He told his cock to shut up. He’d never let it do the thinking before and he wasn’t about to start now.

She hesitated for the briefest moment. “Deal.”
When she placed her hand in his, he felt a rush of anticipation.
“And you’ll forgive my father’s debt, let us keep the house, and pay off the existing mortgage,” she said in a rush.
He sighed. “Fine.”
Her face relaxed a bit. “Fine.”
Bloody hell. He wasn’t sure when things had gotten so out of hand, but somehow Trevor had acquired himself a mistress.
