Synopsis: He’ll make her an offer she can’t refuse…
Actress Tess McKenzie is performing in the Tenth Circle of Showbiz Hell—dinner theater. All she really wants is to start a theater of her own. Then Tess receives an offer she can’t refuse. She’ll get her funding…if she pretends to be the fiancée to her nemesis, Texan property tycoon Hunter Dade. If she’s going to pull this off, she’ll need all the luck she can get.Break a leg, indeed.
On the verge of a big business deal, Hunter needs to hire a fiancée. He hasn’t quite forgiven Tess for ruining his wedding, but when their chemistry goes from combative to straight-up lust, the “no sex” clause in their mutually beneficial arrangement is tested. Which is a serious problem, because if Tess isn’t careful, she’ll go from breaking a leg to breaking her heart…
Tess McKenzie is trying to make it on her
own. She wants to be a successful actress but she doesn’t want it to come on
her famous mother’s coattails.
Being on a dinner theater stage isn’t what
she imagined but it is a start for her and a way to pay the bills.
When she runs into a problem from her past,
she doesn’t know what to do. He offers her money to pretend to be his fiancé for
a weekend. Too bad she is the reason his first fiancé left him at the alter.
Hunter Dade has had to work hard for the
success in his life. He grew up in a trashy neighbor and always struggled to
become something.
When the successful tycoon’s fiancé pulls
out of the wedding, he is embarrassed but relieved at the same time. He thought
she would be the perfect wife but he wasn’t really in love with her. His heart
actually wanted the maid of honor; he just didn’t know it yet.
When Hunter runs into Tess at a dinner
theater, he can’t help the feelings that are stirred up inside him. He concocts
a plan to get back at her for ruining his wedding.
His plan back fires when they become
tangled in the sheets. Buried desire is released and the sparks fly.
I really enjoyed this book. It had a great
story line. I really liked the big, gorgeous Texan: he was alpha but so sweet
at the same time. I loved their constant bickering.
I am really interested to see whom book 2
is about.
