She thought she was negotiating a business deal. He had other plans entirely.
Brooke Mortimer doesn’t do relationships—too messy, too risky, too distracting from building her empire. But American executive Logan McManus isn’t taking no for an answer, and his relentless pursuit is wearing down all her defenses.
When their partnership negotiations turn into steamy encounters that leave her breathless and aching for more, Brooke breaks her cardinal rule: never mix business with pleasure.
Big mistake.
Because Logan isn’t just after her body—he’s after her company. And when his corporate betrayal leaves her with nothing but heartbreak and bankruptcy, Brooke learns the most dangerous lesson of all: Never trust a man who makes you forget your own name in bed.
But Logan’s not giving up without a fight. And this time, he’s playing for keeps.
Some men are worth the risk. Others will destroy you completely.
