Hard Bargain
Alexa Hart - 2019
Every woman’s wildest dream… richer than sin and built like a god. He may be gorgeous, but this is strictly business. There’s no way I could actually fall for Luke… right? I never thought in a million years that I would be seriously considering selling my v-card to a perfect stranger, but here I am… desperate. My brother’s life hangs in the balance and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to keep him alive. If that means doing Luke Inman… then so be it. I hear he never stays with a woman for longer than a month. And the payment for being his girl for that time is, well… let’s just say… I need that money. He can literally have any woman he wants. A virgin, young enough to be his daughter isn’t exactly on the top of his list. If I can get him accept my offer, I’ll do whatever it takes to please him. He can have all of me… For one month. I know what I’m doing is wrong, but I’m out of options. The worst part of all is the more time I spend with Luke, the more I find myself wishing for him to be my first. No cheating and a guaranteed HEA!
