The Mastermind (The Highland Society, #1)

He was my salvation. My dark lover. And my downfall. Zoey Mills is in trouble. Betrayed and recently unemployed, she finds herself stranded in the Scottish Highlands. Desperate for shelter, she waltzes bold as brass into another‘s home. Only Mullardoch Manor is unlike any home she has ever known, just like its enigmatic, sinful owner, who offers her shelter from a terrible storm. Billionaire playboy Declan McDougal is not a good man, no matter how his unexpected guest looks at him. As the head of the criminal organization, the Highland Society, he has grabbed life by the balls and taken what he wants, when he wants it. And he intends to have the little American lass who landed on his doorstep like a bedraggled kitten and stirs his feverish desires. He will stop at nothing until he has her, and owns her, body and soul. Zoey is shocked when Declan offers her a chance to stay in his gorgeous home and spend her week in Scotland gracing his bed. No strings attached, just a week of untold pleasure. Zoey knows she shouldn‘t agree. Good girls didn‘t sleep with men they just met. But she is drawn to his wicked touch and lets him drag her into the most sensually charged week of her life. With every heady caress, she falls further under his magnetic spell, yet Declan is not who he seems. And when his secrets are revealed, will she trust him with her heart or walk away forever?
