*****THIS BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE*****

Being the daughter of a big-city mayor, twenty-one year old Skye Summers has giant shoes to fill in her first real job out of college. With the public spotlight on her family, and her dad’s expectations running high, she jumps at the chance to work side-by-side on an important project with her sexy new boss.

Playboy entrepreneur Landon Steele has built a successful entertainment PR firm and broken more than a few hearts along the way. He’s counting on his enthusiastic new assistant to help him expand his business into LA… until he discovers she’s a pampered rich girl who’s in the public spotlight as much as his famous clients. Still, he agrees to give her a chance, and soon the two are heating up the bedroom as well as the boardroom.

But when Skye’s ex-boyfriend threatens to reveal a dangerous secret from her past, her job, relationship with Landon, and her father’s career are suddenly all on the line. Will she be forced to leave Landon? Or will she pursue her heart, regardless of the cost?

excerpt

Landon’s POV

It was an unseasonably warm day for December in L.A. so the pool deck was busy. I was relaxing on the chaise inside the cabana after giving my drink order to the waiter when I saw Skye making her way across the pool deck. She had on a pair of sunglasses and a floral cover-up with long, billowing sleeves. When she reached the cabana, she smiled wide and dropped her beach bag onto the coffee table in the center.

“The waiter just left. I didn’t order for you because I wasn’t sure what you’d want,” I said.

“I think I’m going to take a dip in the pool. Do you mind ordering me an iced tea when the waiter comes back?”

“Sure thing.”

She slid off her sandals and then proceeded to pull her cover-up off over her head.

I was in trouble.

I was in so much fucking trouble if I thought there was any way I might get through this trip sleeping only a few rooms away from her when she looked like that.

Her swimsuit was a gold one-piece that had a slit all the way down to her belly button and a belt around the waist. I’d been imagining what she’d look like completely naked since I’d first seen her. This swimsuit was giving me a pretty good idea, but apparently my imagination hadn’t been doing her justice.

She smiled at me before heading over to the pool and diving in. It was clear she had no idea the effect seeing her in that tiny bit of fabric had on me. That or she hid it well. Now I’d be trying to hide the wood I’d no doubt be sporting all afternoon.

The waiter returned and I ordered Skye’s drink. A few minutes later, he dropped it off just as Skye was returning to the cabana. He did a double-take as she came up behind him. I couldn’t blame him but it still fueled my competitive nature, seeing another man appreciate her rocking body. Even if she wasn’t mine.

I tipped him a couple of dollars and said, “We’re good for a while. Thanks.” Skye smiled her megawatt, draw-every-man-to-her-within-twenty-feet smile as he passed by her to leave. Fuck me, but I loved that smile. “How was the water?” I asked.

She grabbed a towel off one of the tables and began to dry herself off. “Warmer than I thought it’d be. We got lucky it’s such a nice day out today.”

“The warmers help, too,” I said, motioning to the heater in the roof of the cabana.

“There is that.” She laughed, her entire face lighting up.

She really was breathtaking…and pure…full of light. When I was with her, I forgot about the pressures of growing my business and my strained relationship with my father—everything else just faded into the background and I was just here with her…in the present. And none of the other shit mattered.

When she was done rubbing that damn towel over every inch of her porcelain skin, she came to sit beside me on the couch and grabbed her drink off the table. I watched as she took the straw between her lips. This had to be some form of foreplay torture. First the swimsuit, then rubbing herself down, and now this? As she sucked the liquid down, I began to get hard just thinking about what those lips would look like wrapped around the end of my cock.

I couldn’t watch her a second longer. I pulled the drink away from her mouth and she gave me a quizzical look. “We need to talk.”

All publicity is good publicity, right? Unless you’re recent college grad Ellie Wagner and an embarrassing video of you and your boyfriend goes viral. Every man in your life abandons you, but who knew a one-minute clip of your latest doomed relationship would brand you a slut, prevent you from getting your perfect job, and force you to keep doing the one thing you swore you’d never do again…live with your mother.

But staying with mom and her latest boy-toy (is this husband number four or five?) until your life turns around might not be all bad. Especially when you fall – literally – at the feet of a sexy, green-eyed stranger who offers you freedom and a life of luxury on a gold-rimmed platter.

There’s only one little problem – the man of your dreams is none other than Mason Nash, the latest hip-hop star busting up the music  charts. Fame and fortune are his calling cards and he’s vying to steal the show on a new reality TV series that will catapult him into mainstream stardom. Hello spotlight.

The man behind the famous persona is perfect for Ellie in every way, but can she overcome the ugly pitfalls that come with Mason’s celebrity status? Or will she be forced to choose between the man she loves and the independent life she longs for? After all, fame and fortune aren’t always what they seem and not all publicity is good publicity…

Pros & Cons of Dating a Celebrity

I’m certainly no expert but like any girl I spent much of my pre-teen and teenager years day dreaming about dating whatever piece of celebrity man candy was big at the time. Back then it seemed like dating someone rich and famous would be one of the best things that could ever happen to a girl. Now that I’m older I’ve realized that it probably wouldn’t always be what it was cracked up to be.

As I see it, here are some of the pros & cons to dating a celebrity:

Pros

  • There’s a good chance you are going to get to meet other celebrities, which could be a lot of fun! Who wouldn’t want to go to a party and hang out with Leonardo Dicaprio or Taylor Swift?
  • You’re probably going to have access to a lot of places you wouldn’t have otherwise: backstage at concerts, on set at movie studios, invites to private parties, side stage at fashion shows, tickets to award shows. These are likely once in a lifetime opportunities so it’d be a blast to get to do them.
  • Well, if he’s a celebrity he’s probably rich so you’ll likely get some awesome dates and phenomenal presents

Cons

  • If it were me I’d always be worried that the person I was dating would think I was only doing it because they were a celebrity. I think I might be constantly trying to prove that I wasn’t, even if they weren’t questioning me.
  • It’d be hard to be with someone that other people were always pursuing. There’s a good chance this guy is going to be surrounded by other female celebrities, models and fans. You have to be a pretty confident woman to not ever succumb to jealousy under those circumstances.
  • Very often celebrities have to travel a lot. This makes it hard to see each other on a regular basis and build a relationship. Many celebrity couples have broken up as a result.
  • One word: Paparazzi. Not only would it be a major pain to be followed around by them but you’d inevitably end up in a magazine whether you want to or not. Best case scenario you didn’t just roll out of bed without any make-up.

All in all I’m not sure I’d ever really want to date a celebrity. For me I’m not sure the pros outweigh the cons. What about you? Would you like to date someone that spends their life in the limelight?

What do you think about dating a celebrity? Personally, I’d like to give it a try just once. (I’m talking to YOU, Joseph-Gordon Levitt!)
