The fine art of seduction
Maximus Knight just had a rude awakening. It’s bad enough he has to compete for control of Knight Shipping with the half brother he never knew he had. Now his father’s will has just given gorgeous gallery owner Tahlia Armstrong a tie-breaking stake in the company. Seducing her into turning over her shares—and controlling interest—to him backfires when a sizzling kiss ignites emotions too powerful to ignore.
Max is Tahlia’s secret weakness. For years, she has desired the man no woman can resist. But the charismatic entrepreneur is used to getting what he wants, and Tahlia has been scorched by love before. When a shocking power play threatens their passionate bond, Tahlia has to decide whether she can trust Max with her heart—and a love too precious to lose.
He spun her around and, to her surprise, began buttoning her coat.
“I can do it,” Tahlia said, halting his hands with her own.
“I want to make sure you’re warm,” Maximus said, brushing her hands aside as he continued his task.
Tahlia looked down. Didn’t he know she was not only warm, but she was also on fire from his touch? She hadn’t recovered from his earlier kiss, and being in this confined space with Maximus was playing havoc on her senses. Her heart was already beating an erratic rhythm.
“Tahlia, look at me.” Maximus’s voice was husky with desire.
She met his eyes with hers, and they scanned her face slowly and seductively. And when his gaze slid downward to her lips and he lifted his thumb to caress them, her pulse quickened. Maximus tilted her chin upward with a finger to inch her closer to him. Tahlia knew what was coming next, and there was no hesitation on her part. She twined her fingers into his curly hair at the back of his head as she’d been longing to do. Sweet relief flooded her as he hauled her against him, bent his head and closed his mouth over hers.
I hope you find Maximus Knight’s story a satisfying conclusion to the Knights of Los Angeles series that began with Taming Her Tycoon. My idea of a sibling rivalry over the family dynasty came from watching the television show Empire.
I love the arc of each character’s metamorphosis. Maximus can’t get past his father’s betrayal in giving half his birthright to his brother, Lucius Knight, with Tahlia Armstrong as the tiebreaker vote. Maximus is equal parts charmer and schemer as he tries to retain his empire by seducing lovable Tahlia. She becomes empathetic to Maximus’s plight after realizing her surrogate father, Arthur Knight, had faults. It’s exciting to see Maximus’s growth as he falls for Tahlia’s sweet nature and accepts his new brother.
