Revenge is sweet but love is so much sweeter! Phoenix Beaumont had no place in his life for a serious relationship. For him, women were expensive toys to play with for a day or two and then move to another. So, Genie Mitchell saw no problem working part-time for the playboy doctor. He wasn’t attracted to her since he hated all women and she needed his money to pay her bills, so it was a win-win situation. That is why Genie saw nothing wrong in accepting her boss’s proposal: to accompany Phoenix to a medical conference as his fake lover. He was willing to pay good cash for her… services, so Genie saw nothing wrong in saying ‘yes’. While spending time with Phoenix, she discovered that the gorgeous, sexy doctor wasn’t who she thought he was. That in his presence, she was not who she thought she was.

CHAPTER 1

She looked at him like she was about to strangle her brother. All her pep talk from earlier served to nothing. He was still against going to Los Angeles. He wasn’t willing to participate in the most important medical conference of the year!“What do you mean, you're not going? Phoenix, you promised you would go! It’s for the best of this clinic! You've been working non-stop for nearly one year and a half without taking a break, without enjoying Christmas or Easter. You worked even on the 4th of July... If you don't take a few days off, you'll end up in a hospital bed!”“A few days off… Really, Nicky? Surely you must know that what you’re asking me to do is to attend a medical conference, not a spa,” Phoenix replied.“Ok, it might be all work and no play for the first half of each day. But then I expect you to come out of your boredom-induced coma and

Another triumph for E.S.! Great characters, vulnerable FL, broody ML, both with old scars, secrets, and regrets. Great plot development. All packed into a lovely short story. I’m only sad that I’m running out of E.S. novels to read, all of them are exceptional!

That was a great girl’s fight. Fake girl pretending to be all soft and nice. Don’t for my favorite part pretending to be your friend. That girl came up to Genie told her I don’t like you. You don’t like me. Can we cut the shit and you tell me what you want. All while we are at country club

           She looked at him like she was about to strangle her brother. All her pep talk from earlier served to nothing. He was still against going to Los Angeles.

CHAPTER 2

          Genie knew that tone of voice. And clearly so did Nicole, who emerged from the room looking defeated. Closing the door distractedly behind her, she began walking slowly across the empty waiting room with a genuinely troubled look on her face. She seemed totally unaware of Genie's presence behind the desk, so deep in thought was she. Genie's clearing her throat brought her head up with a startled gasp.“Oh… Genie… I forgot you were still here.”“Would you like a cup of tea, Nicky?” she offered. “You seem a little... upset.”“No, thank you,” Nicole said sighing. “You're a sweet girl. I'd better go home and get dinner started. It's time you went home too, isn't it? It's after five.”“Dr. Beaumont hasn't finished dictating today's letters. I'll have to stay here until I've typed them up. You know how… meticulous he is about that.”“Unfortunately! Make sure you put down the overtime.”“Oh, I will,

CHAPTER 3

          Genie was just beginning the second letter when she remembered the other letter, the one she'd forgotten to give to Phoenix. All the mail had been delivered extra late that day after Dr. Beaumont had started seeing patients. Not that he ever opened the mail himself, unless it was marked 'Confidential' or 'Private'.          Such an occurrence was extremely rare. Most letters sent to the clinic were either cheques for unpaid accounts, general inquiries from other doctors, or advertising mail from various pharmaceutical and medical companies. But there was one letter that Friday which Genie thought the doctor might want to see personally.          It was from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Los Angeles where the medical conference he and Nicky were arguing about was being held. It was a notice about a last-minute cha

CHAPTER 4

          Her eyes got widened, and then she frowned. Genie stared at him while battling to control the simmering fury that was wrapping her entire being. The nerve of this guy! The arrogance in his voice while suggesting her to accept his money and pretend they were together…           ‘What do I say?’ she thought looking straight at him, still appalled and mad by his callousness. ‘You never took the time of day to get your head out from your ass and look at me, maybe try to understand who I am, and now you ask me what do I say about your proposal? I would say not in a billion years, you pompous, patronizing bastard! I would say stick your proposal where the sun doesn’t shine. I'd say up yours, you arrogant prick! I wouldn't spend one hour alone with you, let alone three days and three nights! Not even if my life would depend on it!’“Dr. Beaumont, I'm sorry, but I absolutely c

