The Magnate's Takeover

By Mary McBride

Libby Jost's plan to save her family home has just hit a snag: a sexy stranger with a generous streak and a penchant for distracting her. How could she be expected to focus when David could render her senseless with just a kiss?

Billionaire David Halstrom wants what Libby has. It should have been a simple business deal, but instead he…lied. Now amid a maelstrom of intense passion and twisted hotel sheets, David's white lie could cost him the one thing he's never been able to buy... Libby's love.
