The
Weekend Proposition
Thanks so much for having me today. I’m
thrilled to share my newest release, The Weekend Proposition, with all of you.
Please check out the giveaway at the bottom of the post.
What
would you do?
Coda is down on her luck. Her mother is
ill and they’re struggling to pay the bills. They’re one non-rent payment away
from eviction. How will they survive?
Spencer is in need of a weekend date to
get his family and ex-girl friend off his back. His bachelorhood isn’t up for compromise.
He needs a plan.
When Coda is thrown into his path, he
sees away for both of them to benefit from his proposition. He needs to work
fast and convince her that a weekend with him is exactly what she needs. Good
thing he’s a great negotiator.
“I’m guessing you’re not here for the grilled cheese. What brings
you to Brooklyn?”
“I’ve never had grilled cheese before but maybe I’ll try it,
Dakota.” Obviously he had checked her file to use her given name.
“Everyone calls me Coda, Mr. Cannon.”
“Why don’t you call me Spencer?”
“Okay, Spencer, what
can I do for you?”
“A ‘to the point’ kind of girl. I like that.” The right side of his
lips rose slightly, creating a sexy, crooked smile. “I’m a businessman and I
need something.”
From me?
“I think you may benefit from my offer.” He continued to stare
directly into her eyes causing her to cower from the influence she found there.
She’d never backed away from a guy before but there was something different
about him.
“What makes you think that? You don’t know anything about me.”
“I overheard your conversation with your mother last night.” He
stopped for a second, but before she could open her mouth to protest, he
continued. “You were in my private kitchen. I did try to make my presence known
but you didn’t hear me.”
“How much did you hear?” She fidgeted with her hands, trying hard to
break the Italian habit of using them when she talked. She had a tendency to
get loud when she felt stressed. The conversation with her mother had caused
her some anxiety.
“Enough to know you’re in need of financial assistance.”
“I’ll figure it out. I always do.” She didn’t like discussing her
finances, or lack thereof, with a stranger. She didn’t care how rich and
good-looking he was. It was none of his business.
“I have a proposition for you.”
“A proposition?” What could he possibly have to offer her?
“I have to attend my cousin’s wedding this weekend. Actually, I have
to leave tomorrow afternoon. I don’t want to go alone for reasons I don’t wish
to discuss right now. I need someone to accompany me. I’m offering that to
you.”
“And
you think I’m ‘to the point’?”
Hmm… this could get interesting.

Blurb:
One weekend—no strings, no expectations, and
no commitments. On Sunday afternoon it all ends, or does it?
No-nonsense
businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He’s headed to Connecticut for the
weekend to attend his cousin’s elaborate wedding. His whole family will be
there in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer’s
brother, Ava has been telling her friends she’s planning a magical reunion with
her favorite ex-boyfriend. Spencer’s not in the mood to deal with her, but he
can’t miss the wedding. He needs a plan.
Struggling
Brooklyn waitress and aspiring graphic designer Dakota Vercelli has fallen on
hard times. College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a
toll on her. A chance encounter with Mr. Cannon, CEO of Cannon and Carrington
Advertising, leads to a proposition that may be just the thing to solve both of
their problems. Spencer’s offer—spend four days with him during the wedding
festivities and keep his ex off his trail. In return, he’ll compensate her
generously for her time. He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the
cash.
It was
just supposed to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under
the stars, and attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the
illusion end when the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning?