CHAPTER 5

          The old lady was brokenhearted. Genie was standing on the bed trying to comfort Miss Rowland. That weekend has been the absolute worst for Genie, for so many reasons. It all started with her quitting her waitressing job after her boss put his sleazy hand on her ass one time too many. Then, on that same Saturday night, some thug broke into Miss Rowland's room. The poor old lady was so distressed that Genie spent the whole Sunday trying to comfort her.“It's going to be alright, Miss Rowland,” Genie said while holding her hand after the police had finally left the house.          They were sitting in Miss Rowland's room, which was the biggest and best in the ancient old boarding house, its large window overlooking the small flower garden. Unfortunately, it had been this same window that had given the thief easy entry into the downstairs room.       &nb

CHAPTER 6

“Since I have nothing to do for the evening, let’s talk a little bit more about what I’m expecting for the money I’m paying you,” Phoenix continued abruptly. “First things first… Your clothes.”“My… clothes?” she repeated blankly, her mind still back on her disturbing weakness for the Doctor. “What about my clothes?”“I suppose that you do own something other than that black skirt and white blouse you wear every Friday, don't you?”          Genie thought of all the designer clothes hanging up in her wardrobe in her father’s house. Such wonderful outfits, timeless classical styles. She didn't doubt they would still be where she left them. She would have no trouble getting them if she went during the day when her father was at the office.“Actually, I have quite an extensive wardrobe,” she replied coolly

CHAPTER 7

          The week, which usually dragged when she spent it searching unsuccessfully for a full-time job, had simply flown. Any spare minute had been taken up with alterations to her clothes. Hems had been taken up or down, and seams let out where possible.“Tell me again the name of the place you're off to, child?” Miss Rowland asked as she watched Genie packing the freshly washed and pressed outfits.“Ritz-Carlton Hotel, in Los Angeles,” she replied, smiling as the old lady maneuvered the chair closer just by pressing a button.          In just two short days she'd become a real expert, whizzing up and down the hallway and rarely bumping into anyone anymore. Seeing Miss Rowland so happy made the sacrifice of the coming weekend worthwhile.'It's one of the most expensive hotels in the city.”“And what exactly is it you have to do there?”   &

CHAPTER 8

          The taxi driver let Genie in front of the clinic after taking almost all the money she had in her purse. She sighed, then glanced at her watch. She arrived there too early. Taking a deep, steadying breath, Genie picked up her suitcase and entered the clinic.          Her stomach began to flutter as she made her way across the coolly tiled floor towards Phoenix’s office. When she found herself in the waiting room, Genie heard a little voice in her head.          ‘Don't go,’ it said. ‘Run! Run now!’          Run? But how could she? She'd been paid, Phoenix knew her address, and she was almost broke. There was nowhere to run to… She took a deep breath to calm down. Genie couldn't help being a bit nervous about the weekend

CHAPTER 9

“What was wrong with that little girl?” Genie asked abruptly, in order to break the awkward silence that seemed to have developed.          They'd only been on their way a few minutes but it felt like an eternity to Genie. She was much too aware of Phoenix. She had been aware from the moment he'd taken her down to the darkened basement car park and personally handed her into the passenger seat of his BMW.          She had quivered at his touch, her fears of blindly responding to this man well and truly founded. He looked at her for a second that his eyes turned to the road ahead. Her question puzzled him for a moment.“Oh, you mean Susie. She has scoliosis. Her spine is curved... to the left. About seventeen degrees.”“It sounds very serious.”“Maybe. Maybe not. She's only fourteen months old. Some correct themselves

CHAPTER 10

          Once again, they drew up at some traffic lights, a perplexing intersection on the western outskirts of the city. Phoenix finally took the right road and soon they were on the expressway south. Genie knew well the hotel and she had seen photos of the club where all the guests were invited to unwind after participating in the conference. It was the kind of location where her father loved spending time.          Under other circumstances, Genie would’ve been really looking forward to her stay there. The meals were sure to be exquisite and it would be wonderful to be pampered for a change. But she knew that it won’t be easy to relax while pretending to be something she wasn't and worrying all the time about when Phoenix might kiss her, or something equally hazardous.          It was one thing to hide this unwanted at
