BLURB:
El is a beautiful, successful, plus sized woman suffering from a
debilitating humiliation that has left her hating all handsome, wealthy men
exactly like Stefan Le Beau. Unfortunately for Le Beau, she’s known him since
she was sixteen and was totally snubbed by him. To her, he’s a hound dog and a
man-whore.
Stefan is a playboy
to the extreme with one hard and fast rule: date a woman only once, take her to
bed, and be gone before morning.
Until El.
Stefan’s dream of
finding his mate comes true when he bids two hundred thousand dollars to win a
date with El at Simon’s charity ball. Money well spent in his opinion.
Now, if she would
only talk to him. Or look at him. Or touch him, or…like him.
Can Stefan convince
El he's a reformed man?
Can El learn to
trust a man who is the epitome of what she avoids and could shatter her heart?
It will require drastic, strategic measures from the
entire family to make this mating happen.
EXCERPT:
Forty–five
minutes later, the auction was finally over. She could finally go home. Her
feet were swollen and something was doing a tap dance on the inside of her
skull. The Tylenol she had taken fifteen minutes ago hadn’t kicked in yet.
She
considered her options as she rubbed the edge of her sole, should I chance taking these shoes off?
Crap, I might not get them back on. Then what? Go bare foot in this gown?
That
wouldn’t be embarrassing, not at all.
El
stood and limped to the door leading to the ballroom. She groaned as she looked
at the crowd she would have to walk through to get to her truck.
This was going to be two hundred thousand times
worse than a walk of shame.
She
giggled at her bad joke. Yeah, she was losing it.
“What’s
so funny?”
The
deep timber of his drawl had no business sending her pulse racing. She waited
for a panic attack to kick in, but her body remained calm.
“Nothing.”
She squared off with Stefan. “Were you dropped on your head as a child?”
The
smell of fresh leather surrounded her. She took a deep breath wondering once
again where it was coming from.
He
frowned. “No.”
She
cocked her head and arched a brow at him.
“Is
there a history of insanity in your family?”
“No.”
He scowled. “What are you getting at?”
“No one
in his right mind would bid two hundred thousand dollars. That leaves one
conclusion, you’re insane.”
“Oh,
I’m insane all right. Insane for you.”
“Right.
Go fishing with those lines somewhere else, this woman isn’t biting.”
“Oh,
cher,” he laid his hand across his heart, “you wound me.”
“Shut
up, Le Beau.” She tried to push past him but he didn’t budge. “Please move out
of the way.”
From the ballroom, the band began to play a
romantic waltz. Her father’s favorite song–the one he always insisted she dance
with him to. How odd.
He
presented his hand to her. “I do believe they’re playing our song.”
She
looked at his hand suspiciously. “What are you doing now?”
“I’m
asking the single woman I won at the auction to dance. That is my right as the
winner.” He grinned.
She
stepped back and crossed her arms. “You’re kidding, right?”
“I’ve
never been more serious, I assure you. Now, may I have this dance?” His hand
remained extended as he waited for her response.
She
eyed the hand like it might bite. “Fine. I suppose I have to.”
Stefan led her to the dance
floor and took her into his arms. She was perfect. His wolf howled in triumph.
Now if he could only get her to actually like him.
