Maid for the Billionaire


Maid for the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello

Dominic Corisi knew instantly that Abigail Dartley was just the distraction he was looking for, especially since having her took a bit more persuading than he was used to. So when business forces him to fly to China, he decides to take her with him, but on his terms. No promises. No complications. Just sex. 

Abby has always been the responsible one. She doesn’t believe in taking risks; especially when it comes to men - until she meets Dominic. He’s both infuriating and intoxicating, a heady combination. Their trip to China revives a long forgotten side of Abby but also reveals a threat to bring down Dominic’s company. With no time to explain her actions, Abby must either influence the outcome of his latest venture and save his company or accept her role as his mistress and leave his fate to chance. Does she love him enough to risk losing him for good?**

Dominic is in Boston to go to the reading of the will for his recently deceased father. They were estranged, and he knows that he's not getting anything from the will but he wants to see his sister and he needs to know what's going on with the will.  When he gets into his home in Boston the maid is still there and even though he tells her to leave she stays and tells him he needs a shower. No one stands up to Dominic Corisi, no one would dare tell him he stinks. This woman does and she intrigues him.

Abby is only cleaning this house because her sister has the flu and if she doesn't Lil will lose this job and she needs it. This man though is arrogant and rich, obviously used to getting his way. No way is she going to bow to his will. She leaves and dents his car as she goes. 

Dominic wants more time with Abby, so he invites her to go with him to China, no strings just time with him when he's not working. Abby is hesitant, she's always been the responsible one. But after some prodding, she decides to go.  Things go awry when she decides to step in on this deal to try and help save it, without talking to Dominic first. Probably wasn't her brightest idea.

Dominic is loud and imposing and Abby is quiet and logical. Honestly, they're yin and yang. There were a few spots that I didn't love Dominic but he grew on me. He protects who and what he loves. He's also used to getting what he wants so Abby not being so accommodating is refreshing.  She isn't perfect but she doesn't really let him walk all over her. Except when he's kidnapping her! I gobbled up this book and immediately started the second one.
