Falling for Alexander — Claire Robyns

Corkscrew Bay Series

Book 2
Each book in this series can be read as a standalone story

Kate's waited three years to meet the new owner of Darrock Castle. What she did not expect was her intense attraction to the sexy-as-sin recluse billionaire with dubious scruples that included -- but possibly not limited to -- random threats, unreasonable firings, community snubbing and suspicious helicopter activity. But she's falling, sinking to the bottom, and there she finds a vulnerability in the man she'd never have imagined.

When Alexander Gerardo decides to teach the local reporter a lesson, what he finds instead is a woman who fills spaces he'd never known were there. Who crashes over walls he would have sworn he'd never erected. His natural aversion to the media has deep roots, but when it comes to Kate, he's never wanted anything or anyone else more. Even if it means he's playing with fire and tempting disaster.

When enemies turn to lovers, can sex turn into a romance to last a lifetime?


“I need to speak to the senior editor.” The gravel tenor rumbled over that order and down her spine to curl into her toes.
Kate blew out a long, shallow breath.
An abrupt, “Please” followed, tacked on like an afterthought.
Didn't matter. There was a sexy voice, and then there was sin. This voice belonged on a face with chiselled cheekbones and a hollowed jaw. On a tanned body rippled in lean muscle. Designer suits and Armani sunglasses. Dark brown hair mussed with a careless hand and sliding into the turn of a collar.
“Hello?” came the voice again, traced with accents of Italian.
“Um, speaking,” she said, fanning hot cheeks with her free hand. If Megan were here, she'd put this guy on speakerphone. “This is the senior editor.”
“Excellent. Then you're responsible for approving that piece on the front page of the paper today.”
Her mind snapped to attention and her toes uncurled.
