the long version

FOR SALE: BACHELOR #23One unbelievably desirable banker. Kisses could melt the U.S. mint. Short-term loans only.Former debutante Holly Prescott had shunned her wealth and its trappings for a simpler life. But a foolhardy promise to “buy a bachelor” at a charity auction led her to an unexpected man: successful banker Eric Alden.Eric refused to submit to the highest bidder. Instead, he targeted Holly -- a woman he could trust -- to be his date. The transaction would be simple…no strings attached. Yet the attraction between them was too magnetic to ignore…and too explosive to continue.
