EXCERPT  

Walking at a fast pace to the five-story restaurant, my beige stiletto gets stuck in a crack of the stone walkway. Out of nowhere, strong hands grab my elbow as I start to fall forward towards the ground. My eyes slowly drift upward from a pair of black dress shoes, briefly taking in his tall, athletic build that his gray dress pants can't conceal. Then my eyes wander over his broad chest that looks hot as hell in a form-fitting black shirt.

"Miss, are you okay?"

When my eyes reach his face, I'm stunned to be looking into some gorgeous man's blue eyes that are the lightest color I've ever seen. Except … something's familiar.

"Um … what?" I say as I remember to breathe.

"Are you okay?" He raises his right eyebrow as he questions me.

"Yes, yes, I am. Thanks for helping me avoid an embarrassing accident."

He cocks his head to the side and his eyes roam over me. "We wouldn't want you to hurt that beautiful body of yours." Smiling, he begins to walk away, but stops and turns around. "I know this is going to sound like a pick-up line, but do I know you?"

"You're right. It does sound like a pick-up line. Are you flirting with me?"

"I swear I'm not."

"Geez, I don't know if I should feel insulted or happy."

"No, you've got it wrong. You are gorgeous, but I really wasn't trying to pick you up. Are you from around here?"

"For the most part. I lived in Florida as a child."

"Really, what part?"

"Tampa." A part of my life I will always remember, but want to forget.

"Tampa. Hmm. I lived there as well. You have gorgeous green eyes," he says while scanning my body from head to toe. "May I know your name?"

This is definitely flirting. "Ivy."

His eyes widen just for a second. If I wasn't paying attention to his handsome face, I would have missed it. "Ivy, do you have a last name?"

"It's Montgomery."

"Nice to meet you, Ivy Montgomery." His smile is contagious. And then he walks in the entrance of the restaurant.

It takes me a moment to realize I'm standing on the sidewalk, staring after him, wearing a smile.

REVIEW:
*****5 STARS*****

Ivory Montgomery doesn’t believe in love; she saw how the man who loved her mother treated her, and doesn’t want anything to do with marriage.

When Ivy needed to escape from her drunken father, she would sneak next door to Jackson’s house. He was her best friend.

When her and her mother moved across the country, her and Jackson lost contact.

Many years later she is sitting across from him as his “Companion”. Ivy works for an agency that matches up single women with men looking for company.

Jackson is now a successful resort CEO. He works hard everyday. When he needs a date for an awards banquet, he enlists the services of a companion company, VIP.

He can’t believe his eyes when the beautiful woman across from him is his long lost best friend Ivy.

He knows all about her past and he is going to show her that she is not broken like she thinks.

I loved this short story. It was sexy and sweet! I hope Jax stays the same alpha male sweet heart in the next book.

I absolutely recommend this book and cannot wait for book 2!
