Description
Trying to get his bearings on an unfamiliar street and not
paying attention, Jeremy slams his breaks to avoid hitting the most beautiful
bride he has ever seen. When Danielle climbs in his truck, he assumes she’s in
a hurry to get to her wedding; he didn’t realize she was escaping one. He
agrees to let her return to his apartment so she can call for help, only she
refuses to leave.
As the days pass, Jeremy finds it harder to fight off her
passes and claims of falling in love with him. Besides having almost ten years
on her, Jeremy discovers the family secret she had been trying to hide. How
could the daughter of a billionaire settle for a plumber living paycheck to
paycheck?
Despite every tactic her father throws at her and an
ex-fiancé who refuses to let her go, Dani stakes her claim to the only thing
she has ever truly wanted in her life and fights to make Jeremy hers.
Excerpt
“Exactly who the hell are you, Dani? Paris Hilton?”
She walked to a bench then sat down. “We’re doing this
sooner than I hoped.”
“What’s your last name?”
Again she sighed. “Houseman.”
“You’re shitting me.”
“I wish I was.”
Jeremy sat down, afraid his knees would give away. “You’re…
your dad is… Dani that’s…” He couldn’t form a proper sentence and opted to shut
up.
“That’s pretty much how everyone reacts. It was nice while
it lasted.” She went to stand up, but he held her hand and pulled her back
down.
“First of all, nothing about this was nice, so cut the crap.
You pretty much kidnapped and raped me… twice on that second one.”
She managed a giggle.
“I’m sorry I was a stammering idiot. I guess I’ve never been
in the presence of a billionairess before. My humble plumbing and heating ass
feels a little put to shame.”
She rested her cheek to his chest; he wrapped an arm around
her. “I liked that you liked me for me, not who I was.”
“I don’t like you. What are you talking about?”
She gave him a playful slap on his chest. “You were starting
to like me. Admit it.”
“Maybe I finally got to where I could tolerate your two a.m.
jumpings.”
Again she laughed. “What Blake and I had was practically a
medieval arranged marriage. His family is even more loaded than mine. I didn’t
date much before him because I was always under lock and key. I was damn lucky
I didn’t have a chastity belt put on me. If I was out with family without him,
everyone swooned over me like a trophy. They wanted to date me because of who I
was.”
“Don’t sell yourself short. You’re gorgeous.”
“You never said you like the way I look.”
“Am I dead? Come on, Dani. You have to know how beautiful
you are.”
“I don’t think anyone has told me that – not anyone who
didn’t want something from me, anyway.”
“Well then, I guess you can take my compliment off your list
of firsts.”
“Why? You don’t want anything from me.”
“I wouldn’t go that far.” He moved her off his chest and
stood up.
She followed him up. “You do like me. I knew it!”
“You are certifiable – a total nut job, one of the pickiest
eaters I have ever known… but you drive me crazy.” She tiptoed up to wrap her
arms around his neck, but he stopped her and held her by the wrists. “Nothing
has changed, Dani. No, wait. In fact is has. It’s worse. We are even more of a
mismatch than we’ve ever been. I’m still too old for you and you still need to
wake up and quit your pouting. I knew I should have stuck to my guns about us.
Nothing good is going to come to me for falling for you. There’s no way your
family will tolerate anything less than this Blake.”
