Worth the Risk

Book excerpt: From international bestselling author Zara Cox, a sizzling story from her series The Mortimers. The last temptation of Gideon Mortimer Thirty days. No sex. What did I just do? I just signed an actual, bona fide chastity contract handed to me by the board of my own company. Turns out, my rather wicked—and well-earned—reputation with women has caught up with me. The directors want to make sure their billionaire playboy CEO’s sexcapades won’t compromise a multibillion-dollar deal—and they’ve taken my sex life prisoner. And I might have been able to survive…if it wasn’t for her. Leonora Branson was supposed to be a stern governess with ice running through her veins. Instead, she’s a 1950s pinup bombshell, her every curve an invitation of fist-biting perfection. Oh, what I could do with that pretty pink mouth. And the best part? We’re stuck on a yacht together in the sun-drenched Cote D’Azur for the next two weeks. Now I’m sex starved and out of my mind with hot, thick lust for the oh-so-prim-and-proper Leonora Branson. One touch could cost me everything—including my locked-down heart. But what Gideon Mortimer wants, Gideon Mortimer gets…no matter the risk.
