Book Description:
Hotshot copywriter Gracie Taylor-Scott has a reputation—for her artfully edgy ads. A rising star at Darcy Wexler Dean, New York, the long hours are perfect cover for Gracie’s fear of intimacy issues.
Great job. Great pay. No life—including her on again off again sex life. Then one night, she is plunged into darkness with a handsome stranger.
Bradley Craig is the new head of DWD’s research division, and this ad man has secrets of his own. Much lauded in his field of consumer behavior, there’s a darker side to the attractive ad man—his erotic, list-maker side.
Gracie and Bradley are assigned to work on the biggest new business pitch Darcy Wexler Dean will be in all year, and the two tangle immediately, battling copy concepts and focus group findings along with their explosive attraction to each other.
Bradley has a proposition: they make a list. Ten erotic sexual encounters, no strings attached. What’s at stake? Two Super Bowl spots and two fragile hearts.
Excerpt:
“Close the door,
Gracie.”
I checked the
hallway through the floor-to-ceiling glass by the exit. No one was about.
Coworkers were in their offices, filling out time sheets, getting ready to call
it a day.
I shut the door
with a soft click.
“I believe
there’s a light switch on the wall.” He used a huskier voice, more like the
elevator Bradley.
I pressed the
controls, and the conference room dimmed enough not to be seen by passersby, as
long as we kept things quiet. Nose to the door, I stared at the smooth,
matte-black surface.
“I know things
got a little heated––” I stopped myself and cringed. Was I talking about last
night or the testy words between us several minutes ago? And since when weren’t
things heated between us? I sucked in a calming breath and exhaled silently.
It occurred to
me, this attraction to Bradley might well be the hottest, most erotic
experience of my life. I pivoted away from the door to face him.
“Sorry I can’t
be more enthusiastic about creative testing, it’s just that I’ve been screwed
by research in the past, and not in a good way.”
Bradley flopped
down on the sofa and raked me over with his gaze. He patted the seat next to
him. “You and I need to build some trust.”
I approached
slowly. “Have you any idea how many focus groups I’ve sat through where
smirking research geeks underlined every word or phrase that didn’t test high
enough—some of them the best words and phrases I’ve ever written in my life?”
I dropped my bag
on the floor for emphasis. “Just once, I’d like to believe research has my
back.”
He clasped my
wrist and tugged. “Since we’re going to be working closely together…” He pulled
me lower.
I settled a knee
to each side of his thighs and straddled him. It was about time I climbed on
the man. “How close?”
“Intimate
close.” He easily worked through the buttons of my pants.
“You’re staring
at my belly button.”
“You have a
piercing.” His gaze turned darker, hungrier—as if I were a mocha chocolate
truffle and he had a craving for Godiva.
