Excerpt:
Chapter - 1
Orphaned and destitute at the age of sixteen, desperate
to scratch a living, Kat had made some bad decisions. She’d narrowly avoided a
criminal record, and although that was luck of a sort, nothing could fill the
yawning chasm that had opened in her life when her parents died. Love,
security, and even her future had vanished. She’d imagined her father’s
business would be hers, but at the stroke of a clerk’s pen, it was taken away.
Now, nearly twenty-five and ready to follow her ambitions, she wanted it back.
Ross
could give her the means. He was prosperous enough to pay lawyers to wrest the
factory from its current owners. That wouldn’t happen without a fight, probably
an expensive battle through the Bazaki courts, but she was sure Ross’ pockets
were deep enough.
She’d
made an effort for him tonight. There was champagne in the fridge and candles flickered
in the master bedroom. Kat wore nothing but a wispy negligée. The eau-de-nil
silk clung to her curves and highlighted her jade-green eyes. “Because you’re
worth it, Ross,” she whispered to herself.
That
wasn’t the whole truth. Yes, Ross was rich, handsome and fit. His penthouse
flat in Fitzrovia was perfect, set in a quiet residential street a stone’s
throw from London’s busiest shops and bars. His generosity was lavish: flowers,
designer dresses, holidays, and now the huge diamond ring that sparkled on her
finger. Yet Kat didn’t want to be a trophy wife. She craved independence and
success in her own right, and knew she was capable of running a vodka business.
That was only going to happen with Ross’ help, though. Did he care about her
dreams? She was about to find out.
