Claimed Gem by Amanda Horton

She will be mine.

Not just for the weekend, but forever.

I have it all. Or that’s how it looks from the outside. Money, fame, women. As the playboy of the family business, I get paid to party. But I’ve given up on love. Women want me, sure. But they only want my money. My family name. A place in the family inheritance.

Not Stephanie. Stephanie’s different. She’s brainy. She’s kind. She’s hot. And she doesn’t seem to care what I think of her. God knows how a woman like this wound up working as a waitress in a shady resort town filled with smugglers. Her thirst for justice could get her killed in a town like this. She’s meant for so much more. And, unlike every other woman in this city, she’s not tripping all over herself to sleep with me.

I’m going to find a way to change that. I will protect her. She will be mine.
