Take This Woman — Lilian Peake

She needed cash -- not compromise

Giving in to millionaire Scott Baird's sensual charms filled Kirsten's fantasies from the moment they met. Doing so, however, would confirm Scott's cynical view that women easily traded their lovemaking for cold cash.

And, unfortunately, money was what Kirsten needed--to restore Tall Trees, the mansion she'd unexpectedly inherited from Scott's great-uncle, but which Scott insisted she should sell.

Although he refused her a loan, Scott did offer a curious compromise--tenancy in exchange for making Tall Trees habitable. As if Kirsten needed a man she couldn't resist sharing the same leaky roof!
