I went to see him this morning. He told me he was trying to buy the property and what he hoped to do with it. I basically told him I\u2019d stop him.\u201d Marc didn\u2019t respond immediately as he tried to picture Sophie and Jasper going at it head-to-head. In the past, he would have put his money on Jasper, but after spending time in Sophie\u2019s presence, he had no doubt she could hold her own in an argument with her dad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have less than two months, Soph. The kind of fundraising we\u2019d need to arrange would have to be on a large scale. Events like that take longer than a few weeks to organize.\u201d \u201cI know, but I\u2019ve already got something in the works. Originally, the dinner last night was phase one in a two-part charity drive for the domestic abuse shelter. I stopped by there to talk to Jenna, the manager of the shelter, before I came here.<\/p>\n

The second fundraiser, a bachelor auction, is set to take place in a few weeks. Jenna agrees that the center needs to be saved. So many of the women and children who seek shelter at her place have benefited from the programs offered at the center. We\u2019ve decided all the money taken in at the bachelor auction will be used to help with the improvements needed at the center.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the first time in days, Marc felt a spark of hope. Even so, he couldn\u2019t sugarcoat things for Sophie. \u201cThe funds needed are fairly substantial. I\u2019m not sure one fundraiser will do it.\u201d \u201cMaybe not, but I called Casey Woods on my way here. Do you know Casey?\u201d Marc nodded. \u201cOnly by reputation. He did all the renovations on the Crawford Inn, where your benefit dinner took place, right?\u201d \u201cYeah, that\u2019s him. He\u2019s done some work at Books and Brew over the past year or so\u2014and he\u2019s also got the hots for Jordan.<\/p>\n

I told him about the center and he\u2019s offered his services in making the repairs. He\u2019ll work at cost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophia Kennedy is determined to chase her own success, rather than ride her father\u2019s coattails. She\u2019s devoted herself to Books and Brew, the business she owns with her three best friends. She doesn\u2019t feel the need to explain herself to anyone, least of all the free-aid lawyer who\u2019s determined to judge her as a society princess. She\u2019d ignore him altogether\u2026if it were up to her mind.<\/p>\n

But nooooo. Her body just has to have its say\u2014and it\u2019s using words like \u201cgorgeous\u201d, \u201chot\u201d and \u201csexy\u201d. Soon, annoyance turns to attraction, verbal sparring to physical satisfaction as the couple is drawn together by a common cause. Marc Garrett has no time for a relationship. And he certainly doesn\u2019t want a rich society fixture, though the damning evidence below his belt suggests otherwise.<\/p>\n

The more he comes to know his hardworking princess, the more he wants her, again and again. Marc\u2019s falling hard, but after holding Sophie\u2019s wealth against her, how will she react when she learns of his own rather prosperous roots? 1kitap1.com\/en Bachelor\u2019s Bait Mari Carr 1kitap1.com\/en Dedication This story is dedicated to Deb.

She was barefoot with cotton stuffed between each of her toes, thanks to her unfinished pedicure. She glanced left then right, trying to recall which direction Patricia Butler\u2013Baines had gone. \u201cNo good deed goes unpunished,\u201d she muttered under her breath, mentally flipping a coin and heading to the right.<\/p>\n

She lifted her iPhone and awkwardly tried to find Patricia\u2019s name in her list of contacts. God knew it would be an easier task if she wasn\u2019t running with a freaking toy poodle named Pookie in the bag hanging over her shoulder. Patricia, one of the most annoying women in the world, had spotted her while Sophie was getting the pedicure. Sophie had just dipped her feet into the cool soaking solution and closed her eyes, grateful for a few minutes of relaxing quiet.<\/p>\n

That quiet had lasted exactly twenty-four seconds before Patricia burst into the shop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
