Publisher's summary

As the King family lawyer, I keep all of the family secrets. And as a woman in the high-powered world of million-dollar business, I have to stay cold and in control.

I’ve earned my way to the top, and I’ve never met a man who makes me weak - until Dylan King, the family’s exiled son, comes home.

He’s former Special Ops, the family rebel, a mystery, a myth: a man who seems like he can do anything - including becoming the heir to the King empire if he chooses. He’s also the only man whose touch can melt my ice. And he wants me.

But nothing is simple, and love doesn’t come without a price. When I offer Dylan a devil’s bargain - and he takes it - there’s no telling who will win. And if he discovers the secrets I’m keeping, I might lose everything - including the heart I’ve so carefully put on ice.

Very average

This story was just not hitting the mark at all. The main characters were just weird and not particularly likeable and we were never really clear why they got together, The heroine spends time saying what a fraud she is because she slept with her professor to get qualified, then she gets angry at people for accusing her of sleeping her way to the top. After the she then decides to keep the partners happy by selling her body and sex to the client so the firm gets looked after financially. The hero takes advantage of her dilemma and agrees to her money for sex deal.
Nothing romantic or appealing about any of it.

Short of expectations from Julie Kriss

Perhaps I didn't like this story because it was too short.
I didn't feel the chemistry between the two. I didn't care for the voice of Dylan as he sounded too old and not sexy at all.
The story was a bit weird... give up his entire inheritance of millions of a week with her... ummm ... NO THANK YOU! That's just bad decision. He just met her. Lost me right here.
I really wanted to give this book a chance so I listened to it to the end. And, I'm not too impressed with all that goes on. What was the point? Not for me.
