About the book
Justine Montgomery, 21, desperately needed a loan, otherwise she and her mom would be out on the street. So she steeled herself to ask handsome millionaire banker Marcus Osborne, 35, for help.
Marcus had no illusions about the Justines of this world. He could tell just by looking at her that she was a gold digger, out to target a rich husband. Just like his ex-wife.... But Marcus was also glad when Justine told him she'd do anything if he'd lend her money, because he desired her--badly. He'd give her the finances she wanted, and she'd repay him in his bed!
