PAYING HIS PRICE
Contemporary romance - 22,000 words
Journalist Christina Miller is determined to scoop the first ever interview with Lucas Frost, a reclusive scientist who has invented a gadget worth millions. On her way to his isolated lakeside house, Christina’s car breaks down, and she is forced to shelter the night in an ancient boat. In the morning she finds herself hijacked by a surly fisherman who refuses to take her ashore until he has finished his trip.
Desperate to get her interview, Christina strikes a daring bargain: if he takes her back in the morning, she’ll sleep with him. No names, no personal details, just two strangers sharing pleasure in the night. She fails to allow for the impossible – that by morning she’ll have fallen in love with him.
Ashamed by her impulsiveness, Christina departs to get her car fixed. She has missed the chance of an exclusive interview with Lucas Frost, but at least she can still make the press conference at his house. When she arrives, she finds the man she has just spent the night with sitting behind a podium, facing a bank of microphones - Lucas Frost.
And he has no intention of letting her forget.
