Publisher Description
From USA Today bestselling author Karen Erickson comes the first sexy stand-alone novel in her WORTH IT series!
All’s fair in love and business…
Alexander Worth has two great passions—his family business, and his control. Being president and CEO of Worth Luxury Goods allows him to exercise both. No one crosses him.
But then Tessa Crawford crosses his path. She’s professional, shy, voluptuous—and his employee. His legendary control is all that’s holding him back from his desire for her. Risking the business is the one thing he can’t do.
After rising above her disadvantaged childhood, Tessa knows the last thing she should do is risk throwing it all away by falling into bed with her sexy boss. But on an extended European business trip, all self-imposed barriers burn away in the heat of their sizzling chemistry.
That’s not the only fire burning when they return home—whispers of corporate espionage have become a full-blown scandal. Alex’s loyalties lie with his company, and Tessa is left to smolder alone. She’s determined to move on, to get over her fling—
Only she’s carrying a souvenir in her belly.
** Worth The Scandal was originally published by Samhain Publishing. This edition is a reissue, reedited but without any changes to the story.**

Couldn’t do it
Got steadily worse.
Not Empowering to Women
I read this book from start to finish, hoping that the male lead would become less of a jerk, but I was thoroughly disappointed. The judgmental thought process of a woman never ceased, and talking about how she’d gained weight “but the little issues didn’t matter”, as if gaining weight after pregnancy is an issue men just have to deal with completely put me off. It has its sweet moments, hence the two stars, but overall the tone seems to imply that women should revolve their lives around pleasing the unrealistic expectations of a judgmental man. And the fact that the female character hardly stood up for herself was also very disappointing. I was not convinced of their “love” at all.
