The boys are back, and Torey Hope is better than ever. When Decker Morgan returns to Torey Hope, he has no time for love and distractions. Always in control, his loyalties lie with himself and his family. His only interest is putting down roots and expanding his family’s business.
Kate Turner had planned to leave Torey Hope after college, but she found that being there for her family took precedence. When she lands her dream job working for Decker at his family’s business, The Center+, she realizes that Torey Hope is where she’s supposed to be.
When Decker hires Kate she turns his world upside down. She’s brilliant, funny, beautiful, and completely off limits, due to Decker’s self-imposed rules concerning work and family. Kate knows a secret that will make their attraction for one another a little less taboo, but she needs to convince Decker to take a chance.
Decker has to decide if he’ll give in to a forbidden romance or keep his tight control firmly in hand. Kate is possibly his perfect girl, but unexpected chaos and havoc at work threaten to tear her away.
Will he find the courage to let go or will he lose the only girl he’s ever wanted to keep close?

MY REVIEW 4.5 STARS.
This story is set in the town of Torey Hope. If you have read the previous books by A.D. Ellis in the Torey Hope series you will now a lot about Torey Hope and this family. but if like me this is your first book - introducing you to this series you may get a little confused but you can catch on soon enough.
This book is Decker's story. Oh Decker is Mr. Serious and all business. He has one goal since going off to school/ college with his twin and cousins; the center+. Nothing was going to get in the way of that. Absolutely nothing, it's what he and his family have been working towards. Even his girlfriend of three years wasn't going to stop him, his family and business are everything to him.
"You know that the guys and I have planned on going back to Torey Hope and expanding The Center. This has been our plan since before our first day in college and we've never wavered from it."
Kate Turner has known Decker Morgan's family pretty much her whole life. Torey Hope is a small town after all, but she has her own ties with the family. When a job opens up at the center+ that would suit level-headed smart Kate, she grabs the opportunity - not revealing her identity until the very last minute. I really liked Kate - she was a force even up against all the different personalities of these men. She held her own - knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to voice it either.
Decker is uptight. Kate not so much. Right from the start I just couldn't imagine Decker enjoying himself, or even going after someone- honestly I just couldn't imagine Decker being sexy. He was in business mode from the get-go and he even lay down the rules when him and the boys came home. My favourite thing about this was watching how she completely unraveled Decker - it made me so giddy.
"...I ache for you, my brain short circuits around you, I lose all control. I don't lose control for anyone, but then you waltzed in..."
So I was actually really surprised how much I loved this story. When I started it I wasn't expecting to - the reason is I can't usually get through a book that isn't told from either/both of the characters' POV. For me I can't get a connection with the story that way but I really liked this story. Yes it took a bit to get my head around the family- It's a big family but I caught on soon enough and fell in love with the other family members as well as Decker. I probably won't read many other books in this style of writing but will certainly read the others in this series because I fell in love with the other characters. I loved how this was done too - the angst had me on the edge of my seat. Because it really effected all the characters and it was done well. And who knew Decker could be hot?
