‘Please,’ she said. ‘I understand why you are suspicious but you don’t need to be. I promise. Give me a chance to prove it to you. Hear me out. Please.’
‘Fine,’ he said. ‘You’ve got ten seconds.’

Another “billionaire bagger” caught climbing through the restroom window!
Except Olivia Evans has no interest in billionaires—even those as delicious as Adam Masterson. She just wants to track down Adam’s father…and if crashing a superswanky party is the way to do it, so be it!
Only, she’s caught red-handed by Adam himself! And now that Adam has become the subject of a “billionaire hunt” he has a proposition for Olivia. He’ll help Olivia in her quest—but only if she poses as his adoring girlfriend for the paps. It’s a deal she can’t refuse…even if it does come with a luxury trip to Thailand and a whole heap of trouble!

How to Bag a Billionaire
“Let’s make sure everyone believes that we are on a date, okay? And try to look happy about it. A lot of women would pay to be in your shoes.”
“I’m not a lot of women.”
He’d gathered that. “Then you’ll have to fake it. Let’s go.”
“Give me five minutes. I need makeup. And shoes, for that matter.” She leaned down to pull out a silver clutch bag and a pair of shoes. Long, elegant feet slipped into lime-green high-heeled wedge sandals and his pulse kicked up a notch.
Enough. Straightening up, she pivoted to face the mirror, leaving him with an alluring view of her bare back, the black dress tapering down in a V to the voluptuous curve of her bottom.
Adam forced himself to turn away.
“I’m ready.”
He swiveled around and a whoosh of air was expelled from his lungs as desire upped another notch. In a few minutes she’d been transformed from au naturel beauty to glamorous allure.
Her hazel eyes shimmered and her lips were outlined in glossy dark red. Lips he wanted to claim right here. Right now. Oh, hell. He was screwed; no way was his libido leaving this party.
Dear Reader,
This book is incredibly special to me—partly because it is my debut book for Harlequin®, but also because I am so excited that Olivia and Adam, who lived inside my head for a long time, have made it into the big wide world.
The first chapter of this book wrote itself—I knew that nothing would stop Olivia from getting to Adam once she had him in her sights. I also knew that Adam would put up the fight of his life to avoid being bagged.
But there the book stopped. Until one day not so long ago when Olivia and Adam demanded I get them out of the ladies’ restroom and let them try to sort out what happened next…
So I did!
I hope you enjoy reading about the trials and tribulations that beset them on their sometimes rocky path to love.
