I'm Griffin Reed-real estate's bad boy and a cutthroat bastard. Trust is a four-letter word and everyone is disposable...except Britta Stone. Three years ago, she was my everything before I stupidly walked away. I thought I'd paid for my sin in misery-until the night I learn we have a son together and she's engaged to another man. Now I'm determined to claim her and make the three of us a family. Since Britta won't even speak to me, I have to get ruthless. I make the gorgeous, independent single mother a deal: spend twenty-four/seven with me until her wedding day-under my roof and, if I have my way, in my bed. If she doesn't love me by then, I'll leave for good. Britta vows she'll never want me again...but our stolen, passionate kisses make her a liar. I pour on the romance and slowly set about coaxing her surrender. Once she can no longer deny what's in her heart, then I'll stop at nothing to prove I more than need her.
