STAND ALONE CONTEMPORARY BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE
Billionaire heiress Emma Devaroux has been living a safe-yet-mundane existence in Georgia for too long, but when she learns her sister, Joslyn, has been arrested, she heads to New York City to find out what really happened. Unfortunately, as an unemployed debutante, she’s not exactly qualified to be leading an investigation. But help is at hand in the form of the handsome, former military man Jace Lance who happens to be the one who got her sister arrested in the first place.
Jace thinks Emma is crazy for even considering working with him since he’s the one who stopped Joslyn from killing his former client. However, he can’t deny that the sexy southerner is in over her head when her tycoon cousins try to hire him to make sure Emma doesn’t find out the truth about what really caused her sister’s murderous actions.
As they begin to uncover the truth together –and get to know each other intimately – it becomes clear that the more answers they get, the more danger Emma is in. Jace is determined to protect her, but how can he keep her safe when her whole family is in on the conspiracy?
EXCERPT
“Here’s what’s going to happen.
You’re going to turn around and go up those stairs. Once you’re out of here,
you’re going to forget you ever met me and pretend that there’s nothing Victoria
Green can tell you that you don’t already know.”
A deep anger settled in her gut at
the idea of this virtual stranger telling her what to do. “And if I don’t?”
Jace leaned in, until his face was
inches from hers. “Well, for starters, I will throw you over my damn shoulder
and carry you out of here until you’re far enough away I’m sure you’ll leave me
alone. Think I’m bluffing?”
For a long moment, Emma debated the
merits of slapping Jace right in his smug face. Screw slapping—punching would
be much more effective.
“What’s it gonna be, Georgia? Are you
walking out on your own or do you need assistance?”
Emma shook her head. Jace wasn’t
worth the bruised knuckles. “I’d rather avoid being touched by a Neanderthal,
thank you very much,” she said in her sweetest voice, laying her natural accent
on a bit thicker than normal.
If he wanted to get rid of her, fine.
She’d leave gracefully. Her anger simmered just beneath the surface as she
walked up the stairs. Let him win the battle. But she sure as hell wasn’t going
to give up and when all was said and done, she’d win the war.
