Harlequin Desire
Praise for
A heart tugging story that will keep you flipping the pages to the last' ~ Huntress (I hunt books) via Amazon
To-die-for executive Rand Pearson's time on the auction block was well spent, according to high bidder Corrine Martin. She needed an escort for company functions -- no strings attached. This emotionally scarred woman had no time for men -- even extremely wealthy and gorgeous ones -- and never expected desire to waylay her best-laid plans. But then she felt Rand's lips on hers, his fervent hands on her body. Suddenly business took a back seat to fiery seduction.
To Rand, Corrine was the only bright spot in a life darkened by a terrible secret. She'd agreed to an affair, but he wanted so much more. Could he persuade her to promote her "temp" to a permanent, lifelong position?
Excerpt
“Lust wasn’t something Corrine Martin was comfortable admitting she experienced. It didn’t fit with the image she’d carefully cultivated - cool sophistication from the top of her blond head to the toes exposed by her slinky gold sandals. She’d done a good job of ignoring the surging feelings and the man who inspired them - until tonight.”
