Levi
It's no secret I was born from money. And I'm destined to take over the family business, King Cosmetics when my father retires.

At least that was the plan. 

Until my father decided to impose some stupid rule about being married before I take the reigns. Everything I've worked for hangs in the balance and the future of the company is in jeopardy without a King behind the controls.  

I never considered Becca part of the plan for taking over, but when one kiss leads to so much more, I can't help but wonder if she's the answer to my problem.

Becca
There are two things I love - my beauty blog and Levi King. 

Coming from the same social circle has given me ample opportunity to crush on the next generation of King Cosmetics, but he made it clear a long time ago that I would never be anything more than "like family" to him.

Feeling the need for some serious changes in my life, I start shaking things up. 

It wasn't part of my plan to kiss Levi, but one kiss could never be enough. When that kiss turns into a relationship and I find out that Levi's been keeping a secret, I begin to question if our love affair was too good to be true.

Looks like we're about to find out if we can truly build flawless foundations for the rest of our lives. After all 425 Madison is the perfect place to fall in love.


My Thoughts…

Becca has been in love with Levi since she was 12 years old.   He pushes her drunken attraction away when she visits him in college, and she decides she is over him.   Love isn’t that easy to get over.     They live in the same complex, Becca is his sister’s roommate, so you know that they see each other.    All it takes is one kiss in the hallway and it is game over for Levi and Becca.   The attraction heats up, the love comes rushing back, and it takes all that they have not to rush right into the bedroom. 
I love this story.   It is one of my most favorites in the 425 Madison series so far.    Becca and Levi are wealthy, educated, and strong willed.   They both are going after what they want in life and together they will accomplish it.   Levi needs Becca to get CEO of his family’s company but that is not why he is wants her.   He shows his love for her with each touch, word, and fear that if she finds what he is hiding she will run.     Becca wants to earn her own way; she doesn’t want hand outs and she is willing to put in the hard work to get where she wants.   
Lauren Helms takes two amazing characters and brings them together in the most perfect way.

Excerpt 
Copyright @ Lauren Helms 2020


"Em, is there anything at Envirogal open? I don't know, maybe in research and
development?
Or even the finance department? Maybe it's time to put my degrees to use?"
She pops out her bottom lip. "I really don't think we have any openings that would fit
what you're looking for or would enjoy. But I will definitely talk to HR on Monday." I
deflate a little at her response. Damn it. She was a great resource in the field I would
want to work in since I clearly have to work.
"Oh, you should talk to Levi. King Cos is always hiring. They are just so much bigger
than Envirogal. I'm sure he'd be able to find you a great job!" She's all excited about
the prospect, she's also completely unaware of my distaste for her brother, Levi King.
Well, if she is aware, she does a great job of ignoring it. Just the thought of her tall,
slender, dark-haired, brown-eyed brother makes me twitchy. Then, of course, my next
thought goes to the fact that he now lives just down the hall. Which means at any time,
he could just show up. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Emmy's relationship with
her brother is stronger than ever. She deserves it since she has some of the worst
parents, but I was as happy as a clam not seeing Levi on a regular basis.

I've known Levi King since I was a freckle-faced, braces-wearing preteen. We've
always gotten along but were never friends. With him being two years older than us
and seeing him being a nice big brother to Emmy, instead of an asshole like a lot of the
other brothers in our social circle, I had it bad. My crush on him grew pretty quickly way
back then. Unfortunately for me, that crush never really faded, but instead grew as the
years went by. That is, until college.
It all ended one night in my Sophomore year. Emmy and I visited him at Harvard one
weekend. He was a senior and surprisingly welcomed a visit from his sister. He took us
out with a few of his friends to their local hang out and, well, let's just say I had a lot to
drink. I decided with my liquid courage that I'd flirt a little. He flirted back, to my
surprise and extreme excitement. Toward the end of the night, I thought I was actually
getting somewhere. So, when I finally kissed him, I was in heaven. Until he pushed me
away and told me I was drunk, and he'd never take advantage of a woman under the
influence. Okay, so I can commend that. But drunk me just kept pushing until he
delivered his final blow. "Becca, you're like a sister to me, nothing can ever happen
between us."

Ouch. You know what's worse than being friend-zoned? Sister-zoned.
