Abandoned by her mother and spurned by
her father, Reina St. James is tired of being treated like a dirty little
secret. It wasn’t easy making her way into the high-risk, high-reward Wall
Street world ruled by financial kings and trust fund tyrants. But now that
she’s got a
stiletto-clad toe into one of the
swankiest firms in Manhattan, Reina is determined to prove she’s more than just
a pretty face hiding an ugly past.
For Tristan Xavier Bettencourt IV,
escaping the shadow cast by generations of family fortune has been difficult,
and success hasn’t come without sacrifice. Tristan has always put business
before pleasure… Until Reina’s curved lips prove an invitation he can’t resist.
Walking away from their explosive night
together won’t be easy, even if the heat between them might consume both of
their careers. Will Reina and Tristan risk everything by betting on each other?

Excerpt #1
My eyes skipped over a blonde in a red dress, and then quickly
returned. I hadn’t realized I’d started walking towards her until a waiter
nearly spilled my drink. She was gorgeous. And when she tipped her head back to
laugh at something the man beside her said, I decided that word was entirely
inadequate. Stunning was much more apt. Exquisitely stunning, actually. Her
creamy skin was flawless. And she was tall. I looked down, or at least she
appeared tall with the five-inch stilettos on her feet. When her open-mouthed
laugh faded into a generous smile, her wide eyes met mine. If she’d been an
investment, she would have been labeled high risk, high reward, with a warning—Don’t
buy if you can’t afford to lose.
Her lips closed around the edge of the glass in her hands, our
stare unbroken. Her eyes were the bright shade of freshly cut, well-tended
grass. And after she took a sip, white wine by the looks of it, she didn’t look
away. Her open appraisal was a lure, and I took the bait. She could have been a
model on a billboard in Times Square, or in the GQ magazine I subscribed to but
never had the time to read. I know I should’ve turned away. This girl was
clearly trouble with capital T, something I needed as much as a hole in my
head.
After doing well with the first fifty million I’d been able to
raise, I was just about to open my fund up to new investors. I didn’t have any
official commitments yet, but I had no doubt my fund was about to grow to at
least $500 million. I had a lot to consider, and a ton of work to do. This was
the most important time in my career and I couldn’t afford to fuck it up by
becoming a lovesick fool over some girl, exquisitely stunning or not.
I stopped in my tracks, maybe ten feet away, although I couldn’t
tear my eyes from her face. She was young. Maybe too young? But then she smiled
again. And not just any smile. This one wasn’t polite, or friendly, or casual
in any way. No, her smile was so bright it heated the drink in my hands and blinded
me from seeing anyone else in the room. Her curved lips were an invitation I
couldn’t resist. Even though I knew I should.
