  Opal Carew

  She never meant for this to happen. She never thought she'd be caught between making her business a success and following her heart. But with her beloved nail polish business in jeopardy, a face from her past offers her a deal she just can't refuse: marry him, and her business will be saved. However, her knight in shining armor isn't looking for a platonic business deal. He wants their marriage to be real...in every way. Some loves are easy. Others are taboo. And one woman is about to see how far she can push the boundaries.

  Excerpt

  As River approached the glass door of the restaurant, a woman in black pants and a crisp white shirt opened the door for her.

  “Good evening,” the woman said. “Welcome to The Carousel.”

  “Thank you.” River was a little intimidated by the posh décor as she stepped inside. “I’m a little late for a reservation. It’s in my name. River Cassidy.”

  “Of course, Ms. Cassidy. I’ll take you to your table.”

  The woman led her through the restaurant and down a hallway, then stopped in front of a door.

  River followed her inside and realized it was a private dining room with a chandelier of candles over the table, a lovely floral arrangement on the table and—

  Her heart stopped as she saw the man rising to his feet from one of two upholstered armchairs arranged by a corner fireplace.

  “River. How nice to see you again.”

  Her chest clenched as she took in his chiseled jaw, full lips, perfectly proportioned nose, and mesmerizing indigo eyes.

  She had hoped she’d never see Kane Winters again.

  The sight of him triggered an array of painful memories. She remembered how sweet it had been to feel his arms around her, his lips brushing hers. His muscular body over her. His cock driving into her and taking her to heaven.

  And she remembered how he’d betrayed her…and humiliated her.

  “You’re nailpolishlover209?”

  He smiled and walked toward her as the hostess exited, closing the door behind her.

  “Yes, that’s me.”

  “I’m not staying.” She turned and reached for the door handle.

  “You owe me dinner.”

  She frowned. “Order what you want. I’ll leave my credit card number with the hostess.”

  “I don’t care about that. What I want is to spend time with you.” He smiled. “I would think I’d get more than sixty seconds for my five thousand dollars.”

  She turned around, fuming. “I don’t want to spend time with you.”

  “But you will.” He pulled out a chair, waiting for her to take a seat. “Because you always honor your word.”

  Anxiety coiled through her. He was right and they both knew it. She walked stiffly to the table and sat down. He guided the chair forward, then picked up the linen napkin that had been folded into a swan and shook it out, then handed it to her. He always had been quite the gentleman. She took the napkin, the brief contact of his fingers brushing hers sending sparks flashing along her nerve endings, throwing her wildly off balance.

  He sat down across from her and placed his own napkin on his lap. She imagined the linen brushing over his thick, muscular thighs. Remembered what it felt like to have her legs wrapped around them.

  “You know I never would have agreed to dinner if I’d known it was with you,” she said.

  “But you really have no choice. When you put out an offer like that, you have to take what you get.”

  “And I got you.”

  He smiled. “Yes.”

  He was far too pleased with himself and she hated it.
