Maureen Child - Tempt Me In Vegas

This billionaire doesn’t play well with others...

Until he meets her!

Cooper Hayes won’t share his hotel empire, especially not with his business partner’s secret daughter—even if Terri Ferguson is the most beautiful woman in Vegas. He’s obsessed with sinful fantasies—and buying her out. But Terri refuses his offer...while she shares his bed. With enemies working against them, how far will Cooper go for a love that money can’t buy?

MAUREEN CHILDwrites for the Mills & Boon Desire line and can’t imagine a better job. A seven-time finalist for a prestigious Romance Writers of America RITA® Award, Maureen is the author of more than one hundred romance novels. Her books regularly appear on bestseller lists and have won several awards, including a Prism Award, a National Readers’ Choice Award, a Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence and a Golden Quill Award. She is a native Californian but has recently moved to the mountains of Utah.

About the Publisher

One

“This isn’t a damn soap opera. It’s real life.” Cooper Hayes jammed both hands into his slacks pockets and shot a glare at the man opposite him. “How the hell did this happen? Secret heirs don’t just appear at the reading of a damn will.”

“The only thing that appeared was her name,” Dave Carey reminded him.

True, but hardly consolation. Cooper stared at the other man for a few long beats. Dave had been his best friend and confidant since college. He was always reasonable, logical and so damn cool-headed that it was irritating at times. Like now, for instance.
