His million-dollar bride...
Ben Carterâs reputation has been savaged by a shocking press exposé and thereâs only one way to save both it and his latest business venture: with a gold ring. In Julianna Fordâdaughter of his European rivalâBenâs found the perfect candidate...until she says no.
No one refuses Ben Carter, not least of all this beautiful and beguiling English society princess. So when Julianna auctions one kiss for charity, Ben seizes the chance to win his heiress. He might have paid one million dollars for a kiss, but Ben intends to have so much more!
Julianna wore an elaborate black lace mask over the top half of her face and it only enhanced her beauty, making her look mysterious. But even the mask couldnât hide the brilliant blue of her eyes. Or that enticing mouth.
Mine. The word thrummed through Benâs blood, just as a voice near the front shouted out, âFive thousand dollars!â
Something went tight inside Ben as the bidding started to escalate. Ten thousand...fifteen...twenty. There were gasps now, people looking around. And then a booming voice called out, âFifty thousand dollars!â
The auctioneer held his gavel up and asked if anyone wanted to contest this latest bid. No one moved. The thought of that man getting anywhere near Julianna made Ben feel a level of violence he hadnât experienced in a long time.
The auctioneer brought the gavel down once, twice...
just before he could bring it down again Ben spoke authoritatively into the silence. âOne million dollars.â
Everyone gasped and turned to look at him. He walked forward, the crowd parting to let him through.
When he was near the dais, he stopped and said, âBut I want more than a kiss. For a million dollars I want a weekend with Julianna Ford.â

PROLOGUE
BENJAMIN CARTER SAT in a high-backed leather chair in a corner of the private members-only club. The lighting was artfully dim, and the atmosphere was hushed and exclusive. Warm golden lights and flickering candles added to the sense of rarefied privacy. Cigar smoke curled into the air from another dark corner, adding an exotic aroma and diffusing the light.
The club promised absolute discretion, which was specifically why heâd chosen it. And now Ben looked, one by one, at each of the other three men who had joined him at his table. At his request.
