Hired Hand — Elizabeth Bevarly

Fortune-teller Miranda True claimed she could see the future -- and more -- in the lines of a man's hand. And while he'd had his doubts at first, Lucas Strathmoor was becoming a believer -- even trusting her mystical powers to guide his corporate takeover bids. Trouble was, these days his mind seemed to be on a different kind of merger....

Miranda liked what she saw in the ruthless corporate raider's palm. His heart line betrayed the gentleness he hid from the world -- and even from himself. But while she was willing to share her knowledge with him, she wasn't about to be just another hired hand. She meant to be nothing less than Lucas Strathmoor's partner -- for life.
