Blurb

From the back cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #904, October 2009, UK Edition:

The billionaire’s price…

Romy Picard will do anything to prevent her aged father from being imprisoned. But the only man who can help her is the rich, notorious Spaniard who stole her virginity and her heart three years ago…

Xavier DeVasquez could drop all charges against Romy’s father with a click of his arrogant fingers – but he sees an opportunity to have Romy in his bed one more time. This time, though, he’ll make sure that she stays on his terms…

Excerpt

From the inside cover of Mills & Boon Modern Romance #904, October 2009, UK Edition:

'You represent the only tangible entity your father possesses of any worth to me,' Xavier posed with deceptive mildness.

Something deep inside curled into a tight, painful ball, and she wanted nothing more than to turn and walk from the room, the building... anything to escape the compelling man who held her father's fate in his hands.

'You're suggesting I become a form of payment in human kind?' Each word took immense effort to enunciate, and emerged in faintly strangled tones.

'You beg leniency and attempt to bargain by offering nothing in return? Whereas marriage,' Xavier clarified succinctly, 'will be adequate recompense for me dropping all charges against your father.' He added in dry, mocking tones, 'And clearing his gambling debts.'

For a moment she lost the power to think as erotic images filled her mind...images she'd never been able to erase...Words tumbled from her lips, 'I can't marry you.'

'Then we have nothing to talk about.'
