The Favor: A Marriage of Convenience Romance

Product Information

Of course, if I’d ever showed him attitude in the presence of others, he’d have probably fired me on the spot. Two black leather sofas framed the table, and I could attest that both were delightfully comfortable. He hummed with whispers of temptation-the temptation to sin and surrender, to let him brand and possess you. Wright plans to draw out the saga in future editions of the series, which will start arriving in eBook format in the coming months. And he goes well I had to bring you someplace different so everyone would know you're not just a companion for the evening.

And if you reject a guy, it can’t possibly mean you simply don’t like him—no, it means you’re stuck up or a frigid bitch or something. I did not realize just how many things there were to consider, but I am too grateful for the way things are turning out for any of it to bother me. A big, badass jungle cat who wondered what an insignificant little thing like you was doing in its domain. More, he wanted to ensure that we didn’t wait until late in our lives before we found someone to share that life with.And thank you for putting so much content into one book, you easily could have broken that book into several, you really take the readers for a long ride which is appreciated. But I didn’t like being reminded of that time; of how small he’d made me feel when he’d not only dumped me but dropped me from his life like I was a bag of crack. Remembering to play my part, I made sure my smile was just a little on the flirtatious side as I replied, “Thank you. Because when you looked beyond the surface of a bully, you saw them for what they were—a goddamn twisted coward who needed to slap down others just to feel good, and that was plain pathetic.

Each time Vienna touched him or spoke against his ear, it took a sincere effort not to grind his teeth or tighten his grip on her—something he didn’t always manage to fight, just as he wasn’t always successful at not staring at that lower lip he longed to bite. Plenty came and went over the years I was in foster care, but none stuck around long enough for me to form a real bond with them. There’s no way you’d stay celibate for the duration of a fake marriage—and trust me, you’d be expected to be celibate if I was playing wifey, because I won’t be known as the poor woman being cheated on left, right, and center by a husband she ‘loves. She’d knocked me around, forced dog food in my mouth, bit me hard enough to mark, and pulled a knife on me several times. Plus, they communicated, even when things looked dire and/or caused them to question their devotion.He was always in alert around Vienna and picked every changes and shifts in her moods, everything he did for her or said, every time he putted her before everyone (gah I was giggling and kicking my feet every damn time it happened ) 🥺 and their chemistry o. I always fear reading a romance book where the male is cold, ruthless and controlling, because many authors changes the male throughout the book once he starts to fall in love. even after they slept together for the first time, he was still cold and ignored her most of the time.

And it wasn’t my stuff, so I wasn’t in a position to say what the best way would be to deal with the situation, was I?Something about the resilience of both characters and having to deal with in-laws connected the two in my head while reading. It was the entire package—his powerful personality, innate aura of authority, unshakable self-assuredness, and the untamed air about him that spoke of danger. And if I didn’t state now that I was taken and he later heard I was dating Dane, it would seem weird to Owen that I didn’t mention it. But when Dane met with people from outside the company, like other CEOs, stakeholders, or potential clients, I left the discussion and negotiations to them. Dane stared at her for a long moment, her words ringing through his system, resonating with him in a way that shifted something inside him.

Even if Dane had been prepared to dismiss the matter, he couldn’t have kept me as his PA—I’d have lost the respect of everyone at the company. But then, there had never been anything easy about pretending away the tension that existed between them.Powerful, brilliant, and ambitious, Dominic Davenport clawed his way up from nothing to become the King of Wall Street. It was clean and tidy but, unlike his, far from sparse with a computer, printer, landline, stationery, and the fake cactus that my foster mother gave me. He gave me a shy wave, knowing better than to give me any affection in front of his mother—Heather didn’t like it.
