The Playboy's Ruthless Pursuit

The Playboy's Ruthless Pursuit
Miranda Lee

His most challenging conquestWhen you’re as handsome, dynamic and wealthy as British tycoon Jeremy Barker-Whittle, there’s no shortage of stunning women willing to share your bed. So when Alice Waterhouse says no, it’s a challenge the jaded playboy can’t refuse.But discovering Alice’s carefully guarded innocence puts paid to Jeremy’s thoughts of briefly stolen passion. The cynical CEO must put aside this delicate beauty… until Alice shocks by asking him to take her virginity!As Jeremy toys with the temptation to be the first man to show Alice pleasure, he’s unaware that she could be the first woman to tame him…

‘What are you afraid of, Alice?’ Jeremy asked, frowning as his eyes searched hers.

‘Maybe I’m afraid of myself,’ she replied.

‘You think too much. Time to just feel, Alice, and to have fun.’

‘Fun?’ she echoed. When had she ever had fun with a man?

He smiled. ‘Clearly fun is a concept you’re unfamiliar with. Let me teach you, Alice. I’m an expert at the art of fun.’

‘I don’t doubt it.’

‘You’re going to come to dinner with me tomorrow night, aren’t you?’

‘Yes,’ she said, sick of arguing with herself over this.

‘Good. I’ll ring you tomorrow and we’ll make definite plans.’

With that, he turned and left her, flushed and frustrated, on the doorstep. She watched him walk away and get into the back of his car without a backward glance.

A shaken Alice let herself in the front door. She walked slowly along the hall and into her bedroom, where she climbed into bed and lay awake for hours, thinking about Jeremy, and tomorrow night, and fun.

By ‘fun’ he obviously meant sex.

Even whilst she wanted to, the idea of actually doing it at long last was overwhelmingly nerve-racking. How would he react when he found out she was a virgin?

Billionaires secure their brides!

International tycoons Sergio, Alex and Jeremy were best friends at college. Bonded by their shared passion for business—and bedding beautiful women!—they formed The Bachelors’ Club, which had only two goals:

1 Live life to the full.

2 Become billionaires in their own right!

But now, with the dotted line signed for the sale of their multibillion-dollar wine empire, there’s one final thing left for each of the bachelors to accomplish: securing a bride!

The trilogy begins with Sergio’s story in

The Italian's Ruthless Seduction

Continues with Alex’s story in

The Billionaire’s Ruthless Affair

And concludes with Jeremy’s story in
