The Innocent's Sinful Craving

The Innocent's Sinful Craving
Sara Craven

Everything she’s ever wanted…Dana Grantham was abandoned as a child, and the stately mansion she called home symbolised the security she so desperately wanted. She dreamt of a future within its four walls – until a shameful scandal and billionaire Zac Belisandro drove her away.…at a price!Now Dana has the opportunity to return to the life she craves, but comes face-to-face with Zac. He’s tainted her life once before, and now he has an outrageous proposition – he’ll give Dana her heart’s desire if she gives him her hand in marriage…and her innocence on their wedding night!

‘Be my wife,’ Zac said lightly.‘And save Mannion from its fate.’

Her hand jerked, spilling coffee on to the coral dress. She said breathlessly, ‘If that’s a joke, I don’t find it amusing.’

‘I am perfectly serious,’ he said. ‘I am asking you to marry me, Dana mia.’

‘In which case you must be mad.’ She swallowed convulsively. ‘And the answer is no.’

Zac sighed elaborately. ‘And only moments ago you were declaring that no sacrifice was too great for the house you love.’

Oh, God, she thought. Why did I let my mouth run away with me?

She took a deep breath. ‘Marriage is totally different. I am not for sale.’
