Contemprary Romance

 The Business Engagement

As a former Harlequin author, Kasi Blake knows romance. She has always added at least some to her books, even to her YA Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Mysteries, from forbidden love to love that was meant to be. Now, she has published her first Contemporary Romance. If you enjoy a little steam in your romance, you will not want to miss The Business Engagement. 



Blurb: One fake engagement can save two reputations... if they can keep their hands off each other. 

When claustrophobic Anna gets trapped in an elevator with hunky Skylar, the last thing she expects is to exit an engaged woman. But Skylar insists tongues will stop wagging when people realize she is marrying him and not sleeping with her boss.

Skylar’s father (her boss) invites her to spend Thanksgiving weekend with his entire family in Vermont, and he won’t take no for an answer. She has no clue how she will get through four days under the same roof with the sexy, arrogant Skylar. Then she discovers they expect her to share a room with her fiancé. Now what?

With her job on the line, will she also be willing to risk her heart?

Pre-order Special .99 cents. Limited Time. Price goes up to $3.99 after the release date.

Excerpt:

The door shut before she could get her bearings, and the elevator began to descend. That was when she noticed the other occupant, the last person she wanted to be trapped in an elevator with: Griffin’s son.

Skylar gave her the expected customary nod to acknowledge her existence.

Pursing her lips together, she returned the gesture. She didn’t see any reason to pretend they liked each other. Three years ago when she’d joined the firm he had almost destroyed her career within a week. Stubborn and bad-tempered, Skylar had treated her like his personal gopher rather than a colleague with a law degree. Things only got worse when his father put them on the same trial. She’d been second chair, of course, but Skylar wouldn’t listen to a word she said. Every time she opened her mouth he cut her off. Then while she was considering going to his father about the situation, Skylar complained to the man about her. He had almost gotten her fired. She’d been pulled off the trial and put on a case that a monkey could have won.

Since then she’d avoided him like her life depended on it.

She had a second reason to steer clear of him as well, an embarrassing reason. She hated to admit it even to herself, but Skylar Griffin oozed sex appeal. Her skin heated and her lower region pulsated every time she looked at him. Stylishly cropped hair the color of warm sand and eyes crystal blue like the Caribbean Sea reminded her of a much-needed tropical vacation. He worked as hard as she did and always seemed to be in his office. Yet, the deceitful golden brown skin would convince anyone he spent his days on the beach instead of sitting behind a desk. Not to mention, he had a surfer’s body with lean muscle and natural agility.
