You know the type of man who’s filthy rich, and has everything he desires?

That’s me, billionaire hedge fund manager, Khenji Halifax. On the outside, I’m the picture of success. Internally, I’m numb – a forty-year old virgin with a dark past that haunts me daily. I’ve punished myself to a life of loneliness because there’s no way a woman can or should handle what I have to offer.

So, I ignore all them. All of them. Until her…

I first saw her at a business function–a beautiful younger woman in a striking red dress.

From the moment our paths crossed, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Avoiding women has been easy all my life, but there’s something about her I can’t ignore. I can tell right away she’s not like me. She’s good. Decent.

Why would a woman like her walk right up to me and introduce herself? I know I shouldn’t be interested, but she feels like what I’ve always been missing.

The darkness in me tells me to leave her alone, but no matter how many times I shut her out, my heart keeps pulling me back.
