Bachelor Unforgiving

Special excerpt from BACHELOR UNFORGIVING, the next exciting installment in New York Times bestselling author   Brenda Jackson  s Bachelors in Demand series!

Four years ago Kara Goshay believed a vicious lie about Virgil Bougard and ended their relationship. And even after her apology, Virgil is still bitter. Now his family firm has hired Kara’s PR company to revamp his playboy image. But faking a liaison with Kara for the media backfires when the line between fantasy and reality is blurred by strong sexual attraction. The stakes are high—but so is their searing desire, a connection so intense it could possibly tame this elusive, unforgiving bachelor at last…

His eyes were so cold she felt the icy chill all the way to her bones. She took a deep breath and then said, “Hello, Virgil.”

He didn’t return her greeting, just continued to give her a cold stare. But she pushed on. “May I speak with you privately for a minute?”

“No. We have nothing to say to each other.”

Virgil’s tone was so hard Kara was tempted to turn and walk away. But she refused to do that. She would get him alone even if she had to provoke him into it. She lifted her chin, met his gaze and smiled ruefully. “I understand you not wanting to risk being alone with me, Virgil. Especially since you’ve never been able to control yourself where I’m concerned.”

The narrowing of Virgil’s eyes indicated she might have gone too far by bringing up their past relationship and reminding him of how taken he’d once been with her.

He continued to stare at her for the longest time. Silence surrounded the group and she figured Virgil was well aware the two of them had not only drawn the attention of his god brothers but a few others in the room who’d known they’d once been a hot item.

Finally Virgil slowly nodded. “You want to talk privately, Kara?” he asked in a clipped voice that was shrouded with a daring tone, one that warned she might regret the request. “Then by all means, lead the way.”
