Hard Money (Dark Romance)

Publisher Marketing: Why is Mason Langley offering her money to sleep with him? Fiona would say yes to him even if he didn't pay her. All he has to do is kiss her, press her up against the wall, and she would be his. He's gorgeous and rich. He can have any girl just for the asking, and Fiona is nothing special. She's just a regular girl. What does he want from her that he has to pay for? She's afraid to find out the answer. Fiona is working hard trying to put herself through college. When her job puts her in danger, Mason is there to save her. But that isn't the end of it. Fiona needs money so she can finish two more years of college. Mason offers her a deal. Though she is inexperienced and unsure of herself, she agrees to earn that money the hard way. Mason wants an arrangement without intimacy. He isn't a nice guy. He can't trust. He can't love, so he pays for what he wants. Can Fiona handle that, or will it be too much for her body and for her heart? And what about Mason? He claims he only wants what he paid for, but deep down in his heart, he wants something more. He yearns for what he doesn't allow himself to believe in. Mason secretly longs for the one woman who can give him what he needs - her complete devotion and her whole heart.
