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.
Pre-Order Now
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.
