A Reluctant Mistress

Clay Beauchamp would have to learn—Natalia was not for sale!

Tending capsicum tunnel-houses from dawn to dusk on her Northland farm, she had spent years slaving to clear her late father’s crushing debts. The formidable tycoon had to realize—she refused to surrender her hard-won independence!

He was handsome, protective, even generous, but nothing would lure Natalia into his bed…until the night her livelihood was destroyed, and Clay came to her rescue….

A ruthless midnight raid stripped her hydroponics system and destroyed her crops, plunging her into sudden crisis. His boundless wealth could purchase Pukekahu Station—it could never buy her peace of mind.

When Clay offered Natalia a home and freedom from her debts, she accepted. But how long could she remain as his mistress, when she wanted to be his wife?
