About this ebook

A fight for her rights. A job she can’t quit. And a man who makes her burn…

It’s not Shannon Calhoun’s first rodeo. She’s supposed to be running the show. But since her father’s will landed her in a wretched cubicle, typing out press releases for her own family’s company, she’s been trapped in a job with no prospects, no control—and barely any cash.

When her old flame Billy Pagan turns up with a hundred rude questions and a thousand-dollar suit, Shannon isn’t sure if the heat she feels is from humiliation, fury, or desire. But whatever else has happened, the chemistry between them has only intensified.

Long before he became Houston’s best defense attorney, Billy had a thing for the spoiled rich girl who got away. But now that Shannon is hustling to save the family business, she's more irresistible than ever. Too bad about the murder investigation and the fraud that’s going to bring the company crashing down around her.

Unless, of course, his Texas princess actually pulls off the save of a lifetime. With Billy’s negotiating skills and Shannon’s determination, the hardest part might be keeping the business away from the pleasure . . .

    Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. This was the third book in the series, and I do not know if the series is going to continue, but I got the vibe that it was ending, and I kind of hoped to read about Ethan, and also to know what happened with their crazy mother, and read about Cass and Mason's wedding. So this is Shannon's book, the oldest sister next to Cassidy. Shannon has turned into a drunk after her father died and hearing the terms of his will and also the devastating news of the criminal activity that he and her mother did to secure their company at the start of it. She has to work closely with a previous lover Billy Pagan, whom she is strongly attracted to but feels she has to fight it because he is all wrong for her. However, Billy is not going to go for that, he is balls to the walls, going after her, and she does give, many things happen, betrayals, lies, excitement, and family unity, and a surprise!!! I wont give you spoilers my friends so please read, and I hope this is not the end..
