The Playboy Contract

What do to when you are attracted to a man who is not just arrogant but also he is a playboy?
Phoenix, aptly named for her spirit, must use more than her natural beauty to triumph over the arrogance of Sterling who decides he will treat her as nothing more than a commodity. What ensues is a chess match of strategies that can only have one winner…
He is too bossy to handle. How Phoenix will Manage to continue working with him when she has a lot at stake and it includes her heart as well? And what are these secret calls she isn’t aware about?

PHOENIX
What did I expect? I’d come from nothing and knew life would be hard for my sister and me. Sure, I had looks, but that attracted the wrong kind of men.
I met one—the infamous Richard Sterling with his dark good looks and titled arrogance. What possessed him to accept a challenge that he could make me into what I’d wanted all along? A successful billionaire who counted the wealthiest of old money families in Louisville among her clients.
Why did I feel that constant draw toward him, followed by being repelled?
Who was at the other end of the line with all the secret phone calls with an untitled caller that he had to disappear to share conversation with?
Why did he seem to hate me so badly? Was he jealous because I’d surpassed his plans?
I knew his scent—it was power mixed with all its trappings. I felt the lure but denied myself.
Yet, there I was with an invalid sister who needed my care. It was just the two of us.

Could we partner as we had so many times and get enough to get by? Or, could I do better than that? Did I have enough fire in my belly to throw caution to the wind and take him up on his bet? Richard was no man’s fool. Could the same be said for me?
