Plus One by Aleatha Romig
Release Day: May 16th
A fun, sexy new stand-alone from New York
Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
He's sexy
and confident, the kind of man every woman notices. You know, the one with the
to-die-for body and panty-melting smirk. And then there's the way his designer
suits drape over his broad shoulders and big...well, we've all heard the
rumors, the ones that say he's up for any challenge.
But I can't
see him that way. He's my boss—technically one of the owners of the company
where I work—and definitely not in my league. Men like him don't notice women
like me, and they don't date them. And I don't
date men like him.
Until that
one time that I catch him in a compromising position when I'm also in need of a
last-minute date for a wedding...and then it's not real. It's blackmail.
For one
weekend, he's my plus-one. Beautiful and unobtainable.
From the
moment she walked into my office with those stunning blue eyes and crazy
sensual curves, she's been on my mind. Three years and never once has she acted
interested in me. Usually I flash a million-dollar smile and women fall to
their knees, some literally.
Not her.
Then on the
occasion that I agree to let another woman do that—fall to her knees—guess who
happens to catch us? It may not
be the most conventional way to get on her radar, but I didn't get this far in
business without knowing when to seize an opportunity. If this sexy little
firecracker with perfectly kissable lips thinks she can blackmail me into
attending her cousin's wedding, I'm going to jump at the chance to be her
plus-one.
You love her darker side. Now it's time to
meet Leatha, the lighter side of Aleatha, as she trades her renowned twists and
turns for laughs and love with this sexy new stand-alone romance, PLUS ONE.
Except:
Chapter 1
I push the thought of my mother's call away and
concentrate on my friend, Shana. As I do, the slippery napkin escapes my hold.
Quickly, I slide from my seat to retrieve it.
"Excuse me," a deep voice says as
black leather loafers stop precariously close to where I'm now kneeling to
rescue my napkin.
Seeing the shoes, I look up and suck in a deep
breath.
Towering above me are long legs covered in
tailored trousers. As I follow them up, they lead to a trim waist, a black
belt, and a white shirt that buttons over a broad chest. I barely swallow the
lump in my throat as I recognize the wide shoulders covered with the matching
suit jacket. Seizing the napkin, I stand, suddenly face to face with one of the
owners of the company where I work.
My face burns with embarrassment as his
shimmering green eyes narrow and head tilts. Inches away from me is one of the
handsomest men I've ever met. He should be on the cover of GQ, not gracing the
halls of Buchanan and Willis.
His firm lips form a tight smirk and cheeks
rise in amusement. "Miss Jones."
Staring into the sea of emerald, I try to
pretend I wasn't just on my knees in a chic restaurant in front of Duncan
Willis.
"Mr. Willis," I respond, my voice
cracking. Nervously I take a step backward. As if the moment weren't awkward
enough, I wobble, teetering precariously on my high heels.
Swiftly, he reaches out, grabs my elbow, and
steadies my footing. Though he just saved me from making an even bigger fool
out of myself by falling face-first into what I can only imagine is a hard,
defined chest, my mind is suddenly consumed with the electricity of his touch.
The energy heats my skin as his grasp lingers.
