Synopsis: Kenna Winston knows two things. Men and money. That's her game. But when she's offered a business contract, the game changes. Kenna has to decide if she is ready to up the ante or if the proposal being offered is crossing the line, even for her. And what happens if her heart gets involved?
Oh, that's right... she doesn't have one.Zackary Knight has always had things handed to him. That's not the life he wants. Can't anyone see that he is more than just a dollar sign? What about the beautiful woman who just showed up on his doorstep? Is she someone he can finally open his heart up to?
Because his heart... it's a big one.
Everything about this introduction was so awkward.
“Make yourself at home. Open some wine. I just need
a few more minutes to finish up and set an extra place,” Zack said before
disappearing into the kitchen area.
“What is this?” I hissed through my teeth at Tariq.
I needed some answers. I needed them now.
“Why did you bring me here?”
Tariq grabbed my elbow and led me into the corner,
out of sight. “Do you know who that is?” I shrugged, clueless. “That is Zackary
Knight, son of Corbin Knight.”
Wait? What? As in hotel billionaire, Corbin Knight?
Dollar signs briefly flashed before my eyes. Rows and rows of them. But I was
lost. “What does this have to do with me?”
“His father has been concerned lately that his son
is not getting out enough, meeting people, meeting women. He’s my boss. He asked if I could arrange to find his son a companion.”
“A companion?” I shrieked. “Like as in a—”
“Lower your voice,” Tariq demanded.
“Is this your favor?” I strained over my shoulder to
get another look at the guy in the next room.
“Think of it more as an opportunity. His father is
willing to pay the right person. Big
bucks.” Tariq placed his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eye.
“You’re unemployed. And I’m no fool, Kenna. I know that you did not leave
Backsides on your own. You need this, don’t you?”
I looked away and swallowed.
“It’s easy money,” Tariq said smoothly.
Money. That word always changed everything.
“Would I have to sleep with him?” I kept my voice
even.
Tariq shuffled his stance. “If that’s what he wants,
yes.”
So by companion, he meant prostitute. My insides
twisted.
“Does he know
about this?” I motioned my head toward the kitchen.
“No, and that’s part of the deal. Zack can never
find out. You just do what you do, flirt, be beautiful and follow my lead
tonight. We’ll discuss it more later.”
Not many things rattled me. This did. My hands
started to shake. Another pay-for-sex transaction in less than twenty-four
hours. Was this the way people saw me, the way I presented myself?
“Tariq, why did you call me for this?”
“Because this is what you do. This is your game. Men
and money.”
“My game?”
“Yes, Kenna, your
game.”
I closed my eyes. He was right. It was useless to
deny it. As far back as I could remember, men and money had indeed been my
game. If you considered all the things I’d done and received as “gifts” with
men over the years, then you needed to call me what I was.
A hooker.
