He had a plan for her. Her getting under his skin wasn’t it.I’ll
stop at nothing to get what I want. It’s the Dyson way.
Ruthless? Maybe. But it’s what’s put me on top. And it’s
what’s going to help me get revenge on the woman who put
my family through hell.I’m going to ruin Sienna Roberts.
My plan has been in play for months. She has no idea I’m the
mysterious benefactor commissioning her artwork, or that
the downfall in store for her will be the end of her career.
But there’s something I didn’t plan for—the way her smile
and touch starts to make me forget all I blame her for…
Okay that has to be the sweetest ending to a book ever. It
really moved
me. But haven read this book from start to
finish in one sitting. I can tell
you this book is well-written and
so incredibly developed. I cannot wait to see
what she
comes up with next.
This book is about a struggling artist, but why she is
struggling is due
to a complete jack whit as I cannot say
what her brother called him. Sienna is
amazing and sweet
and ready to kill her brother the rebellious teenager. Who is
at the root of the current money issue they are having. Now
she has to come up
with thousands of dollars in order to pay
his debt. And that is just the start
of her problems. If not for
her mysterious benefactor they would not be eating,
let
alone anything else. But that is all part of a master plan.
James the jack
whit is out to destroy her. He blames her for
something that happened to his
family. And when you read
why you'll see how that could blind him to the truth.
And turn
him into the royal jackass. But as he gets to know her he see
the true
Sienna and she sees the true James or so she
thought. Then it all goes to hell
because she finds out his
secret master plan. Will he be able to fix what he
has done
and win her heart again?
Now before I ruin
this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as
I did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors
really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too.
She dropped her attention to the
numerous sketches fanned out on the floor beside her, chewing on her bottom
lip. “And I have plenty to start the painting.” Looking at him again, she
straightened from her stool. “I don’t think I’ll need to see you until next
week. Maybe Monday morning? For an hour or so? Is that okay?”
No. I can’t go that long. I
don’t want to.
Damn it. That feeling of urgency to be
around her hadn’t been part of his plan.
The plan? What plan?
Hadn’t he asked himself that exact
question only a few days ago? When he’d first visited her home? So why did
things feel so different now?
“Monday will be fine.” He dragged in a
steadying breath. “I’ll bring breakfast.”
An unreadable light flared in her eyes.
“No, that won’t be necessary.” Dropping into a fluid crouch, she collected the
sketches from the floor.
He watched her, enjoying the way the
smooth creamy line of her bent leg disappeared into the frayed hem of her denim
shorts.
Christ, her thighs are
exquisite. Almost sublime.
The urge to trace the velvet length of
flesh filled his groin with fresh heat. He bit back a groan. At this rate, he’d
never get out of the chair.
Stop
thinking of her legs then.
“Why don’t you want me to bring
breakfast?”
An almost imperceptible tension claimed
her shoulders. “I can feed myself, thank you.”
He’d made her guard go up again. Not
what he’d wanted to do at all. “I’m not saying you’re incapable of doing that.”
She looked up at him, green eyes direct.
“It wouldn’t be professional.”
He laughed. He couldn’t help himself.
“Nothing about our relationship is professional.”
She scowled and straightened, the roll
of sketches in her hand held like a sword between them. “We don’t have a
relationship.”
He studied her, his grip on his ankle
painful. “What if I want one?”
Whoa. Where had that question come from?
She let out her own laugh. It played
hell with his sanity. “We’ve had this conversation already. You hate me and
blame me for your brother’s death. I despise you and everything you stand for
and want nothing to do with you.”
“And yet we’ve just spent the last sixty
minutes talking like we’re old friends. I’ve never seen you more at ease. Not
really the behavior of someone who despises me, wouldn’t you say?”
She shrugged. “It allowed me to sketch
you without your normal pompous arrogance.” If he didn’t know better, he’d say
she was bored and indifferent to the whole situation. But he did know better. He affected her, as
much as she did him. The fluttering pulse in her neck and her shallow breath
gave her away.
Still, if he pushed it now, he would
lose everything he’d gained today. He wanted her to trust him. So he could…
Destroy
her?
The trilling chirp of her mobile phone
saved him pondering the unnerving question. She placed the drawings on a nearby
bench and hurried to the kitchen area and snatched her phone from the counter.
