Just One Taste - (Dirty Dares) by Carly Phillips (Paperback)

About the Book

One grumpy billionaire. One supermodel. Add in a tropical private island paradise. What could go wrong? As owner and CEO of Dirty Dare Spirits, thirty-three year old, Asher Dare has it all. Money. Power. Women whenever he wants. A private island retreat when he doesn't. People he trusts? He can count those on one hand. When one of his best friends asks a favor--hide his twenty-one year old, supermodel sister, on the island until a scandal blows over--Asher can't say no. But he doesn't have to like it. The daughter of a Senator and a Presidential candidate, Nicolette Bettencourt always acts with decorum. Yet through no fault of her own, scandal seems to follow her every move. When nude photos surface, the uproar puts her father's campaign at risk. And forces her into hiding with Asher, the hottest--and grumpiest--billionaire she's ever met. Under soothing tropical breezes, Asher discovers that Nicolette is nothing like the spoiled brat portrayed in the tabloids. She's warm, sexy, and a temptation Asher must resist at all costs--or he risks betraying his closest friend, bringing a powerful political dynasty to its knees... and losing the woman he loves.

Book Synopsis

I'm Nicolette Bettencourt-tabloid trouble magnet, family embarrassment and, apparently, in need of a tropical timeout. My brother's solution? Hide me away on Asher Dare's private island retreat until the latest scandal dies down.

Asher Dare-yes, that Dare-Billionaire. Owner of Dirty Dare Spirits. And my brother's best friend agrees to help out.

He's all sharp suits and sharper words... and somehow still the hottest guy I've ever seen.

We're stuck together under one roof with way too much chemistry humming between us.

I'm supposed to keep a low profile. He's supposed to keep his hands to himself.

He thinks I'm too young. I know he's too grumpy, yet somehow we fit.

But when it's time to return to reality, will he admit we belong together and risk the wrath of my brother? Or walk away and break my heart?
