Conquering King’s Heartby Maureen Child

“It’s you.”

She staggered a little. “What?”

“You. On the beach. Three years ago.”

She blinked up at him, rubbed her fingertips across her mouth and then drew in a long, shaky breath.

“Congratulations,” she said at last. “Finally you remembered.”

“You knew?” he demanded, bracing his legs wide apart as he folded his arms over his chest. “You remembered and didn’t say anything to me?”

“Why would I?” she asked, gathering up the fabric she’d dropped when he was kissing her. “You think I’m proud of that night?”

“You ought to be,” he told her sharply, “we were great together.”

“We were strangers. It was a huge mistake.”

“I want to make you an offer,” Chase said.

Laurel stepped out of his embrace. Trying to gather her wits, she picked up her champagne flute to take a sip, thinking he was taking unfair advantage by kissing her senseless before talking business. “Go ahead,” she said.

“You want to sell your hotel,” he stated.

“Yes, you know that. That’s what this is all about.”

“That’s part of what this is about,” he replied. “It’s what you want.”

“All right, Chase,” she said warily. “What do you want?”

He took her glass from her hand, setting it on the mantel beside his and holding her hand in his. “I want you, Laurel. I want you so much that I’ll buy your hotel for your full asking price, plus half a million dollars – if you’ll be my mistress for a month.”
