Once he takes his pound of flesh from her, will she steal his heart?
I’m Jett, self-made billionaire. I have everything I could ever want—except revenge. Eight years ago, my best friend and I planned to start a business together… Until I fell for his little sister. After he found out, he stole my idea and made a fortune. She took his side and stabbed me in the back. Now he’s in financial straits, while I’m richer than I ever dreamed. So I made Whitney a bargain: forty million dollars in exchange for a week of her body. But now that she’s in my bed, what if it's not animosity I feel? What if I fall for her again?SEDUCED BY THE ENEMY

“What’s your offer?” she demands.
“In a hurry? Why don’t we have a drink? I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
She scoffs. “Let’s not pretend I matter to you.”
I raise a brow at Whitney. She does matter…but admitting that would only weaken my position. “Humor me. After all, it’s my forty million dollars.”
“Fine.” She lifts one delicate shoulder like she doesn’t care, but I can read her. On some level, I get to her and she hates that. “Vodka cranberry. Make it a double.”
I acknowledge her with a curt nod, then I motion to the bartender, who takes our order.
“You’re not drinking with me?” She scowls.
“I never drink.” I haven’t since that summer.
Whitney’s gaze probes me for a long moment. “Because you’re a control freak?”
You have no idea.
I smile. “You can call me names and divert the subject all day. That doesn’t change why we’re here.”
“So you’re going to lend Vance forty million dollars to save his company—”
“Which should have been our company.”
“You lost that lawsuit.”
“Because your brother is a lying, thieving snake.” And you helped him, didn’t you?
She arches her dark brow at me. “Is all this charm how you’ve become so successful?”
Life has apparently roughed up my sweet princess and given her a stronger spine. I like it.
Breaking her will definitely be more fun.
“No. I’m successful because I’m ruthless.”
