This surprised me by how much I enjoyed it! It’s a short and fast read with good chemistry between the characters and a fun premise.
Lily wants to see Calder Cunningham in order to get him to give the Arts Center that she works for the money his father promised before his death. Instead, she ends up making bets and playing cat-and-mouse games with Calder as they get stuck together for the weekend.
This really was just fun and steamy, and there were some hints of deeper plot lines that added to the story.

Billionaire (ostensibly) heir tricks a nonprofit organizer into hanging out with him for awhile and then into sleeping with him. I wish I had been awake enough to DNF this book but it was short so I read the whole thing.

I originally found this book for free on Kobo Canada and ended up buying the entire collection on my Kindle. I wasn't sure what it was even about, but I was sucked in right away. Calder Cunningham is this mysterious billionaire who has inherited his father's assets after his death. Lily Frazer, along with her father, run an arts centre for kids. The Cunningham's have often been their biggest donor but Calder mysteriously withdraws the donation without reason. Lily doesn't want to take no for an answer so she goes to visit Calder at his estate.
A rain storm washes out the road and Lily is forced to stay the weekend with this man she seems to despise. But Calder works his way into her heart (and her pants) and proposes a game. If Lily wins, she gets her donation. But not everything is black and white and certainly not with Calder Cunningham.
I devoured this novel and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it! I recommend it to anyone who wants a little light (and hot!) reading!
“He can play the gentleman all he wants. I know he's still an asshole at heart.”

it was a good start to a great story. Can't wait to read the next books!
Lily Frazer's life is the Frazer Centre where she and her father make a difference for others but when the funding is gone Lily sets out to plead her case to the one man she thinks is able to help her. Lily is so single minded on her mission that she fails to see what is right in front of her nose.
Calder Cunningham is a spoiled playboy and billionaire and finds more than he bargained for when he finds a trespasser on his property.
I really enjoyed this book and it has a twist you don't see coming.

Honestly, I kept flip-flopping between giving this a 2 or 3 stars. Even though I gave it a 3, my feelings for it are more of a 2.5.
I was pretty annoyed by the bickering between Calder and Lily that by the end of the book I really didn’t care if they got together. And even though they do (it’s a romance novel, these things always have to have happy endings), it just didn’t feel right. I never got the sense that these two had anything going on on a deeper level between them. Yes they like to fuck and play sexy games with each other, but that’s pretty much all they do. We never see them discuss their hopes or dreams, mainly because they’re both keeping secrets from each other. And if they do try and dig deeper to learn more about the other, one of them always flips out and it starts a fight that ends in a weird pivot to flirtation and then sex.
I’m not hating on the sex scenes, because they were pretty good. There weren’t so many that I was getting bored by them and they were descriptive enough without feeling redundant.
Overall, this book was ok. I definitely won’t be buying the other books in the series, though.
