An Uneasy Alliance

The last thing small town mayor, Katherine James, wants is a call that her brother is behind bars. Not a good look. When she goes to see him, however, he swears that he’s innocent and is being framed by the brother of the woman he loves.

Set on doing whatever it takes to get her brother out of this horrific predicament withoutemploying her powers as mayor, Katherine finds herself agreeing to a bizarre deal with the cunning and wickedly handsome Terence Reilly: Be his live-in hostess for one month in exchange for dropping the charges against her brother.

Sounds easy enough, right?

But when a quiet, unassuming beauty falls under the command of an arrogant, hot-as-sin jerk, things are bound to get interesting. It’s not long before the searing attraction between the two becomes too consuming for them to not give in to their desires.

Weeks later, when the tables turn and Terence finds himself on the other end of the stick this time around, Katherine throws him the same deal that he’d thrown her.

During their last deal, things had gotten far too hot and heavy to contain.

This time, their blazing passion just might burn the house down.
