Sinful Proposition

She was everything I could never have... and the one woman I couldn't walk away from. I had spent my entire life fighting for everything I had. Nothing had ever been handed to me. I clawed my way out of a past filled with abandonment, heartbreak, and hard lessons, determined to build a life no one could ever take away. Work was the one thing I trusted, and I never mixed business with pleasure. Then Tempest Wilder hired me to help her create her newest venture, a boutique hotel with seductively themed rooms. She was beautiful, ambitious, and completely out of my league. As the daughter of one of the most powerful families in the city, she lived in a world I didn't belong in. But the more time we spent together bringing her dream to life, the harder it became to ignore the chemistry simmering between us... or the way she made me want things I'd long ago convinced myself I didn't deserve. Loving Tempest meant risking far more than my heart. I had to decide whether to keep believing the lies my past had taught me... or take a chance on the only woman who had ever made me believe that even a man like me was worthy of his own happily ever after.
