Passionate payback
They say you can forgive but you can never forget. Virgil Bougard takes that saying to heart. Four years ago Kara Goshay believed a vicious lie about him and ended their relationship. And even after her apology, Virgil is still bitter. He doesnât intend to make things easy for Kara when his familyâs firm hires her PR company to revamp his playboy image. But faking a liaison with Kara for the media backfires when the line between fantasy and reality is blurred by strong sexual attraction.
Kara wanted forgiveness. Instead sheâs deep into a heated affair with the powerful, charismatic man she canât resist. The man who claims heâll never forgive her, especially when a secret enemy puts her professional reputation in jeopardy. Stakes are highâbut so is their searing desire, a connection so intense it could possibly tame this elusive, unforgiving bachelor at last...
âNow weâre giving them something to look at,â he said in a deep, husky voice that sent shivers down her spine.
âAre we?â
A smile touched the corners of his lips. âIf you donât believe me, just watch.â And he then leaned and kissed their joined hands.
Kara couldnât stop the tremble that immediately coursed through her. She licked her lips when a familiar sensation stirred in the lower part of her body. âDo you think this is necessary?â she asked, letting out a slow, controlled breath.
âDonât you?â he asked softly. âTell me what you think, since you came up with the action plan. Was this not what you had in mind for the woman I was to date exclusively? Were we not supposed to give people the impression that weâre all into each other?â
âYes, but I wasnât supposed to be that woman, Virgil.â
âBut unfortunately, Kara, you are now that woman. Now lean toward me a bit. Donât ask why, just do it.â
Drawing in a deep breath, and with their hands interlinked and heat spreading up her thighs, she leaned in closer.
Iâm so glad to bring another Bachelors in Demand novel to you. Weâve already seen four bachelors happily married off, and now there are only two remaining.
I guess you can say that I saved the best two for last...
Bachelor Unforgivingâs hero is Virgil Bougard. There is nothing worse than an affair that goes bad. Especially when a trust factor is involved, it could make things even worse. Kara Goshay finds out the hard way that when it comes to making a mistake, some men can be unforgiving...like Virgil. However, Kara is convinced that love can hide a multitude of faults, and one should be forgiven for their mistakes. The problem is trying to convince Virgil of that.
I hope all of you enjoy reading Virgil and Karaâs story.
Happy Reading!

Kara Goshay knew she couldnât put it off any longer. After all, the main reason sheâd attended tonightâs event was to seek out Virgil Bougard. She owed him an apology and she intended to give it to him. Nothing would stop her. Not even the cold, hard glares heâd given her all evening.
She had no illusions about not being one of his favorite people. Four years ago while they had been in an exclusive affair she had accused him of doing something she now knew he hadnât done. She was woman enough to admit when sheâd made a mistake, and in this case, she had made a big one.
She drew in a deep breath as she watched him. He was standing in a group, talking to five other men. She knew them. They were his godbrothers. Virgil had told her the story of how, close to forty years ago, six guys had become best friends while attending Morehouse and on graduation day had made a pact to stay in touch by becoming godfathers to each otherâs children, and that the firstborn sonsâ names would start with the letters U through Z. And that was how Uriel Lassiter, Virgil Bougard, Winston Coltrane, Xavier Kane, York Ellis and Zion Blackstone had come to have their names.
She eyed the group of men. All six were extremely handsome, but there was something about Virgil that had captured her from the first moment they had met. Heâd walked into the room at a charity event, much like this one, looking as if heâd strolled right off the cover of GQ. She was convinced every woman at the black-tie affair that night had done a double take and concluded that no man could be that gorgeous.
