His Desires (Blackmailed by the Billionaire)

Texas Cattleman's Club: Blackmail

But Alexandra shook her head. Philip was too young to play, but he still loved watching his big brother pound away at the white blocks. Her body had changed with each baby delivery, her curves fuller, her hips womanly and sexy, each stretch mark a testament to her role as mother to their children.

Knowing what his smoldering gaze meant, she blew him a kiss before picking up her own towel to pat water away from damp skin. When she was done she took their oldest son from Dimitri and dried Theo off. Dimitri grabbed the diaper bag from beside one of the loungers, sat down with his son and proceeded to change Philip out of his swim diaper into a regular one, as well as some shorts and a T-shirt.

Neither of you are showing sense getting his clothes all wet. She just shook her head again before giving him a searching look. Phoebe and Alexandra were now as close as, or even closer than, Spiros and Dimitri. Phoebe had been hurt, too. And Dimitri understood the need to protect the woman he loved.

It was no wonder that his brother and sister-in-law kept their visits back to Greece to a minimum. The children had run ahead into the big villa that had housed his family for more than three generations, Phoebe and Dimitri following at a slower pace, so the young ears missed the French curse word his lovely wife uttered. How much he hurt you? Philip is just fifteen months old. Dimitri found great joy in being a father, thought his wife made the most estimable of mothers, and thought both of his sons would no doubt adore having another sibling.

Theo was a natural big brother, nurturing, teasing, kind and keen to help his little brother learn. Philip was social and fascinated by other babies. It was really very sweet. I love the idea of having another baby with you. Alexandra laughed, the sound rich and warm, going straight to his libido, despite knowing they could do nothing about it for hours and hours yet. I adore your brother. And later that night, after the children were in bed, they skipped dinner with his grandfather to make love…and maybe make a baby. Phoebe rushed to answer the door before the bell pealed again.

Before he could answer, the door opened behind her brother and Spiros stepped inside their Parisian penthouse. You were protecting yourself, from both Spiros and Dad. I read the other one too, the one that outlined just how much money Spiros would give our company in exchange for you becoming his wife. I love her now.

Her younger brother, now the head of Leonides Shipping, focused on Phoebe. Right out of university?

There was no way of saving the company without a huge infusion of capital. I remember the long hours you worked back then. To protect our company.

Of all her family members, Chrysanthos was the only one she was still close to, the only one she cared what he thought of her and her life. Been there for her—as a little brother, but been there all the same. Spiros sat down beside her, his expression more appropriate for a hostile boardroom than their living room. Phoebe shrugged, her arm rubbing against Spiros, finding comfort in even that small contact. I see my beloved wife as a brood mare? She was not having our child until she was ready, and if that time never came, then it never came.

Her brother sighed and then smiled at them both. Chrysanthos fisted his hands.

She turned so she could look up at him, holding his hand tightly against where their baby grew inside of her. You are doing fine speaking for yourself. You know I loved you, but marrying because of the money, to save my family, being pressured into marrying Dimitri by everyone, not knowing how you felt…it hurt me.

Spiros gave her brother a sulfuric glare.

He had too many things going on with Leonides Shipping to take any extra time away from the company. She was still thinking about it when she got home from work. He had, leaving the office a couple of hours before he usually did, so she was surprised to find the apartment empty when she got there a few hours later. Only a gorgeous dress by one of her favorite designers was on the bed, along with a note. The note told her to be dressed and ready to go out—she looked down at her watch—in thirty minutes.

Phoebe was sure her husband had intended her to have more time to get ready. What happened was that her perfect, romantic, loving husband dated her. At least once a week until their baby was born, Spiros courted her with dinners, live theater, trunk shows they lived in the fashion capital of the world, after all , concerts, date-night movies, and gifts. Lots and lots of little and big gifts that showed just how well he knew her, how much he thought about her. And the night she delivered their baby, a beautiful little girl they named Clea which meant gift of God, because she was their gift, timed to their life and their love , that happiness bubble was complete.

Both Philip and Alexandar are lucky to have him. Dimitri cleared his throat, wiping surreptitiously at his eyes. Alexandra knew how healing these words her brother-in-law was speaking were to her husband. Though Spiros had long ago forgiven Dimitri for almost marrying the woman he loved and being less than honest about his own relationship with Alexandra and what she meant to him, her husband had always harbored a sense of guilt where his brother was concerned. Spiros got up from the bed and came to hug Dimitri, his own tears running unchecked down his cheeks. Alexandra knew Spiros meant his words sincerely.

After all, he and Phoebe had packed up their apartment in Paris and moved back to Greece near the end of the pregnancy, so their daughter could be raised near Dimitri, Alexandra and their children. At eighty, he was still going strong. They were two incredibly blessed women to have married the men they did. The Petronides brothers were the best Greece had to offer, and she knew Phoebe agreed with that sentiment.

You are getting better and better at staying under the water. Theo looked up, to make sure Dimitri had been watching.

Share your thoughts with other customers. Write a product review. Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Let me clarify that as a romance reader, like all readers, have my favorites. I am always on the outlook for new authors to add to my favorite list. Tara Sparks will not be one of them. In fact, the biggest regret that I have is I purchased three books written by Ms. Sparks which I will grade as a horrible waste of money.

Sparks book, His Desires,only 40 pages with the intent of giving myself a break as I was reading a wonderful series by an author I love.

  • Vigilia di Natale a Swamp’s End (Italian Edition).
  • Lesson Plan A Grain of Wheat by Ngugi wa Thiongo!
  • Blackmailed Into Bed.
  • Terre sans maître (Littérature Française) (French Edition).
  • Blackmailed by His Rival by Adriana Rossi.

When you have a gifted writer 40 pages can be a treasure that delights and fires the readers imagination and emotions. This story was tiresome and boring. Sparks talent made that happen. With endless "she promises to do whatever it takes to succeed". Now that may sound sexy, right, well it gets tacky after Ricci, the h, says it to her Billionaire boss over and over again.

Books like Blackmailing the Billionaire (Billionaire Bachelors, #5)

Bottom line is don't buy this book and proceed with caution in the purchase of other books by this author. If I had one wish it would be to return it for a full refund.
