Temporary

The most beautiful man I've ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything.

The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he ll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, he s just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants.

And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle s estate.

I can t afford either one. I m the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful -- pure desperation. This temp job at his mother s company can become a full time job for me. It has to.

But when Callan s eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person I ve become.

And it works--if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can't afford to get sucked into his high-powered family s treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I can t forget this is temporary. He s temporary. I have too much to lose.

Too bad my foolish heart didn t get the memo...
