The scent on the breeze is one of tropical flowers. Light, soapy, lending a sense of magic and anticipation to the air. The music flowing through the trees is smooth, each ivory pressed note calling out like an invitation to step into its inner folds. To where love and family connect.  \nA wedding.  \nI maintain my distance.  \nBut I keep watching.  \nThe bride walks through the trees, dressed in a silver-hued gown, her bouquet glittering in a way flowers wouldn’t, like it’s made from jewels instead.  \nHer gaze slides from the older man accompanying her and lands straight on mine. She falters while I stare back. Desperate and greedy. A hungry dog starving for scraps.  \nI f","cbCaifL1oMIUxcHK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifL1oMIUxcHK","pdf",1815716,339,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n# Prologue\n## Three Years Earlier\n## Present Day\n## One Month Later\n# Epilogue – Three years later\n# Also by Elle Nicoll\n# Acknowledgments\n# About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What is The Risk Taker primarily about?\",\"answer\":\"It centers on a forced-proximity billionaire romance linked to the Beaufort Billionaires family backstory and pivotal revelations.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the story structured time-wise?\",\"answer\":\"The contents indicate shifts between an earlier period (“Three Years Earlier”), the present (“Present Day”), and “One Month Later,” followed by an epilogue “Three years later.”\"},{\"question\":\"Should readers start with an earlier book in the series?\",\"answer\":\"The foreword recommends beginning with The Matchmaker (Book 1 of Beaufort Billionaires) because the family backstory unfolds across the series.\"}]",1785401940,522,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"the-risk-taker-forced-proximity-billionaire-romance-beaufort-billionaires-book-4-elle-nicoll","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-risk-taker-forced-proximity-billionaire-romance-beaufort-billionaires-book-4-elle-nicoll/114653/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-30",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What is The Risk Taker primarily about?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"It centers on a forced-proximity billionaire romance linked to the Beaufort Billionaires family backstory and pivotal revelations.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"How is the story structured time-wise?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"The contents indicate shifts between an earlier period (“Three Years Earlier”), the present (“Present Day”), and “One Month Later,” followed by an epilogue “Three years later.”",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"Should readers start with an earlier book in the series?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"The foreword recommends beginning with The Matchmaker (Book 1 of Beaufort Billionaires) because the family backstory unfolds across the series.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
