I'm actually looking forward to reading more books by this author if they're all like this.Ī.E. Of course, there's always something that happens that makes the couple part and I'm pleased to say that it was neither of their faults in this one! Nevertheless, they part ways for a while and Ryder's admission of his love and the things he did to try and win her back were really nice. It sort of bloomed over time out of all the sex and time they spent together. I actually enjoyed reading them fall for each other. Of course feelings emerge over time and what started off fake soon turns real. The perfect solution: get married and both get to keep the businesses they love. Only Scarlett runs a business he's trying to take over and is refusing to step down from a leading role. A woman he spent the night with after flying back out to America to attend to his business dealings across the pond. To stop him from losing the business he loves he has to find a wife. The title and all business related to it will pass to the oldest married grandchild, and that isn't Ryder. They discuss business and what's going to happen when his grandfather dies. So we're introduced to Ryder as he arrives home to see his grandfather after a fall in which he broke his hip. I haven't read any previous books in this series but each book is a stand alone. She might be my latest conquest but I have a feeling Scarlett King might just conquer me.

I just didn’t bargain on finding my one night stand across the boardroom table the next day. The bite of her teeth on my shoulder just as we both reach the edge. The scrape of her nails across my chest as she screams my name. The skim of Scarlett King’s hair over my body as she bends over. To take my mind off business I need a night that’s all pleasure. Now, the only way I can save the empire I built is to inherit the title I’ve never wanted- so I need a wife. Or so I thought until my world is turned upside down. I could never limit myself to just one woman. New York is now my kingdom.īack in Britain my family are fighting over who’s the next Duke of Fairfax. I was born into British aristocracy, but I’ve made my fortune in Manhattan.
