Mine to Have


Jade Sinner - 2016
    ***Max... I didn't ask for any of it. I didn't want any of it. I had a life. A playboy reputation and money to burn. But then it happened...all the things I didn't want... Most of my family gone—taken by a distracted driver. My father's multi-billion-dollar conglomerate thrust upon me. And her, Lacy, my niece (sort of), in need of a guardian. Here's the moral of this story (the only one): life doesn't give us what we want. Or does it? Three years later...Lacy's an adult and right under my nose, almost literally. No longer a girl, she's a woman with sexy curves and a way of taking over my every thought. I know it isn't right—she calls me uncle—but then again...maybe it is time for life to give me what I want. After all, she was given to me. She's mine to have. **These characters are not really related. Warning: This is a fun, dirty book about forbidden love with a predictable HEA. If you like that sort of thing, it's guaranteed to make you grin. There's no cheating, and it's embarrassingly hot. We took a storyline that everyone has heard and pushed it beyond its limits. Then again, this quick read might not be for you, but if it is, we promise not to tell your secret. If you decide to give Mine to Have a try, know you were warned! Max will have you calling UNCLE!
