A Bride for the Black Sheep Brother

A Bride for the Black Sheep Brother
Emily McKay

Courted by a CainCooper Larson doesn't care about finding Hollister Cain's long-lost daughter, even though a huge inheritance hangs in the balance. As Hollister's illegitimate son, the renegade snowboarder broke away and made his own millions long ago. So when his former sister-in-law Portia Callahan insists she's spotted the missing Cain heiress and solicits his aid, it isn't money that motivates him. It's his long-forbidden hunger for Portia. So he agrees to help if she'll collaborate on an event to finance his latest venture. With Portia finally within reach, he quickly melts the cool society princess's resistance…but will the barriers that kept him a black sheep before get the better of him now?

“I’m talking about us.”

There isn’t an us,” Portia retorted.

“So you keep insisting,” Cooper replied. “But I need you to understand something. All that nonsense about men not finding you attractive is just nonsense. You’re gorgeous.”

Portia smiled. “Thank you. But—”

“I’m not done.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“But I need you to understand something else. I’m not a nice guy. I’m not selfless. I’m not softhearted.”

She was confused by this train of thought. “Oookay.”

Well, if she’d been confused before, he was about to make things worse.

He closed the distance between them and pulled her to him. He didn’t give her a chance to protest verbally, but pressed his lips to hers. There was a moment of shock. But she didn’t resist.

Not even for a second.
