Blurb
Revenge is a dish best served cold... while wearing heels.
April has just
learned the real reason behind her boss’ impromptu dinner invitation. He only
invited her to dinner with his colleagues to prove a point: that he can show up
at an event with a plain Jane and still be considered ‘the man’. She expected
better from him and had secretly hoped that one day their friendship would grow
into something deeper.
But her two
best friends won’t let her wallow in her pain. They convince her to give Dr.
Stewart a dose of his own medicine. The plan: show up at the dinner looking
irresistible and prove to her boss that even nerd girls can be sexy. But first,
she has to replace her unattractive business suits with something sexier and
more revealing. It’s time for a makeover.
Dr. Chad
Stewart would never ‘really’ date his secretary. She was too good, to pure for
someone as jaded as himself. It didn’t matter that he was half in love with
her. But when he needed an ‘average date’ for a dinner party she was the first
person he turned to. He thought his secretary was the perfect choice until he
arrived to find her looking like his wildest fantasy. But now she knows the
real reason for his invite and he can see in her eyes how hurt she is.
Can Chad convince her to forgive him for hurting her or will she walk out of his life... taking his heart with her?
Excerpt
“That’s right. Your plan was to use me to advance yourself.”
“That was my plan. I admit it. I was wrong. What can I
do to make you forgive me?”
He sounded sincere. The fact that his eyes seemed to
be watering as he stared at her longingly confirmed the sincerity she heard in
his voice. But she wouldn’t fall for it. She wouldn’t let him in, only to be
hurt by him again in the future.
“There is nothing I want from you. There is nothing I
want you to do other than to take me home, right now.” Those blasted tears were
threatening to fall again. “Please just take me home.” Her voice broke on the
last word. Chad held his hands up, surrendering to her demand.
“If you really want to go home, I will take you home.
Just please answer one question for me?’
She didn’t want to answer any questions, but if it
would get her home sooner she would.
“What is the question?”
“When I touch you, do you feel anything?”
Where had
that question come from?
“Um…”
“I’m not finished. When we sip coffee together each
morning, do you ever get the feeling that maybe we’re meant to be together? I
know it sounds crazy, but even tonight, with everything that is going on, does
a part of you feel the need to hold me and never let me go?”
Yes, yes, yes, that was exactly how she felt. How did
he know? A sob escaped her lips. She put her hands over her face. She didn’t
want to look at him. She didn’t want to hope that maybe he really felt those
things he’d just said. Hope led to disappointment and she’d had enough
disappointment in her life already. She couldn’t risk placing her hope in Chad.
He’d already let her down once.
The sound of gravel crunching let her know he was
taking a step closer to her. She took a step back, suddenly very aware of his
presence. Sobbing into her hands, afraid to look up, she continued to walk
backward and he continued to follow her.
Her back connected with something hard. She leaned
back and felt the rough touch of tree bark against her exposed shoulders. Chad
wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her forward. His hand settled at
the small of her back. He used his other hand to massage her shoulders. The
feel of his hands on her bare skin made her tremble. Why did she want him so
much?
"I messed up, April. If you give me another chance, I promise never to do anything like this again. Forgive me, please."
