About this ebook

No way out!

Cord Lachoni obviously thought he could bulldoze his way into Aline's life. Well, he was in for a big surprise! Thanks to her twin brother's recent activities, Aline found that they were indebted to Cord for the grand total of fifty thousand pounds…. And Cord had thought up a ruthless punishment—he employed Aline as his personal assistant!

Aline knew that working for Cord was going to be tough. He would make sure of that. But Aline was determined to free herself from his clutches. She would be the model PA, but she would find some way out—and not even the occasional glimpses of her new boss's tantalizing charm could stop her!

Ratings and reviews

Finally a book from this author that has a heroine with some spine! Yes, the hero treats her terribly at first, but in the end she is the stronger emotionally, which goes a long way to balance the scales. Usually the heroine is a doormat until the last 20 pages, which is infuriating.

About the author

Helen Brooks began writing in 1990 as she approached her 40th birthday! She realized her two teenage ambitions (writing a novel and learning to drive) had been lost amid babies and hectic family life, so set about resurrecting them. In her spare time she enjoys sitting in her wonderfully therapeutic, rambling old garden in the sun with a glass of red wine (under the guise of resting while thinking of course). Helen lives in Northampton, England with her husband and family.
