A Tough Man To Tame(1991)

Iris Johansen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen spins the unforgettable story of a brilliant young woman and the sexy financial wizard with the power to make her dreams come true.
 
Mariana Sandell is on a mission to get Louis Benoit alone, convinced that once he listens to her business proposition, he’ll leap at the opportunity. But bypassing his security detail at his chateau is a piece of cake compared to standing face-to-face with the charismatic and assured mogul. For every time his gaze lingers down her body, her pulse races out of control.
 
At first, Louis is amused by the beautiful brunette who boldly confronts him at his home. When he hears of her million-dollar idea, he’s intrigued. And when she seduces him, he’s pleasantly surprised. Yet he can tell that behind Mariana’s seemingly cool façade lies a vulnerable woman with secrets—and he’s determined to uncover them. But first he must earn her by making her fall hopelessly in love with him.
