His Gift


Ashlee Price - 2018
    For good.
 The moment Jordan’s doe eyes met mine, I knew I had to have her.  Hard not to when a gorgeous woman stumbles into your life. After I claimed her sweet innocence, we lost touch and I focused on building my fortune.  Seeing Jordan while I was taking a holiday break in a small town was an unexpected surprise.  She’s everything I want in a woman. 
 Kind. Smart. An amazing mother.  But she’s different now.  Her guard is up.  She can pretend to hate me all she wants but she can’t deny our magnetic attraction. And her son? He sure does look and act a lot like me.
 This holiday season, she needs me more than ever. A snowball of expenses doesn't help. It's obvious that her son needs a father figure. And don't get me started on her brother. Let's just say we couldn't have gotten off on any more of a wrong foot. I didn't expect to feel this way. All I know is I'm sure I don't want this to end. When we're alone, I'll make her body tremble with pleasure. I'll make her mine. Despite the odds stacked against us. After all, I have a special gift for her.
