Description

"Michelle St. James has written another riveting and consuming book!"

Imperium: Power is Protection

Hawking McGregor was a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, responsible for taking care of both his sick mom and his little sister. He started at the bottom, creating the Imperium Group with nothing more than a few thousand dollars and some very big balls. Now it’s a multi-million dollar firm whose sole job is to protect the rich and famous. Keeping them safe is his deal with the devil, but that doesn’t mean he has to like them.

Laurel Bancroft gets it. When you’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you don’t get to complain. Not when your mom overdoses or when your dad fades out of your life. Not even when your big brother dies in a car accident. At thirty-five, she’s given up on happily ever after. She wanders the family mansion like a ghost, trying not to attract attention and fighting the depression that haunts her.

But somewhere in the dark, an enemy watches.

It starts with DMs on social media and escalates to notes left at the gate of the Bancroft estate. Still, Laurel is less than thrilled when she opens the door to Hawk McGregor. As Hawk works to protect her, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the woman who embodies everything he despises. When Laurel’s stalker gets bolder, the pair hole up at an isolated lake house where their passion ignites into an undeniable inferno and feelings that take them both by surprise. Then, just when Laurel begins to believe it’s not too late for her after all, the enemy arrives.

And he’s playing for keeps.

Can Hawk heal the wounds of the past to find love in the most unexpected place of all? Can he keep Laurel alive long enough to find out?

    Love or Money is the first book in Michelle St. James new series. Hawk McGregor is the owner of Imperium. He gets paid to protect the rich and famous, even though he despises most of what they stand for. Laurel Bancroft looks to the outside world like just another spoiled rich socialite who comes from Hollywood money. When her Uncle Mo hires Hawk to look into someone harassing her, we get to see how Hollywood is truly all smoke and mirrors. Michelle again shows us how good she is at drawing the reader in with the perfect amount of suspense, and sex appeal.

    Love or Money is the love story of Hawk McGregor and Laurel Bancroft. Hawk is asked to protect Laurel by her Uncle, Hawk’s mentor. Hawk is unable to refuse and Imperium, Hawk’s private security firm takes on the job. At first Hawk and Laurel butt heads, but as the story progresses sparks fly. While trying to find the man behind the threats and attempts on Laurel’s life, their feelings for each other grow. Is their relationship doomed or can it survive? In my opinion. Michelle St James has outdone herself. This is her best book.
