The stakes have never been higher…
When aspiring private investigator Prudence Washington delivers legal documents to Max Benton, she receives an unexpected marriage proposal. Notorious playboy Max needs a fake wife in order to receive his hefty inheritance. Agreeing to the plan will help Pru’s bank balance…and vacationing with the sexy billionaire is doing wonders for her libido.
Max spends more time in the tabloids than in the boardroom, but he’s got huge plans for a new chain of hotels. He’ll happily prove he’s turned over a new leaf by sharing a room—and unforgettable nights—with his gorgeous new “wife.” Working together to expose a saboteur only increases their combustive attraction. But can he convince the woman he drew into a lie that he’ll do anything to make this connection last?
Max let a few seconds tick by before asking once again, “Truth or dare.”
“Dare,” she answered immediately, welcoming the change of subject from Max’s “plans” for her. Now wishing she hadn’t asked about that in the first place.
“You should have picked truth,” he said. “Sure you don’t want to change your mind?”
He still hadn’t touched her, but the sexual tension was back. Buzzing between them like an electric magnet.
Pru’s legs began to feel a little weak, but she shook her head in answer to his question. The old Pru wouldn’t have backed down.
There came a moment of silence so suspended, it made Pru feel as if she were at the top of a roller coaster. Then he said, “Dance with me.”
He reached into the basket and pulled out his phone. A few seconds later, it played a fairly new club anthem that Pru recognized from the night of their nightclub wedding.
As my longtime readers know, I don’t write heroes—I turn villains into heroes, in the hottest ways possible. Max Benton, the playboy brother of Cole Benton from Vegas Baby, happens to be one of my favorite turns, because he’s a bad boy to the core. Disreputable, dishonorable, distressingly hot—and totally unapologetic about it.
I hope you enjoy watching Max get exactly what he deserves in Pru, a righteous and bodacious heroine, who’s about to turn his self-serving world inside out.
Love,
