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.

The First book by Leatha (the lighter side of Aleatha Romig) in a genre that is completely different from her usual writing. I must admit I was greedy for this book.
I
did love this new lighter side of Aleatha and the fact that she would break out
of her usual writing to write something so light.
I
must admit that it did take me a wee while to get into this book, longer than I
do her dark writing; I think this was because at the start there were some
similarities to another book I had read, however, saying that did not dispel me
from reading.
I
love Aleatha’s writing and that will never change and once I got into this
story I found the complexities very appealing, the apprehension was palatable and
you could feel how Kimber (the heroine) was feeling and I fell in love with the
characters. I would have liked the
ending to go on a bit further and expand a bit more but was happy in the way it
all worked out.
You have Kimbra
Jones who is in HR for a pharmaceutical logistics company in New York City, she
is good at her job and loves it, this is her dream job, however, she has a
wedding to attend and no date to take.
Kimbra has not informed her family that she would be going solo. Kimbra
needs to come up with an excuse or an alternative to her former cheating
boyfriend.
The opportunity arises when
she catches her boss and owner in a compromising position with another member
of staff, unknown to Kimbra though, her boss Duncan has a sweet spot for the
lovely Kimbra and although she feels she is duping him into being her Plus One,
he is going into this willingly.
The antics, laughter, and
general fun this book has and what Leatha comes up with once these two are
together is comical and exceptional writing.
I would strongly suggest reading this book for yourselves, there is just
something so light about it that makes you smile.
