The minute she walked into his life, he knew he had to have her. Ainsley Patterson was exactly the type of woman CEO Steven Devonshire desired. Business had brought them together, and they both had the same need to succeed. Why not tempt her with an offer she couldn't refuse?
But Ainsley wouldn't be won so easily. Her buxom-bombshell exterior hid a major grudge -- against the man who'd ignored the dowdy journalist she'd been. So if he wanted her, he'd have to give her the one thing he'd never given any woman -- his heart.
Excerpt
"The woman who walked up behind him was…exquisite. She had thick, ebony-colored hair that hung from a high ponytail at the back of her head. Her dark hair and alabaster skin first captured his attention but as his gaze skimmed down her body, he was entranced by her feminine figure. Her blouse was slim-fitting with cap sleeves and a nipped-in waist, and then the curvy hips were hugged lovingly by the black skirt. She was his dream girl come to life. The thick red belt around her waist just accentuated her gorgeous figure.
And then he caught a glimpse of her legs and the silk hose that encased them.
He nearly groaned out loud. She was a Betty Page look-alike. That classic fifties pin-up girl who had captured his teenage imagination and never let it go."
