resist? He peeked at her over his shoulder. He didn’t
understand how she wasn’t a famous model yet. She was so, so
beautiful.
He smiled,
remembering the first time he saw her. They were at a party, and he spent over
six hours trying to woo her, but she didn’t fall for his bullshit. No girl had
ever resisted him—except Hayley. She was the first and only. And that’s how
their friendship was born. Even though his instinct was to try and kiss her and
sleep with her each time he saw her, Dylan had found a true friend in her, and
for that he put his physical needs aside. She was the only one who understood
his problems, his dark moments, who endured him, who saw past the bullshit, and
didn’t throw herself at him. More importantly, she didn’t care about his
fortune.
Hayley stirred,
moaned, and opened her eyes. “What are you smiling about?”
Was he smiling?
“Nothing.” He sat in an armchair beside the couch. As she sat up, she pulled the
comforter up to hide herself. “Hey, hmm, sorry. I didn’t mean to take your
bed.”
“I know.” She
smiled and her green eyes shone.
“Was I too much
of a jerk?”
“The
usual.”
Their eyes
locked and she lost her smile. There was so much he wanted to tell her, so much
shit about his life, but he was always afraid he'd push her away if she found
out every one of his little messes. Wouldn’t it be better, though? For her? To
be away from him and his bad influence? But then who would give him pep talks
and receive drunken him with open arms in the wee hours of the night? Who would
tell him everything would be okay? Who would give him a hug when he was down
because of his brother? He had driven many, many times from Princeton to New
York just to have one of those hugs.
She was one of
those rare jewels and he couldn’t afford to lose her.
