Publisher's summary

When revenge turns into a fake engagement...

It was supposed to be a simple case of revenge: get to know King Tech owner and CEO Beckett King, learn his secrets, and ruin his life like he ruined my brother’s. But Beckett King offers me a deal I can't refuse.

Not only does he want me to pretend to be engaged to him, he needs to marry me to get his grandmother off his back. And at the end of the year, we can go our separate ways - only I’ll be a whole lot richer.

I won’t fall for his irresistible good looks, or that aw-shucks country boy charm he still possesses from growing up on a ranch. I'm smarter than that. He has a lesson to learn and I'm the best one to teach him.

But that’s the tricky thing with revenge. It doesn’t always go as planned.

King's Ransom is a stand-alone novel in the Oil Kings series written by an award-winning author.

Soooo slow

This was such a boring and slow story. I was more than halfway and nothing happened. The female reader didn’t help either. Her whispering style of reading made me want to quit. It was so annoying. Thank goodness that it was alternated reading between the H and h. Female character started strong, but became a doormat at the end. The H was no better. Why took him three months to apologize? Also, after all the tension, the ending was rushed. Seemed like the author ran out of ideas and ended the story ASAP. This was not worth the money. Four stars for overall bc of decent writing.
