Emmett Benson makes no apologies for his bachelor status.

When it comes to his life, he figures he has it made, and that there is no reason to alter things—now, or in the future... moreEmmett Benson makes no apologies for his bachelor status.

He never expected her to accept his offer.He thought he was in trouble before, but after just one kiss, every dominant part of Emmett’s being thunders: MINE. less
