Nightclubmanager, Grace Butler is on a mission to buy the pub where her mother’s ashesare scattered – except the vendor wants to sell to anyone but her. And the vendorhappens to be her father…with a secret Grace will do anything to uncover.
Social worker and all-round goodguy, Jimmy Betts needs cash to buy a house for three special kids before theircare home closes. In a desperate bid for cash, he agrees to a one-time ‘job’for bad-man Karl Butler. But in a sudden turn of events, Jimmy finds himself employedby Karl’s beautiful, funny and incredibly sexy daughter, Grace.
Their lives are so differentexcept for one unifying thread – they are both trying to escape the binds oftheir tyrannical fathers. But is the key to their liberty each other?
EXCERPT:
She sat bolt upright. “Where are you going?”
“To the soup kitchen. Four of my kids have been helping outdown there today, so if you don’t need me ‘til seven--”
“Can I come?”
“What?”
“What?” Gerald echoed.
Jimmy stared at her. Was she serious? But knew he wouldn’trefuse her when her eyes were wide with that damn innocent doe-eyed look againand her cheeks flushed pink. He swallowed, clenched his hands into fists insidehis pockets.
“You want to cometo the soup kitchen?” he asked, hoping against hope he’d gotten the wrong endof the proverbial stick.
She winked, and it had as much the same effect as if she’dwrapped her hand around his penis. “Why not?”
He opened his mouth. Shut it. Opened it, took a breath, butstill nothing came out. Her smile widened. “Cat got your tongue, Jimmy Boy?”
Just a few short days ago at her mother’s pub, he’d wantedto ravish her, possess her, let her know what she did to him. And now the samedesire coursed through his veins again. She never stopped surprising him and itjust added more fuel to the already burning fire.
“And why would you want to do that?” he asked.
“Beats going into the club early,” she said, brushing pasthim.
She wandered across the room. Her slender body sashayingaround the furniture and then her piece de resistance was to snake all fivefeet nine inches of it across the oblong dining table to grab her bag--thesight of her perfect ass and even better legs sent Jimmy’s senses skyrocketing.His nostrils flared. Grace by name, Graceby nature. She was beautiful, sexy, funny, and he didn’t doubt for oneminute she knew exactly what the sight of her did to him.
She turned around and hitched the bag onto her shoulder. “Mylife is sad. I’ve got nothing else planned for the afternoon. Come on, Jimmy,help me show my father I have a life away from him. Even if it is a completelie, for now.”
He threw his hands in the air. “Fine.”
