Cathy Williams - Bought To Wear The Billionaire's Ring

Their six-week betrothal bargain

Samantha Wilson never forgot the sting of Leo Morgan-White’s youthful rejection, but now the brooding billionaire is offering a solution to her mother’s debts that she can’t refuse.

Leo’s deal was simple. Samantha would pose as his fiancée to help secure custody of his late stepbrother’s daughter. But Samantha’s purity is a breath of fresh air in Leo’s cynical world, and the temptation to satisfy his lust for her becomes irresistible.

As the end of their agreement approaches, Sam’s ability to resist their potent attraction is buckling under the weight of wearing Leo’s ring and the heat of his expert touch...

‘I’m going to give you twenty-four hours to think about my proposition. I’ll leave the engagement ring here. Try not to misplace it.’

‘I may not agree to anything.’

‘Your call.’ Leo shrugged. ‘I anticipate six weeks of inconvenience. Think about the trade-off.’ He stood up and glanced at his watch to find that far more time had gone by than he’d expected. ‘Just one more thing to consider...’

Sammy had scrambled to her feet, but she was still keeping her distance. She wasn’t going to touch this offer with a bargepole. Was she...? It smacked of blackmail, and surely any form of deceit, however well intended, was a bad thing...

‘What’s that?’ She eyed him warily.

‘You asked why you’re perfect for this...arrangement.’ He kept his eyes fixed on her face as he began putting on his coat. ‘You understand the rules. I don’t mean the rules that involve pretending...I mean the rules that dictate that this isn’t for real. You’re not one of my women who might get it into their heads that a fake engagement will turn into a real engagement.’

‘No. I’m not.’ Because there was no way he would ever consider getting engaged for real to someone like her. She’d never wanted to slap someone as much as she wanted to slap him.

‘So we’re on the same page,’ Leo drawled, tilting his head at her. ‘Always a good thing. I’ll be in touch tomorrow evening for your decision...my wife-to-be.’

CATHY WILLIAMS can remember reading Mills & Boon books as a teenager, and now that she is writing them she remains an avid fan. For her, there is nothing like creating romantic stories and engaging plots, and each and every book is a new adventure. Cathy lives in London, and her three daughters—Charlotte, Olivia and Emma—have always been, and continue to be, the greatest inspirations in her life.

CHAPTER ONE

‘SO...’ LEO MORGAN-WHITE handed his father a glass of claret and sat down opposite him.

Harold had travelled all the way from Devon and had been delivered only half an hour previously by his chauffeur. It had been a surprise visit, which he had been told by his agitated father the evening before couldn’t wait.
