The odd cities, the late-night excursions, the secrets simmering between us – they're all making me a little crazy, especially when he gives me one of those looks. You know the kind. He's up to something. I just know it. And I'd love to find out what. There's just one tiny problem. With his movie star looks and devious mind, he's distracting me to no end. And just maybe, I'm distracting him, too. But the worst thing? I'm pretty sure I like it. ***Wordless is a fun, full-length new adult billionaire romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily-ever-after!***
