PRIDE & PASSIONJenna Bayley-Burke
contemporary romance
He’ll let her have control…until he’s ready to make his move.
The only things Lily Harris inherits after her father’s untimely death are debt, scandal and loneliness. She doesn’t protest when her father’s business partner, Jake Tolliver, steps up to help with the mess she finds herself in—until Jake reveals the last promise he made to her father.
Jake may be as compelling to look at as a marble statue—and stir a frighteningly powerful desire within her—but no way will Lily agree to be his socially acceptable bride while he continues to bed his string of beautiful women—not without getting him to agree to a deal of her own first.
With a well-earned reputation as a feral hunter who goes after what he wants, Jake has his sights set on Lily, and her lack of options puts her right where he’s wanted her from the first moment he laid eyes on her.
Jake’s not above making Lily think she’s having it her way if that’s what it’ll take to have his way in the end. But once he grows tired of playing beast to her beauty, he’s not above changing the rules of the game until they’re both playing for the same prize.
Warning : This title contains a hero used to getting what he wants, a heroine determined not to give in to him, some indecent proposals, a fair amount of pride, and enough passion to burn up everyone’s control.

I love the warning! If only there was unlimited time to read! But this is a must-read for me!
The plotline of Pride and Passion is an almost exact replica of an old Mills and Boons title called Intangible Dreams (released 1992) by Patricia Wilson. The only thing that's different are the names of the characters and the location setting.
Thanks Caren :) It's similar to Pride & Prejudice with the characters having misunderstood opinions of one another and Beauty & the Beast with the heroine being stuck in the house with the brooding hero!
Yep, a tried and true theme that most of us have either used or played with in our imaginations. Can't wait to read the book - it's out, yayyyy!
