If love had a price / by Huang, Ana,author.;
Every heart has a price. She offered him $10,000 to seduce her father's gold-digging fiancée. He countered with $15,000 and a kiss -- from her. At any time he chose. Kris should've said no, but she was desperate to get rid of her stepmother-to-be, and the gorgeous actor with the wicked grin was perfect for the job. So she agreed to his terms -- not knowing that doing so would cost her a lot more than money and a kiss ... He did it for the money -- which he desperately needed. The kiss was just a bonus -- or so he told himself. Melting an ice princess like Kris started as a challenge, but by the time Nate realized there was more to Kris than meets the eye, it was too late: he had fallen. But they're not just from opposite sides of the track -- they're from different worlds. And when those worlds collide, Kris and Nate must decide whether they're willing to give up what they have for what could be.
