How did a working-class girl who dreams of being a writer end up
with a job at one of the exclusive banks on the west coast?
Dumb luck, that's how.
I’m pretty sure that any minute now, the Powers That Be will
realize I don’t belong here. Before that happens, I need to figure out how to
fit in—how to look the part, dress the part, and act the part.
Fortunately, there’s Marcus.
Hiring him to be my date for the office party was easy.
Blackmailing him into helping me revamp my image is actually kind
of fun.
But not falling for him?
That might be impossible.
๐๐๐ง๐๐ช๐จ
In an ill-advised moment of rebellion, I turned my back on my old
job and my family’s wealth. Now I’m in Los Angeles working four part-time jobs
and contemplating my life choices.
I grew up mingling with the rich and mighty, so I’m not worried
when Alex hires me to impress her snooty co-workers.=
And I’m only a little worried when she blackmails me into being
her makeover mentor.
But when I start to fall in love with her?
That’s terrifying.

Excerpt:
The
rings and rings, and I’m rehearsing what I’ll say to his voice mail when Marcus
picks up.
“Good
morning, Kitten.” His voice is thick with sleep. Somehow, over the weekend, I’d
already forgotten how deep it is, and his baritone seems to vibrate right
through to my core, distracting me with thoughts of the molded biceps and abs
that go with it.
“Can’t
go there,” I mutter.
“What
was that?”
Shit, did I say that out loud? I hit
my forehead with the palm of my hand. “I need your help, Hollingsworth,” I say
in a low voice. “You’re not going to believe what’s happened to me this
morning.”
“Good
morning, Marcus. I’m sorry to wake you, Marcus. How was the rest of your
weekend, Marcus?” he replies.
“Oh,
for crying out loud, it’s nine a.m. on a Monday, Marcus. Most of us are up and
running by now.” I freeze. “Wait, is the starlet of the week there?”
“The
what?”
“Are
you all groggy because you’ve got a woman there with you?”
“Do you
honestly think I’d take a call from another woman if I had one here with me?”
He actually sounds offended. “Unlike some
people, I have manners,”
Okay,
this conversation is getting off track. “Look, Hollingsworth, I need your
help.”
“Oh,
goodie.” He yawns. “Okay, Kitten. What’s up?”
“I just
got asked to serve on a committee.”
“You
woke me up to tell me you’re serving on a committee.” It’s not a question so
much as an expression of profound resignation.
“It’s a
big deal. Kind of like a promotion with more work and no extra money.”
“Sounds
like just what you need. Maybe it’ll keep you out of trouble.”
“What I
need is your help. You’re good at
stuff like this. Plus, Logan was flirting with me. For real. I think. I need
you to tell me what to do.”
“The
only part of this conversation I understand is that you need my help with
something, so let me ask you: what are you going to do for me in return?”
I bite
my lip. I’d been kind of hoping he’d just help me because he’s nice, but that
may be asking too much. “Um … not turn you in to Cassandra?”
“That
one doesn’t work anymore. You turn me in, she slaps you with a
five-hundred-dollar fine,” he points out evenly. “And you definitely don’t get my help. What else have you got?”
I rack
my brains trying to think what I can offer him, but short of hard, cold cash, I
can’t think of anything. And I’m running low on cash. “Oh crap, I don’t know,
Hollingsworth. Are you going to make me beg?” This is followed by a long
silence. “Are you still there?”
“Mm …”
His voice sounds thick now with something besides sleep. “Just picturing you on
your knees in front of me.”
