Synopsis: Aiden Kent never expected to see Noelle Rana again. He’s determined to keep his distance from the beautiful enigma wrapped in denim and leather. He can’t trust anyone with the last name Rana. But he made a promise to his dying mother, and it isn’t long before Noelle invades his personal space. He can’t stop thinking about the exotic beauty’s alluring curves.He wants the daughter of his enemy, and he’s determined to have her…if only for one night.
If Noelle wants to move forward with her life, she must make a deal with the devastatingly gorgeous, broody millionaire Aiden. He made a promise years ago, and she’s come to collect—even if it means facing down the only man who ever broke her heart. And there’s a really good chance he’ll do it again.
EXCERPT
“What exactly do you want from
me, Noelle?” Aiden shifted forward, his tone hardening, the patrician lines of
his face sharpening.
Noelle inhaled a deep breath…a
big mistake. His clean, fresh, rain-and-earth scent filled her until she could
practically taste it. Taste him.
The
hell? Where had
that thought come from? Whatever feelings she’d once had for him had been
ground under the heel of humiliation, rejection, and pain.
“I need you to pay my graduate-school
tuition.” She paused. “For Boston University.”
“Boston University,” he repeated,
ice dripping from each syllable. “You’re applying to Boston University.”
“Have applied,” she corrected,
voice soft. Wary. “And have been accepted with a partial scholarship. I start
in January. I can cover all of my other expenses. Only the rest of the tuition
has to be paid.”
“What are you playing at,
Noelle?” he growled. Anger seemed to radiate from him, beating at her. “Of all
the cities and colleges, you choose here?
Do you think I’m stupid? I’m not one of your father’s marks. You can’t con me.
What else aren’t you telling me?”
“Nothing,” she insisted,
insulted. “I have an apartment and a job. I arranged those before I left
Chicago. I’ve been providing for myself and others for years without your
assistance, and I really don’t want it now, but I have no choice.”
Screw this. Yes, her father
hadn’t been a model citizen—unless it was a citizen of the Cook County DOC. But
she wasn’t him. Damn if she’d let him—him—make
her feel…dirty. Unworthy.
She stalked forward, allowing
anger and hurt—yes, damn it, hurt—to propel her forward when caution would’ve
been prudent…safer.
“Look, believe what you want. I
could quote the damn Bible from Joseph to Jesus, and it wouldn’t change your
opinion or erase your suspicions. But if you think coming to you and asking for
help was easy, then all those millions have made you soft in the head.” She
snorted, shaking her head. “At this moment, though, I need you to keep your
promise to Caroline more than I care about offending your tender sensibilities
with my presence. She wanted me to have the money. So how about this? Send the
tuition payment directly to the university, and you don’t have to worry about
seeing me again. You can go on pretending I don’t exist, and I can forego the
pleasure of you staring at me like I’m something you scraped off the bottom of
your shoe.”
Giving him a tight smile, she
pivoted and marched for the door, desperate to escape the room before she did
something stupid…like allow the tears stinging her eyes to fall. Damn it! She’d
been teased, bullied, and sneered at more times than she could remember, much
less count. Yet none of those mean girls or leering guys who assumed she was an
easy fuck just because of her last name had been able to drag one tear from
her.
Only Aiden possessed that power.
Damn him.
“Noelle, we’re not finished.
Don’t you walk out that door.”
Like hell she wouldn’t. She was a
grown-ass woman. Self-sufficient. Mature.
So she did the only thing a
grown-ass, self-sufficient, mature woman could do in her situation…
She flipped him off and walked
out.

Synopsis: He promised to stay away…but some promises are made to be broken
Plain-Jane computer programmer Khloe Richardson needs a date—one to make the prince of her dreams jealous. Maybe then he'll finally see her as a desirable swan and not the ugly duckling in the second office from the left.
But when she bids on a bachelor at a charity auction, the man she wins is millionaire Niall Hunter—who once made intense, passionate love to her and then left without a word. She's determined not to let her guard down again—among other things—around the infamous Irish lothario.
Niall never imagined his penance for one hot-as-hell night with his best friend’s little sister would be transforming her from a shy wallflower to a sultry siren. Helping her attract another man is torture...especially when he promised his friend he’d stay away. Plus, she wants forever, and he's not a forever kind of guy. But Niall can't stop wanting her. Can't stop touching her. Can't stop, period. And damn if he can remember why he has to...
