First Sight (Cover Girlfriend, Book Two)

[IN EDITS]

I would have sworn I don't have a possessive or jealous bone in my body, but something about this woman has my stomach tensing in sailors knots. She's trouble.

When little nobody Aliya Hawkins snagged eligible bachelor, multi-millionaire hotel entrepreneur Carlos Rickerts, everyone wondered if he'd lost his mind. Coming from ancient heritage and wealth, C.R. grew up on tabloids, manners, and Responsibilities - Capital R.
Then society got their first look at how his money cleaned up the gutter rat, and ate crow for what he must have seen from the start; a glittering diamond beneath the rough.
Now, years later, no one bats an eye at their lovers' spats and romantic exploits. Nor do they know the reality of their relationship. Is everything as Cupid and arrows as they portray, or is truth stranger than fiction?

I desire his approval; crave that whisper touch of his eyes, so full of lust and possession.
