Bending to the Bachelor's Will
by Emilie Rose

One 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.

Emilie Rose's Bio

Bestselling author Emilie Rose lives in North Carolina with her college sweetheart husband and four sons.

Her love for romance novels developed when she was 12 years old and her mother hid them under sofa cushions each time Emilie entered the room.

Emilie grew up riding and showing American Saddlebred horses. She's a devoted baseball mom during the season and can usually be found in the bleachers watching either her sons or the Durham Bulls play.

Her hobbies include quilting, cooking (especially cheesecake), and anything cowboy. Her favorite TV shows include Discovery Channel's medical programs, ER and CSI. Emilie's a country music fan because there's an entire book in nearly every song.
