Mine for Tonight

Nursing student Kara Foster has hit rock bottom: working herself ragged as a waitress to pay for school, she is evicted, robbed by her roommate and left with nothing, on the verge of living on the streets. Just as her situation becomes desperate, a reclusive billionaire named Simon Hudson appears with an offer that seems too good to be true, a deal that promises to rescue her finances while drawing her into his intense, controlling orbit. What Kara does not know is that Simon has been quietly watching over her for more than a year, unable or unwilling to admit the obsession that has taken hold of him. As she accepts his help, she steps into a world of wealth and overwhelming attraction, uncertain whether she is being saved or possessed. Short, fast and explicitly sensual, this opening installment establishes the central fantasy of the series: a damaged, powerful man and the struggling young woman who awakens something he has long denied. It sets up the questions of trust, dependence and desire that will drive their story forward, ending on the kind of hook designed to pull readers straight into the next chapter of a serialized billionaire romance.
