Clay Price has everything he's ever wanted, except the one thing money can't buy—Natalie Weston. Years ago, Clay and Natalie were in love . . . until she turned down his marriage proposal. Now Clay and his brothers are oil-rich billionaires, and they can have whatever they want. And what Clay wants is Natalie in his bed, no matter what it takes. If it means being ruthless, he'll do it.



Natalie gave up on true love years ago when the realities of the world destroyed her fairy-tale hopes. Giving up Clay is her biggest regret in life, and she's excited to see him return . . . until she finds out why. Clay's got one hell of a proposal for her: he'll save her father's business and bail Natalie out of debt if she'll agree to become his very personal assistant. It's clear that he wants more from her than just typing.



It's also clear that Natalie has no choice. This scoundrel's bet could destroy any hope they had of reconciliation—or it could bring them together once and for all . . .



Contains mature themes.
