An Enticing Debt to Pay


Скачать книгу

      Dial R for Revenge…

      Forgiveness is a foreign concept to wealthy investment trader Jonas Deveson. Someone has been stealing from him. He’s got a good idea who it is and she’s going to pay.…

      Seeing the harsh lines that bitterness has carved into Jonas’s handsome features, Ravenna Ruggiero knows he’ll never see the shades of gray in her actions.

      Jonas blackmails Ravenna into working as his housekeeper to pay off her debt, but living under the same roof leads to unexpected yet forbidden temptation, and Jonas is no longer sure who is being punished!

       Jonas would make her pay for what she’d done.

      He’d make sure Ravenna learned the value of the money she’d taken, and when he’d finished with her she’d understand the value of hard work too. She’d repay her debt in full. There’d be no easy escape if she tried batting those long eyelashes at him.

      The realisation stilled his impetuous need to taste her. Yet he couldn’t draw back. He was trapped by a hunger sharper and more potent than he’d known in years.

      That infuriated him even more than the missing money. He burned with it. The fire in his belly was white-hot, with a virulent mix of lust and self-disgust at his weakness.

       AT HIS SERVICE

       From glass slippers to silk sheets

      From washing his sheets to slipping between them, from ironing his shirts to ripping them off … When the job description said ‘full benefits package’, this wasn’t quite what she had in mind!

      But when you work for a man who’s used to getting everything he wants, how do you stop yourself becoming his latest acquisition?

      CHAPTER ONE

      ‘I’M AFRAID THE latest audit has thrown up an...irregularity.’

      Jonas looked across his wide, polished desk and frowned as his Head of Finance shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

      What sort of irregularity could make Charles Barker palpably nervous? He was the best. Jonas made it a policy only to employ the best. He didn’t have patience for underperformers. Barker ran his part of Jonas’ business enterprise like a well-oiled machine.

      ‘A significant irregularity?’

      Barker shook his head. ‘Not in overall financial terms.’

      Since the company’s total assets figured in the billions, Jonas supposed he should be relieved, but watching Barker loosen his tie, Jonas felt a prickle of foreboding.

      ‘Spit it out, Charles.’

      The other man smiled, but it turned into a grimace as he passed his laptop across the desk.

      ‘There. The top two lines.’

      Jonas noted the first entry—a transfer of several thousand pounds. Below it another, much larger entry. No details were provided for either.

      ‘What am I looking at?’

      ‘Withdrawals against your original investment account.’

      Jonas’ frown became a scowl. He used that account now only
