Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair isn’t used to having money. But when she and her siblings learned they were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, privileged, unreasonably sexy snob like Eli Stone.

Unlike Jade, Eli grew up rich, and he just keeps getting richer. Eli is always looking for an adventure, and he’s found an inviting one in Jade—as resistant as she is irresistible. His less-than-honorable plan? Get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.

Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done . .

We sat in silence for a few minutes, but it wasn’t an uneasy quiet.

Finally, I asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to learn before we head out tomorrow?”

“A lot of things, actually,” he said in an earnest tone. “I’d like to pick your brain some more. You’re as intelligent as you are beautiful.”

“I wish you’d stop saying things like that,” I blurted out.

“Why?”

“Because you’ve known far more attractive women, so it makes me uncomfortable. I’m okay with who I am, so I don’t need fake compliments.”

“How do you know that you aren’t the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen?”

I rolled my eyes, but he probably couldn’t see me since I was staring into the fire. “The A-list actress and the two supermodels you dated are pretty much a dead giveaway.”

“I’m not with them anymore. I’m with you,” he stated simply. “Did somebody do a number on you, Jade? Because it sounds to me like someone made you feel like you aren’t perfect, which you are, whether you see it or not.”

“I’ve always been a geek,” I shared. “In high school, I was the girl every guy avoided because I was a tomboy. But I didn’t really care all that much. I was happier just being outside alone.”

“What about college?”

I shrugged. “I was still a geek. I had one boyfriend, and he ended up leaving me without a word after I helped him through his master’s degree.”

“He was probably intimidated by you, and he’s a total idiot if he didn’t hang on to you. His loss; my gain.”

What my brother Aiden had said about insecure guys just yesterday popped into my head. “I’m not really intimidating.”

“You are,” he countered. “But I personally get turned on by a woman who can handle a knife better than I can.”

A laugh escaped my mouth. “You’re crazy.”

“At least I’m honest,” he said.

I stood up. “I think I’d better get to bed. Are you pitching a tent, or do you want a bunk?”

My conversation with Eli was getting dangerous. If I didn’t stop it now, I might start believing that he actually did see me as more attractive than the women he’d dated, and just the thought of that was ludicrous.

Eli rose and blocked my way to the cabin. “Hey,” he said in a low, fierce tone. “Don’t ever let anybody make you feel like you aren’t a woman worth fighting for. Your ex was an idiot, but that’s about him, not you.”

I felt tears start to pool in my eyes, but I blinked them away. “It’s not just that,” I said quietly. “What guy wants a woman who would rather eat like a pig or spend the day outside instead of dressing up and going out to a club or something?”

Eli stepped forward and dropped a kiss on my forehead. “Me,” he said gruffly. “And I’ll take a bunk. It’s too damn cold to sleep outside.”

I nodded and led the way inside, trying to ignore that nearly unstoppable desire to throw myself into his arms.

For some insane reason, Eli Stone really did want me.

And I was getting pretty tired of fighting my own insane attraction to him.
