      Until he meets her!

With enemies working against them, how far will Cooper go for a love that money can’t buy?

       About the Publisher

       One

      “This isn’t a damn soap opera. It’s real life.” Cooper Hayes jammed both hands into his slacks pockets and shot a glare at the man opposite him. “How the hell did this happen? Secret heirs don’t just appear at the reading of a damn will.”

      “The only thing that appeared was her name,” Dave Carey reminded him.

      True, but hardly consolation. Cooper stared at the other man for a few long beats. Dave had been his best friend and confidant since college. He was always reasonable, logical and so damn cool-headed that it was irritating at times. Like now, for instance.

      “That’s enough, though, isn’t it? She exists. She has a name. And now,” Cooper added darkly, “apparently, half of my company. To top it all off, we know nothing about her.”

      Here in his office on the twentieth floor of the StarFire Hotel, Cooper could let his frustration show.
