Scandalous Liaison

Love wasn’t part of the deal. My full surrender was.

Family. For most people, the thought brought happiness or comfort. For me, the sheer mention created anger. After all, I hated my ruthless father with a passion. Unfortunately, with my brother’s impending marriage, I felt compelled to return to my hometown for a single weekend.

Recently divorced (a disgrace) from my cheating ex, the last thing I wanted was to deal with a grumpy jerk in first class while I was hyperventilating into a paper bag. My anger getting the better of me, I unleashed a barrage of nasty words seconds before lunging for the lavatory to be alone in my misery. Only Mr. Tall, Dark and Surly followed me, determined to keep me occupied until the air sickness passed.

His method of doing so?

First, a hot kiss that curled my toes. Next came my admittance to the mile high club, passion exploding between us. He was the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen, our tryst filthy and delicious. Thankfully, I’d never see him again. Imagine my surprise in learning he was Kendrick Gregory, my father’s number one enemy. What’s a black sheep daughter to do but to devise a wicked plan with Kendrick becoming my fake fiance. Only the shameful price of the deal was my complete surrender, including my full obedience.

While falling for him wasn’t part of the equation, there was nothing I could do. Now, I belonged to him. Body, heart, and soul.
