The Billionaire's Ruthless Affair. Miranda Lee

      

       ‘You know full well I would never want to have an affair with you. You’re my boss!’

      ‘You didn’t mind my kissing you just now,’ Alex reminded Harriet with brutal honesty. ‘But all that is beside the point. I saw the folly of my ways in time and changed my mind about trying to “seduce” you, since you seem to like that word. Perhaps because it stops you from taking any responsibility over what just happened.’

      ‘You kissed me, Alex. I didn’t do a thing!’

      ‘Nothing except look so deliciously sexy this morning that I haven’t been able to think of anything else but making love to you all day.’

      An already flustered Harriet honed in on his patently false wording. ‘You don’t want to make love to me at all,’ she snapped. ‘You want to have sex with me. That’s a totally different scenario.’

      ‘True,’ he said, before walking slowly back towards her. ‘But nothing changes the fact that we can’t go back to the way it was between us, Harry. You want me as much as I want you—don’t deny it,’ he said, close enough now to reach out and place his large hands on her suddenly trembling shoulders.

      Harriet somehow found her voice. ‘That doesn’t mean I have to do anything about it.’

      ‘True again. But why deny yourself something which can give you pleasure? And I can give you pleasure, Harry,’ he murmured, lifting his right hand off her shoulder to trace circles around her gasping lips. ‘Lots of pleasure.’

      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!

       CHAPTER ONE

      I SHOULD BE HAPPIER, Alex thought as he picked up his mug of coffee and carried it out onto the terrace of his penthouse apartment, shivering slightly when the crisp air hit his face. Not that it would be cold for long, the sun already peeping over the horizon. Winter in Sydney was a picnic compared to winter in London. He was glad to be back home. But not all that happy, for some reason.

      Alex surveyed the panoramic view of the city skyline, telling himself that a man would have to be a fool not to be happy when he’d finally achieved everything he’d ever vowed to achieve.

      At thirty-four, Alex was no fool. He was, in fact, a very successful businessman.

      A Rhodes scholar, Alex had first become an entrepreneur back in England over a decade earlier, going into partnership with his two best friends from Oxford in a dilapidated old wine bar, which probably should have been demolished, but which
