Washington, DC area – Present Day

As the youngest son in the rich and powerful Jameson family, Carter would rather have nothing to do with his conniving father. But because the old man has threatened to wrest the control of the family company from Carter's eldest brother, he feels he has no other choice than to follow orders: find Hanna Wilde and hand her a sealed letter from his father. What's inside is anyone's guess. It doesn't take long for Carter to find Hanna, and she is not in the least bit happy to see him or to open the mysterious envelope. Hanna's father worked for their family until he was killed a few years ago but that isn't why she's angry at Carter. She blames him for her sister's death. Hanna is also suspicious of how her father died, and when Carter offers her a chance to stay at his family property, she jumps at the chance. However, no way is she going to have any contact with Carter while she's there. But her plans soon go awry. There's an attraction growing between Carter and Hanna.

Hanna is still dealing with the suicide of her only sister and blames Carter. It seems he had a fling with her sister that resulted in a pregnancy, but before she could let him know, Carter's father showed up and threatened her and Hanna, ordering them to stay away from his son. Hanna has bottled up her anger against Carter and it takes most of THE RELUCTANT HEIR for her to tell him about her sister's pregnancy. How will he react? Despite her intention to stay away from Carter, he turns up on her doorstep, usually with food, which then leads to them talking. He can't understand her surly attitude to him at first. Then there is his father. The man is out of the country but continues to lurk in the background. Will he make an appearance in order to cause havoc for them?

Carter was always treated shabbily by his father, which resulted in his leaving home as soon as he could. It was a chance meeting with Hanna's sister a year ago that led to a mutual no commitment weekend fling. But the sister Carter really is attracted to is Hanna. He wants a chance to explore their sizzling chemistry, even if she tries to resist him. Will he get that chance? What is in the envelope that Hanna stubbornly refuses to open?

THE RELUCTANT HEIR is the third book in  The Jameson Heirs  series about the three Jameson brothers and their battle to hang onto their father's company after they wrestled control from him. In this tale, we will see the couples from the two prior books, PREGNANT BY THE CEO and REUNION WITH BENEFITS, but this one could be read as a standalone without too much difficulty.

HelenKay Dimon pulls in readers and tantalizes them in THE RELUCTANT HEIR as she brings together Carter with the one woman he's never forgotten: Hanna. There is a lot of baggage between them, but readers will be rooting for them to have a happily-ever-after together. An engaging tale, don't miss THE RELUCTANT HEIR.
