Joy Adare
Hot Raider
She was prepared for everything…except him.
After being abandoned by her fiance and parents, Emma Warwick is done with anything personal. Her grandfather had trusted her to run the family tea business, and that is just what she’s going to do. She just has to prove to the sexist board of directors that she is the right CEO for the job.
Stefano Marek always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Warwick Tea. Taking over her company could turn the tide in his revenge against those who hurt his family.
But Emma is nothing like he expected. Warm, kind, and outsmarting his takeover at every turn. He should be glad someone is sabotaging her products, ruining the business. He needs her company.
But what if he needs her more?

Reading the Hot Streak series early
If you want to read the Hot Streak series early, an ARC copy is how it happens: a free advance copy through BookFunnel ahead of release, in exchange for nothing more than your honest opinion once you’ve read it. Reviews are voluntary and they are yours. An honest two-star review from a reader who didn’t get on with the book is worth more to everyone than a five-star one written out of politeness.
One list for everything Joy Adare writes
Following Joy Adare puts you on the list for every future release, with the chance to join each ARC team as it opens. You are always asked before a book goes out, and you can sit any release out when the timing is wrong. New to this? The reader guide covers how teams work, and the review guide covers what to write when you’ve finished.
