She's pretty sure he's only pushing her buttons, but can she take the chance that he's actually out to destroy her instead? Her business is at stakeShe has to persuade him to part with a fortune, because if the museum doesn't thrive, her public relations firm will suffer the loss of a most important client-injuring not only Susannah but her two partners. But even with the success of Tryad Public Relations at stake, can Susannah take the risk and agree to Marc's offer of a short-term affair? Because heaven forbid that Susannah wants forever with the sexy playboy. The Tryad Public Relations trilogy:Book 1: The Billionaire DateBook 2: The Playboy AssignmentBook 3: The Husband Project
