A Dragon's Lair

Daisye Chambers was a southern lady through and through, as long as that meant she could wear blue jeans and not be expected to attend parties and act like a socialite. Her family was more than wealthy, but she preferred to work for her own and not live off of her family's money. Until her father announced that they were dead broke, and he was swindled out of the textile business that had been in their family for over sixty years. Then she just wanted revenge and to find the person who betrayed her father. Daisye followed the trail, and it led to England and a mansion that looked liked a palace. Its enigmatic owner Hawke was part of the puzzle that led to her father's downfall. Daisye went to a party at the mansion with the intent of breaking into the personal vault and find the evidence she needed, but she soon found out that everything was not as easy as it was planned, and not everything was as it seemed. Hawke caught her in his office, and he offered her answers to questions and shared the secrets of his life. Under the onslaught of his kiss, she felt a burning that ignited something deep within her. Daisy found more than she ever dreamed in the arms of the man who had a voice as smooth as southern comfort. But there was more danger than she imagined, and the man she thought was her nemesis was now her protector.
