"There was only one way for Mikayla to clear her father's debt to powerful tycoon Rafael Velez-Aguilera: by offering herself in exchange! It was crazy; she knew that. Rafael had his pick of glamorous women, and Mikayla was a virgin...
Rafael was intrigued by Mikayla's proposal and immediately presented her with a contract specifying her duties as his mistress for a year! Top of the list was sharing his bed. What had Mikayla let herself in for?
Rafael was an intensely sensual man, and once he'd made love to Mikayla he might never let her go..."
Thanks to Vikki and her June TBR challenge I've been reading some great books this month as I attempt to meet my 15 TBR book commitment for June. Why they've been sitting there so long is anybody's guess.
I really enjoyed this one - Rafael was deliciously arrogant, but he was very attracted to Mikayla from the start and I felt he treated quite well while under "contract". Mikayla was very poised and I liked how she handled the jealous ex-girlfriends - very calmly, no smugness, a very "I-don't-care-you-can-have-him-back" attitude. I think that is what kept Rafael interested.
I recommend this one!

I remember reading this
I remember reading this years ago. Passionate read. I might look around and see if I still have it somewhere for a re-read. (I've read so many HPs, I'd like to start re-reading some of the ones I enjoyed years ago, because I know they won't disappoint)
