The Inheritance — Sue Fineman

Blade Banner inherits his grandfather's estate. He's given a million and the old man's mansion, but the rest won't be his until he marries. He's been alone since he was fifteen and has never had a long-term relationship. What woman would want to marry a man whose best friend is his Harley? He promised his grandfather he'd help maintain the integrity of the family shipping business, but he can't get his hands on the company stock until he finds himself a wife.

After a bitter divorce, Maria Donatelli, mother of four, works with Blade on a house plan. From the beginning, sparks fly between them, and even though she tries to keep her distance, she can't stay away from him. She doesn't tell him she can hear his thoughts, a gift she inherited from her mother.

Blade tries to convince Maria to marry him and help him claim his entire inheritance, but he can't tell her what she longs to hear. He loves her and wants a real marriage. But Maria isn't Blade's only problem. People are dying, and he's sure the deaths have something to do with his inheritance. He's afraid the bad guys will come after Maria and the kids, and he'll do everything in his power to protect them.
