Nikki_Kate's Reviews > Grant: One Night with a Billionaire

** spoiler alert ** Wonderful!! This was a nice quick, short read.

Grant and Eliza meet in high school and dated, until graduation. He left and didn’t look back. He thought he need more to prove himself. Twelve years later he’s back in Broken Bend Texas for Mama Mae’s retirement. Eliza never let Broken Bend, she is now going to take over for Mama Mae’s Pups for Progress. As assistant director she is overseeing all the activities. Grant’s brother Owen picked him up from the airport and tells him he’s in the bachelor auction. When he walks into the gym she can’t believe he’s back. She leaves the gym and he follows her. She tells him to go away and he tells her they need to talk. He tells her he owes her an explanation. He wants to meet for coffee but she tells him she doesn’t want his explanation anymore. When Grant takes the stage as the next bachelor, something comes over her and she bids five thousand dollars on him. No one outbids her. When she meets him backstage she tells him she doesn’t want the date she just wants him to tell her why he left, why he never reached out, why he never came back. He asks her if they can go someplace and talk. She tells him to meet her when everything is done. They head to their spot and head to the river. He tells her he owes her an apology. It was her dream to go to UT. He wanted more, she asks him why he didn’t tell her. There was a darkness inside of him. He had to go to NY to find his dad and ruin him. He found him and tore him apart but that wasn’t enough. He grabbed her and kissed her. He started to realize a peace he hadn’t felt in twelve years he should have never left her go. She tells him she’s thought about him everyday she tried to forget and move on. She tells him she should hate him but she doesn’t she loves him. He tells her he’d do anything to have her back. They begin to kiss and strip each other clothes. She tells him she wants him now and doesn’t want to wait. He pulls her on to his lap and she lowers herself onto him. They both come, their release crashing into them. He tells her he loves her he always loved her. She drops him off at Mama Mae’s and agree to meet up later. He tells her to go and and get some sleep. She wakes to a text message from him he needed to go back to NY he’ll call when he can. She can’t believe he once again left her. He tries to call her for two days, sends her flowers and send cards. He figured out a way to work remotely. Then heads back to Broken Bend. He arrives at her home and knocks. She tells him to go away. He tells her he can explain but she tells him she’s tired of his explanation. He tells her he walked away from his business he’s selling his penthouse. She unlocks the door and lets him in. He follows her to the kitchen. He sees her eyes are red. He explains why he had to go back, then gets down on one knee and asks her to marry him. She asks him if he’s crazy and he tells her about her. She tells him to prove it. She tells him to spend a year providing it and ask her again in a year. One year later he shows up for their one year anniversary date. He takes her back to the river. He pulls out the blue ring box and hands it to her. She opens it and finds a key. He tells her he bought the riverfront and the twenty acres around it. It's were he want to build their home. He tells her there is something else in the box. He goes down on one knee and asks her to marry him. She tells him hell yes.
