The Billionaire's Contract 2: Considerations
by Alicia Roberts
A condition of his Grandpa's will stipulated that Brad must get married and stay married for a year, if he's to inherit Reinehart Industries. The deadline by which Brad has to get married is approaching quickly, so he proposes to Alexis Jones, the cute receptionist he met two days ago.Alexis isn't really sure about the whole thing. But then Brad suggests that she go with him to Paris for the weekend, so they can both spend a bit more time together before she makes her decision.Alexis is conflicted about the choice for a number of reasons. But two passionate days in Paris, followed by a day in Brad's glamorous New York world, help her to make up her mind.
