Naughty Little Gift — Angel Payne

Readers everywhere have already fallen in love with the Cimarrons of the Isle of Arcadia: a kingdom sealed off from the modern world…until now. Slowly, Arcadia has opened its borders to outsiders from the western world -- but in this brand-new spin-off series?, a native Arcadian ventures beyond the safety of her world, trading six months of her life for the kingdom's financial stability. Manhattan might as well be another planet to innocent Mishella -- and her keeper, the beautiful but bewildering Cassian Court, just as terrifying a mystery. He connects to her soul, challenges her mind…and awakens her body in ways she's never dreamed. But how does she keep him from taking -- then breaking -- her heart? Book 1 of the Temptation Court series is Naughty Little Gift?: Make a wish… Engineering genius. Billionaire icon. Consultant to kings. Golden-haired god. Cassian Court is a legend before he even steps foot on the remote island of Arcadia -- but from the moment he locks eyes with Mishella Santelle, she can see only the man beneath the power, the presence, and the muscles…the bruised soul for whom hers has been destined… But destiny isn't a luxury for a woman of the Arcadian Court. Close your eyes… When six months of her life are bargained to Cassian in a multimillion dollar contract, Mishella must learn the rules of a more ruthless kingdom: New York City. In this glamorous jungle, paths are harder to discern, enemies are more cleverly camouflaged…and passions are impossible to ignore, especially when awakened by the man who can read her every desire with a glance, control her every arousal with a touch… And leap… Helpless against how her body and soul react to this man, Mishella dreads her heart is soon to follow -- for the ghosts from Cassian's past will never free him to return her love. In six months, she'll simply be a memory to him…the naughty little toy he played with for a while… Unless she can prove the impossible. That their love is worth fighting for.
