About Blackmailing the Bad Girl
Cynical CEO, Nik Masterton, believes he’s finally met a woman who isn’t interested in his money…until she vanishes with a hefty amount of it. He’s been searching for her ever since and has finally found her doing a stint in Holloway prison for stealing...from someone else. Clearly, he’s just one of many. Now she’s coming out, and it’s time for a little payback.
After two years in prison, Summer Delaney is determined she’s never going back. While she had good reasons for doing what she did, it’s time to move on to a new life and earn an honest living. Unfortunately, there’s a glitch in her plan, and he’s waiting at the gate as she comes out.
Nik isn’t above using blackmail to make Summer work for him until he decides just how he’ll get his revenge. But this time they’re both determined to keep their distance. Right until the inconvenient attraction explodes between them...
Excerpt
Her
head hurt, her brain throbbing painfully against her skull. She had no clue
what was going on. She wanted order in her world. Was that too much to ask?
“Please
go,” she said.
He
didn’t say anything, and she stared at his feet. He had long toes.
She
tried again. “I’ll be fine. I’ve been looking after myself for a long time. I
do not need anyone—especially you—to take care of me. I don’t know what you
want from me. And I feel like crap.” Her voice was rising, and she couldn’t
seem to stop it. “I just want to be alone.” Finally, she raised her gaze to his
face. “Please.”
His
brows were drawn together in a frown; it looked like he was just as confused as
she was. He opened his mouth, then closed it again and ran a hand through his
hair. He looked nothing like he was supposed to, and he was knocking her off
balance.
Shoving
his hands in his pockets, he brushed past her, heading into the living room.
She turned to watch as he searched the floor, found his T-shirt, socks, boots,
then sat on the bed to put them on. Fully dressed, he stood up.
“Are
you okay for money? Do you need an advance?”
Something
inside her snapped. “Stop it! I’m not some sort of sad charity case. I can look
after myself.” She waved a hand toward the front door. “I don’t know what you
want from me.”
“I—”
“But
right now, I don’t care. I just want to be alone. Go.” She pointed in the
direction of the front door. And finally, at long last, he went.
He
hesitated at the door.
Agh!
“Last
night—”
“Last
night was a one-off. You understand that? As in—never going to happen again.”
“You
enjoyed it.”
“I
also enjoyed the chocolate cake and the champagne. But you know what?
Ultimately, they made me feel like crap. So they’re also going on the
never-again list. Just like you.”
His
eyes narrowed. He wasn’t happy. But he gave a brief nod. “I’ll see you
tomorrow.”
And
he was gone.
She
sank down onto the bed, lay back, and stared at the ceiling.
How
the hell was she ever going to get through the next few weeks, or however long
it took for him to get tired of tormenting her? Or whatever it was he was
doing.
One
day at a time.
And
no kissing.
About Nina Croft
Growing up in the cold, wet,
north of England, Nina Croft spent a lot of time dreaming of faraway sunnier
places and ponies. When she discovered both, along with a whole load of other
things, could be found between the covers of a book, her life changed forever.
Later, she headed south,
picked up the perfect husband along the way, and together they volunteered to
work in Africa. There they discovered a love of exotic places and a dislike of
9-5 work. Afterward they spent a number of years travelling (whenever possible)
intermingled with working (whenever necessary.) Eventually they stumbled upon a
remote area in the mountains of southern Spain and the small almond farm they
now call home.
Nina spends her days reading,
writing and riding her mare, Gencianna, under the blue Spanish skies—sunshine
and ponies. She reckons this is proof that dreams really can come true if you
want them enough.
