Sweet deception
Ambitious, charming and heir to a food empire, Christian Chandler has no problem meeting women. If only more of them could see beyond his family’s fortune... On impulse, he creates a fake dating profile and quickly connects with petite powerhouse Serenity Williams. She’s smart, down-to-earth and ignites his fantasies from their first encounter. He has to tell her who he really is. But how can he admit the truth to a woman for whom honesty is everything?
Serenity has transformed her life—dropping a lying ex and starting her own nonprofit—and is finally ready to date again. Online, “Chris Mullins” is perfect. In real life, he’s even hotter. From extravagant dates to black-tie balls, Serenity’s falling fast...and then devastated to find she’s been taken in by another fraud. To rekindle their trust, Chris must prove that what they share is the deepest passion she’s ever known...
She’d anticipated kissing his full lips from the moment he picked her up. She already knew that when their lips touched, it would be divinely explosive.
She watched him with anxious anticipation as he walked around the car to her passenger door. Opening it, he held out his hand. She took it, and her pulse quickened. Serenity wondered if he could somehow tell. Placing one heeled foot out of the car, she looked up at Chris. That sexy smile of his made her giggle. He held her steady as her second foot hit the pavement. She stood but tripped forward and landed right against his chest. Her breath caught, and a shiver ran down her spine. Instead of being embarrassed, she felt aware of her femininity cradled by his frame. She liked it there.
“Oops.”
“I’ve got you.” Chris’s voice lowered. The husky tone was drowned in seduction.
For a moment neither of them moved. Chris wrapped his arms around her body. She could have lived right there.
“Mmm,” she moaned, nestling against him.
Serenity closed her eyes for a moment. She felt Chris’s hands run through her hair. She moaned again. With her head nestled in his chest, she could feel his heart rate quicken.
I’m so excited for you to take this journey into the lives of Serenity Williams and Christian Chandler. I wanted to take a very modern concept like online dating and explore the possibilities of a happily-ever-after, but with a little twist.
At first, Serenity and Christian are both opposed to the idea of finding love online. Serenity’s friend actually creates a profile for her on a popular dating app as an attempt to get Serenity back into the dating game. For Christian, it’s a different story. He simply wants to see what is out there and isn’t taking it seriously at all. In fact, he uses a fictitious name because the last thing he expects to do is find love.
To both of their surprise, they find each other, and the magnetism between them is impossible to deny. Christian is falling for Serenity faster than he’d ever imagined, and knows he has to tell her the truth soon. He plans to do just that, but one explosive night and an unexpected emergency get in the way. Now that the stakes have risen, he has to find a way to tell the truth and risk losing her all at the same time.
I hope you enjoy the journey as Christian finds his way back to Serenity’s heart. It is indeed a lovely journey that will take you halfway around the world.
Ciao,
Nicki
