Kate Walker, Bound by Blackmail

Revenge or lust? Jake Taverner is immediately drawn to Mercedes Alcolar the only daughter of Juan Alcolar, media mogul and Spanish aristocrat. All he knows is that he must have her, even though revenge for her family is at the top of the Taverner's list. From the moment Jake sees this beautiful and proud lady, he is driven to get to know her and get her into his bed. From their first dance and then a casual dinner, sparks fly and passion ignites. Mercedes flees Jake's home and he pursues her, only to be turned down several times. His cousin Ramon's wedding presents the perfect opportunity to see Mercedes again. At the wedding, Jake becomes involved in an argument and confrontation with Mercedes and her future fianc . In order to protect Mercedes from scandal, Jake claims he and Mercedes are engaged. Let's just say from then on their story begins in a very "heated" way.

Mercedes, the only child and sister of the strong and power Alcolar Family feels weak in the knees when she first meets this tall, strong and handsome Jake. As a woman, she becomes aware of herself and is pulled in a powerful way to this man. Blackmailed into a false engagement? How dare he? How dare the handsome Jake make her heart and blood pound? How dare he bring out feelings of lust and love? Their story guarantees passion and will pull at your heart.

Bound for Blackmail is the final book in the Alcolar's series. Again, Kate Walker has written three incredible books connecting this "dysfunctional" family together, and making the reader believe that love can indeed conquer all, heals old childhood memories and family issues, bringing these wonderful characters full circle and creating a powerful family. I personally will miss The Alcolar's as I've come to love each and everyone of them.

Additional books in the series are:

The Twelve- Month Mistress

The Spaniard's Inconvenient Wife
