The Billionaire Banker
Page 19
‘I have a copy of her application form at the temporary agency she used to work at.’
He smiles regretfully. Shame she had not been born a boy. He could have used her at the helm of the family instead of being a tool of consolidation.
‘Give them both to me. I will work something out with Jason.’ Victoria has never met Jason, but she knows of him. He is a master forger.
‘Thank you, Daddy,’ she says and running up to him snuggles her perfumed cheek against his. Her father’s arm comes around her shoulder and he gives her an affectionate squeeze.
‘Oh, my pretty, pretty little viper—what that man doesn’t know about you!’
She moves away from him and looks up into his eyes.
‘Daddy?’
‘Yes, Victoria.’
‘Is it very wrong what I have done?’
‘You should have left it alone, Victoria. He is a man and men, my dear, have needs, but these needs do go away.’
‘He took her to the Crafts ball.’
Her father’s eyes narrow to slits with disapproval.
Immediately she feels bad that she told him that. She wants her father to think well of Blake.
‘He’s a good man, Daddy. He’s just a bit lost. She has bewitched him. He has never done anything like this before.’
Her father says nothing but it is obvious he is not impressed.
Victoria cannot leave it alone. ‘Are you angry with me, Daddy?’ she asks, her eyes misting over.
‘Of course not. You did what you thought was best, but there is a very important lesson that a woman can learn from a dog. When a dog finds another dog’s scent on his master, he does not panic, feel threatened or hurl abuse, but merely finds it interesting. If you can cultivate that habit you will have a very happy marriage.’
When his daughter leaves, Hugo Mongomery looks out of the window at the rolling green fields of his estate and the beautiful Van Gogh clouds in the sky. He has known about Blake’s woman. Seen photos of them together.
Something about the pictures makes him worry that this might not be the end of the matter. Still, his daughter is an intelligent, cunning fox. And to date there is nothing she has wanted that has eluded her.

Book 2
Hey you,
Thank you for choosing and reading The Billionaire Banker. It is my first attempt at Contemporary Romance, and I have to say I simply loved writing it, especially the steamy scenes!
Book 2 is written through Lana’s eyes.
Once again, fate has dropped her at Blake’s feet, but he is no longer the man who upgraded her mother to first class, took care of her when she was as sick as a dog, and risked his own life to save hers. He is a cold-eyed, vengeful stranger who demands that she finish the term of the contract.
He is owed 42 days, and he will have it.
Book 2 will be out on January 24th, 2014. Until then, kiss a good-looking stranger…
