An ice queen. A billionaire. A bribe turned to hell. And a date that leads Griffin into the wrong arms...at just the right moment. We're smack dab in the middle of the biggest land development deal we've ever had. Sure, it's with our brothers, but there's still an expectation to uphold. Which is why it's all that much more difficult to keep my head on straight. Especially when a certain someone ends up in the hospital, and I spend the night with her. It looks bad, I know, but I wasn't leaving her. But now she's pushing me away, like she's punishing me for helping her. The girl is messed up. And don't give me any of that crap about her healing from her past. Yolanda's just cold. She's looking to make me look bad. Until another certain someone comes into the picture. No, she doesn't like that at all, so now all bets are off and the tables are turned. I can't wait to see how she reacts when this other woman shows up unexpectedly, a half day's drive away from home, just to see me. We'll see then what Yolanda's true colors are. *** Griffin is just like every other man. He wants me just to fulfill some locker room bet between him and his brothers. They all know who I am and what I used to be. It is all because of one of the Ford brothers and his big mouth. I will never live this legacy down. I will never find true happiness. I will always be hurt because of something that I did for survival. So when Griffin proves me wrong, you will understand why I must send him away. Because I know that deep down it will never work. Until I am given a grave scare and in that same breath a miracle swoops in and shows me how blind I have been. I am a fool. But will I also be a lonely fool? Only an encounter with the devil can show me if that is true. But it could all come tumbling down, anyway, because of another Ford brother, who has broken a cardinal rule. Will this family ever know peace? Will I? Only time will tell... HEA (Happily Ever After) Billionaire romance Medical romance Military romance Medium heat Course language Mild cliffhanger ending
