Brianna Wyatt’s father has just thrown her into shock and horror with his desire to have her pregnant. Not just pregnant, but pregnant as a result of him offering her to the infamous Cole Masters. Refusing to sleep with a man she doesn’t even know, Brianna is devastated when her father threatens to make her brother pay for her refusal. This is something Brianna cannot let happen and relents to her fate at the hands of a father who never really loved her.

Cole Masters is stunned when he receives a letter requesting to buy his sperm. It seems the man needs a male heir to continue his family lineage and is willing to sell his own daughter. Cole is sure there is something more to this request, some repercussions that will end up costing him dearly. When he meets with Mr. Wyatt, he is shocked with two revelations: one, Mr. Wyatt is quite serious and two, his daughter, Brianna, is breathtaking.

When Cole agrees to the crazy offer, he enacts his own plan in return. Learning that there is more to Brianna then he originally thought, Cole makes his own proposition or blackmail if you will when he determines she had no involvement in her current situation. He will ensure her brother’s safety if she submits herself to him for a period of one week. What else can Brianna do but accept. With the help of his best friend, Tyler Cannon, Cole sets out to seduce Brianna into his bed and Tyler’s. Can Cole and Tyler’s desire to have Brianna’s body win her affections? Will Brianna find that a man she didn’t want anything to do with also happens to be the very man she doesn’t want to lose?

Blackmailed instantly grabs the reader’s attention with the outrageous situation a father places his daughter in. Readers hearts will go out to Brianna, forever cheering for her to come out the victor in this plot. Brianna’s delightful personality is laced with compassion for her brother, devotion to his care and safety, and unbridled passion. Cole brings a strong-willed, driven man into the plot. His determination to have Brianna is as evident as his good-natured, compassionate side for a woman devastated by her dilemma. Add to this mix, Tyler and his protective side and consuming personality and Brianna has found two amazing men. Annmarie McKenna does a fabulous job at creating two male characters that will rival for their spot as your favorite along with a heroine any reader would love to know. Amidst this plot of blackmail, readers will also find suspense and danger showing up along the way and a tantalizing amount of hot, steaming passion that will set the pages afire.
