Because Of The Ring. Stella Bagwell
“I am not on the prowl for a sugar daddy!”
Claudia said, bolting to her feet.
Hayden shot her a wry look. “I’m not old enough for that!”
Claudia tried to clamp down on her rising temper. Which, in itself, was a new task for her. She wasn’t a woman who let herself get angry about anything. Until now. But there was something about this powerful, compelling man that drove her crazy—and they’d only just met!
“The only—and let me repeat, the only—reason I’m here is because I tracked you through your boat’s registration.”
His expression suddenly wary, he stepped toward her. “Are you digging into my personal affairs? Because if you are, I’ll personally toss you out of here.”
“I’m here because—” She sucked in a fierce breath, then heaved out the next words. “Because you’re the man I—I can’t get out of my mind.”
