Deep-seated Passion — Tierney O'Malley

Aaron Hawke is a successful engineer, an overachiever, a fiercely independent and cautious man. After eight years of being away, he comes home only to learn that his ex-fiancée, who stabbed his heart and left love's bitter taste in his mouth, is living and working in his grandfather's mansion. Aaron quickly decides she must leave. However, his grandfather's will has made things complicated -- Bronwyn can only leave when she has paid her debt.

Bronwyn Flaherty, a down-to-earth, honest and faithful chatelaine is utterly broke and miserable. Aaron wants her to pay her debt or start packing. With her hands tied behind her back, she comes up with a solution -- sex.

Bronwyn's bold offer shocks Aaron, but he accepts it. He will use her whenever he gets a chance. Payback time. But two weeks into their agreed one month contract, he's become entangled in his own seductive game.
