His prejudice...
Hardened cynic Dare James is furious. Some woman has gotten her claws into his grandfather. He returns in a blaze of fury to the family estate to lay down the law...only to find himself attracted to the woman he had every intention of evicting.
Her pride!
Carly Evans is horrified—she’s his grandfather’s doctor, not a gold digger! She can’t wait to wipe the smug smile from Dare’s frustratingly handsome face. Only before she knows it, Carly is caught in an inescapable web of attraction...and suddenly defying the billionaire’s command is the last thing she wants to do!
Dare moved to the left as he sensed Carly about to walk past him, but unfortunately she moved in the same direction—and before he knew it her body was plastered up against his.
Right where he’d wanted her ever since he’d watched her sexy swaying in front of him in a little green skirt that had turned her eyes the same hue.
Neither one of them moved for a heartbeat. Two. And then they both took a step back. Her hand went to her hair, as if to straighten it, and a loose strand caught on the gloss of her lipstick. Dare nearly reached out to fix it himself, but shoved his hands in his pockets at the last minute.
Another blush rose up over her creamy cheekbones and her hand shook when she brought it back down to her side. ‘This has to stop,’ she muttered, frustration etched across her brow. ‘I can’t explain…’
She stopped abruptly and Dare picked up the thread. ‘This thing between us?’
She shook her head in denial. ‘There is no thing.’
Dare smile was slow in coming. ‘Oh, there’s definitely a thing.’

IT WAS OFTEN said that Dare James was a man who had everything, and most days he’d be hard-pressed to disagree. Blessed with bad-boy good looks, and the stamina and physique any star athlete would envy, he enjoyed expensive cars, even more expensive women, and homes that spanned the globe.
A self-made billionaire by the age of thirty,
