Greece – Present Day

Twenty-one months ago, attorney Erin Murphy and CEO Ajax Nikolau ended their brief affair after he informed her that they could no longer see each other. But one day Ajax shows up on her doorstep, wanting to resume their affair. Before Erin can respond, a baby’s cry alerts him that they are not alone. Does Erin have a baby? One look at the little girl and he realizes that he is the father. Erin doesn’t bother to deny it and claims she tried several times to contact him through his company to no avail. While Ajax is digesting the news about fatherhood, the paparazzi get wind of a potential scandal about him fathering a baby. He informs Erin that she and the little girl, Ashling, need to come with him to Greece where they can hide out while they figure things out. She agrees, but she wonders how being this close to Ajax again will prove dangerous to her heart. 

Ajax is part of a powerful and wealthy family in Greece and any scandal involving him must be taken care of. He had been married once, with a little boy, but his wife and child tragically died in an accident. For this reason, Ajax had vowed never to marry again or have children. Erin’s pregnancy was an accident, and while he is protective of her and Ashling, he knows that he will never fall in love with them. Ashling would just be his heir. After arriving in Greece, they settle down nicely and he begins to feel a stir of desire for Erin again. While he tells her that he will grant her sole custody of Ashling, he still wants to keep them close by. Erin is soon occupying his bed. He can’t fall in love with her. His family history proves that love won’t be successful.

Erin was mostly raised by her father after her mother walked out. When Ajax broke off their affair, she was heartbroken and vowed never to let any man capture her heart again. But Ajax proves to be tantalizing and seductive in bed. She watches as he slowly begins to accept and grow to care for Ashling. But he makes it clear that he can’t let a child into his heart again—because of the child he lost. However, Erin won’t let Ashling become damaged by her father’s indifference. Is there a way that Ajax falls in love with both Erin and Ashling in HEIR FOR HIS EMPIRE? Readers will feel the pain these two have because of their childhoods. They have a lot of love to give, even if they don’t realize it.

An emotional and passionate tale about two people trying not to fall in love, though Cupid has other plans. Don’t miss HEIR FOR HIS EMPIRE.
