Synopsis:
Passion was never in the bargain
Addison Reed lost her fiancé, but she’ll do whatever it takes to protect his legacy. When the gorgeous and arrogant landowner, Brazilian billionaire Bruno Duarte, who is thwarting her at every turn, refuses to meet with her, she puts her plan into action.
He will listen to her
Bruno’s plan was simple: return to Brazil and marry to fulfill his father’s dying wish. But when his engagement crumbles, and he’s then stranded with an idealistic woman hell-bent on saving a tribe of people on his land, he sees the perfect solution. If his feisty and passionate abductor agrees to a bogus marriage, he’ll relocate the tribe.
With the Brazilian heat rivaling the growing heat of their desire, will Bruno and Addison abandon their respective plans and give in to each other, or will their differences tear them apart?
EXCERPT
“If you want to sleep with someone, just be discreet about it. But don’t lie to me. I can’t stand lies.” Her voice trembled at first and gained strength at the end.
He couldn’t help the way his lips
curled into a smile. “I do want to sleep with someone.”
She bit her lip and nodded with quiet
dignity. “Thank you for your honesty.”
“I won’t be the least discreet about
it.” He stepped closer, feasting on the shape of her luscious lips, the vein
pulsing on her neck. “In fact, when it does happen, we’ll need soundproof
walls.”
Not wanting to miss her reaction, he
stared into her eyes and enjoyed the blend of surprise and surrender in them.
Her ragged breath overpowered the sound of faraway crickets and frogs. He had
promised not to kiss her, and he hadn’t. But, by God, he hadn’t promised not to
touch her. Not to share every filthy thought that crossed his mind.
Without being able to resist, he closed
the remaining gap between them. With slightly trembling fingers, he outlined
the waves of her hair ever so carefully. Maintaining control proved a hard
task, and he feared if she responded, he would pull her against him and kiss
her with the lust lodged in his throat.
“That’s exaggerating.”
“Not for what I have in mind.” He
stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. She gasped, and he smothered a
groan. Every time she was near him, his resolve to keep her at an arm’s length
evaporated. With her eyelashes shadowing her freckled cheeks and pink, parted
lips, Addie’s state of arousal confirmed what her words tried to mask—she
wanted him.
He dipped his head down, coming close
to breaking his promise not to kiss her unless she verbally asked him.
