HIRING CUPID by JANE BECKENHAM
di elisarolle
Successful
businesswoman, Carly Mason, is invited by her friends to join them on a tropical
island along with her gorgeous, hot, and very sexy boyfriend. So what’s the
problem? There is no boyfriend. One night when she was out with the girls and
temporarily insane, Carly made him up. Then, just as all-work-and-no-play Carly
is about to admit to the charade and decline the invitation, fate delivers her a
knight in shining armor—Marco Valente.
So what if Marco is wearing leathers and riding a hog? A little coaching, a
change in wardrobe, and the tall charismatic Italian would exactly fit Carly’s
description of her fictional Mr. Perfect. Before she can stop herself, Carly
makes a daring proposal. Who needs cupid? Carly takes it upon herself to hire
Marco Valente to spend four long days…and nights with her!
When Marco and Carly arrive on the island they discover her friends won’t be
joining them. Now that they’re alone with no need to continue the ruse, the
unlikely pair take advantage of paradise. As the nights heat up and their
relationship blossoms, Carly finds herself unable to resist Marco’s charms and
gives in to passion—a real passion that seems every bit as perfect as the
fantasy. But then the helicopter returns, and Carly and Marco resume their lives.
Will their newly discovered feelings survive? Only if they can cast aside their
past fears, take some honest risks, and put one another first.
