Just one season–and if she still doesn’t love the place, he’ll gladly pay up and she can be cashed-up and careless, with no ties to anything or anyone.

So why does Cash want to push aside those flowing skirts and lose himself between her legs?

And she won’t fall under his spell—or into his bed—without a fight.' (Publication summary)
