What’s a man to do when the one who got away comes roaring back into his life, and asks for a little help in the bedroom?





Say Hell, Yeah!

Of course.





But if she happens to be my business partner’s daughter? And she’ll be working in our practice, where we’ll be rubbing elbows every day? Also, have I mentioned she’s

as dynamic, brilliant, and captivatingly sexy as ever?





A smart man would say no.

A wise man would say no, hell no, and never.

And I’m a pretty smart guy.





But see, Sloane has issued a hell of a challenge—make her purr like no man has ever done before, and if there’s one thing I know I can do, it’s make a woman feel oh-so-good in the sheets.





The lady knows where she wants to go. What’s the harm in a few nights…and then a few more…spent taking her there? And the more I discover what brings Sloane satisfaction, the more I want to discover every little thing about her.





The trouble is Sloane might be my dream girl, but my professional dreams are tied to my partnership with her father.





Am I too far gone to resist the woman who got away?





What’s next?





Want a sneak peek at what’s next? My standalone romantic comedy THE DATING PROPOSAL is releasing soon, and I’m so excited to share a sneak peek with you!! It will be a live release in Kindle Unlimited on May 6!But first, let me tell you a little about THE DATING PROPOSAL.





One woman on a dating quest. One man in need of a relationship guru. One wild proposal neither can resist.



Watch out world -- I’m ready to date again.

The seven years I invested in my ex left me with nothing but scorch marks from the way he peeled out and left me at the altar. I’m not looking to put my heart into a relationship any time soon.

What I am looking for? To have some freaking fun. My best friends can’t wait to set me up with suitable single guys, and soon I’ve got three promising prospects. Then I bump into Chris….

Clever and funny, with a sexy surfer’s bod and a brilliant nerd brain, he has just the right screwdriver to fix my hard drive. (Yes, the one for my computer.)

I wouldn’t mind dating him. The trouble is he just proposed to me—to be the new dating guru on his TV show—and I said yes.

***

Don't get your honey where you get your money.

I’d make a sign or put that mantra on a tattoo, except I’m not likely to forget it, given that the last time I mixed business with pleasure, it almost tanked my career. Now? I play by the book.

That hasn’t been a problem until McKenna. She’s engaging and fun, quick with a snapback or a sensitive, sensible reply—perfect for my TV show. Too bad she’s also perfectly kissable.

But I lock my feelings down. We’ve both worked too hard on our careers to let our connection go further than some sexy banter…and, okay, one impulsive, fantastic kiss—no matter how much our boss, our fans, and our friends propose we make our on-screen chemistry an off-screen romance.



What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time?



Note: Back in the day, I wrote a book called TROPHY HUSBAND, and though it’s no longer available for sale, the characters of Chris and McKenna seemed to demand another chance in the spotlight. THE DATING PROPOSAL is a complete reimagining of their romance, with 85 percent brand-new material, a fresh plot, and vastly expanded characterizations so you can come to know and love Chris and McKenna like I do. Enjoy!



Chris…

I’m not checking out her body.

I’m not staring at her face. I’m focused on the task at hand. Thank God I have one, because otherwise, I’d be staring at those eyes. They’re blue with gold flecks, making them look almost hazel at times. She has all sorts of colors working in her irises, and the net effect is totally captivating.

So is her lush mouth.

She’s running it while I carefully screw the case back together. It’s painstaking work since it’s tiny and the screwdrivers are the size of nails.

“I tried to fix my shower once,” McKenna says, wrapping her slender hands around a cup of coffee. Yes, even her hands are hot. Lord help me.

“Yeah?” I glance at her hands then back at the hard drive. “How’d it go?”

“Well, if you consider scars a good thing, it went well.”

I look up. “Scars can be cool. I trust it went exceedingly well?”

She lifts her chin and shows me a thin white scar on the right side of her jaw. “Then I did a fabulous job ‘fixing’ the shower.” She sketches air quotes.
