Nicola Marsh - Stripped

She wasn’t into bad boys

Until she met him...

Getting naked with reclusive billionaire Hart Rochester isn’t part of Daisy Adler’s PR campaign. She’s on the stunning Whitsunday Islands to save his reputation, but after clashing with the infuriating, sexy CEO, a fling is the perfect way to burn off energy after-hours... As they strip each other bare, their desire only rages hotter—but can a man with such a tortured soul ever be the partner she needs beyond the bedroom?

NICOLA MARSHis a USA TODAY bestselling and multi-award-winning author who loves nothing better than losing herself in a story. A physiotherapist in a previous life, she now divides her time between raising two dashing heroes, whipping up delish meals, cheering on her footy team and writing—her dream job. And she chats on social media. A lot. Come say hi! Instagram, Twitter, Facebook—she’s there! Also find her at nicolamarsh.com.
