Justine Montgomery, daughter of a divorced beauty queen and
TV magnate, is a tabloid disaster after her infamous sex tape. She’s so
desperate to help save her family’s home she turns to her deal-making dad. Can
she prove to him she’s cut out for a career in television or will she lose it
all?
Sawyer has his own past and a successful career is his only
goal. Seeing Justine fail would mean the promotion of a lifetime, but things
get complicated when he develops feelings for her. Suddenly, the lines between
work, life, sex, and love are blurry.
They will have to overcome the bitterness of a rejected ex,
the controlling actions of her father, and the half-truths they’re telling one
another to forge a lasting partnership both on the job and off the clock.
Excerpt
She tangled her fingers through the hair that covered her
face and pushed it away. Next thing he knew, she’d wrapped her arms around his
waist.
“Justine? Um… what are you doing?”
“I’m hugging you. Taking emotional comfort.”
“Like a leech.”
“Haven’t you ever hugged before?”
“I’ve never hugged anyone I wasn’t going to have sex with.”
“We’re not having sex.” She squeezed him tighter and rested
her head on his shoulder. “Hug me back.”
Sawyer lifted his arms and wrapped them around her, his
hands cupping her shoulders, pulling her closer. He dropped his head to rest on
hers, and parts of him, so deep he couldn’t name them, pulled free and demanded
his attention. Her hair smelled like fruit, the kind kids eat in the summer,
juice dripping down their chins. “I’m fine with the hugging, but, just saying,
I’m not responsible for any physical reaction hugging may induce.”
“Okay.” The word drifted out of her on a sigh.
He wasn’t equipped for this. There hadn’t been a lot of
touching growing up, at least not the kind that didn’t end in a busted lip or a
cracked rib. As an adult, there’d been lots of touching. But, not like this.
The tighter he held her, the closer he wanted to be.
