About this ebook
What she found was a man worth breaking the rules for.
He’s got more money than God.
More secrets than anyone knows.
And no intention of falling in love.
After a career-shattering misstep, UK journalist Daphne Clarke has one chance to restore her reputation: a no-holds-barred feature on elusive tech billionaire Greyson Thorne. His company’s stock is slipping. His board is panicking. And a PR profile crafted in the Highlands, away from flashing cameras, is their idea of image rehab.
But when Daphne arrives at the castle estate in Kilbrae, Scotland, she doesn’t find a media-trained CEO ready for redemption. She finds a reclusive, infuriatingly attractive Highland exile … who wants nothing to do with her.
Greyson agreed to the interview on paper. In person, he’s all cold shoulders, slow-burning glances, and rules about what she can’t ask.
Until he let's something slip..
Until the questions get personal.
Until the fire in the hearth starts matching the heat between them.
She’s chasing the truth.
He’s hiding from it.
But one weekend might change everything … if they’re willing to risk the story for something real.
Warning: This story may make you feel shock, anger, passion, sadness and compassion. Have stress ball and tissues handy.
