The Book Junkie Reads . . . Billionaire Bachelor (Billionaire Bachelor, #1) . . .
Cute, sexy, sassy. Merian and Reese both were working to get back what was rightfully theirs to begin with but there was one thing standing in their way. To move past these roadblocks they decide on a marriage of convenience. At the end they both will get what they want, but what happens when things begin to change and what you thought you wanted will no longer be enough.
Reese was a man with a plan and determination. So he has to run over a few people to get what he wants. Merian was just one more person that he would use to get what he wants. His indecent proposal turns in to more. And away we go. Reese was hot, sexy, determined. Meian was cute, sassy, and in way over her head, but family means everything to her. And the family hotel was in need and she was going to do what she had to.
Jessica Lemmon gives us another scorcher with ummph. Get in on the new series Billionaire Bad Boys.

Indecent Proposal
Indecent Proposal
Manwhore.
That's what the board of directors-and the tabloids-thinks of billionaire
bachelor Reese Crane. Ordinarily he couldn't care less, but his playboy past is
preventing the board from naming him CEO of Crane Hotels. Nothing-and no
one-will keep him from his life's legacy. They want a settled man to lead the
company? Then that's exactly what he'll give them.
Merina
Van Heusen will do anything to get her parents' funky boutique hotel back-even
marry cold-as-ice-but-sexy-as-hell Reese Crane. It's a simple business
contract-six months of marriage, absolute secrecy, and the Van Heusen is all
hers again. But when sparks fly between them, their passion quickly moves from
the boardroom to the bedroom. And soon Merina is living her worst nightmare:
falling in love with her husband . . .

Even with her nostrils flared, Merina forced
a smile. There was only one way past this gatekeeper. She called up an ounce of
poise—an ounce being the most she could access at the moment. “Merina Van
Heusen to see Reese Crane.”
“Ms. Van Heusen,” the woman said, her tone
flat, her eyes going to the doorknob in Merina’s hand. “You’re here regarding
the changes to the hotel, I presume.”
“You got it,” Merina said, barely harnessing
her anger. How come everyone was so damn calm about dismantling a town
landmark?
“Have a seat.” Crane’s bulldog gestured one
manicured hand at a group of cushy white chairs, her mouth frowning in disgust
as she took in Merina’s dishevelment. “Perhaps I could fetch you a towel
first.”
“I won’t be sitting.” She wasn’t about to be
put in her place by Reese’s underling. Then her prayers were answered as the
set of gleaming wooden doors behind the secretary’s desk parted like the Red
Sea.
Jackpot.
Merina barreled forward as the woman at the
desk barked, “Excuse me!”
Merina ignored her. She wouldn’t be delayed
another second…or so she thought. She stopped short when a woman in a very
tight red dress, the neckline plunging into plentiful cleavage, her heels even
higher and potentially more expensive than Merina’s Louboutins, swept out of
the office and gave her a slow, mascaraed blink back. Then she sashayed around
Merina, past the bulldog, and left behind a plume of perfume.
Interesting.
Reese’s latest date? An escort? If Merina
believed the local tabloids, one and the same. Paying for dates certainly
wasn’t above his pay grade.
Before the doors closed, she slipped into
Reese’s office.
“Ms. Van Heusen!” came a bark behind her, but
Reese, who stood facing the windows and looking out upon downtown, said three words
that instantly shut his secretary up.
“She’s fine, Bobbie.”
Merina smirked back at the sour-faced,
coal-eyed secretary as Reese’s office doors whooshed shut.
“Merina, I presume.” Reese still hadn’t
turned. His posture was straight, jacket and slacks impeccably tailored to his
muscular, perfectly proportioned body. Shark or not, the man could wear a suit.
She’d seen the photos of him in the Trib
as well as Luxury Stays, the hotel
industry’s leading trade magazine, and like every other woman in Chicago, she
hadn’t missed the gossip about him online. Like his more professional photos,
his hands were sunk into his pant pockets, and his wavy, dark hair was styled
and perfect.
Clearly the woman who had just left was here
on other business…or past business. If something more clandestine was going on,
Reese would appear more mussed. Then again, he probably didn’t muss his hair
during sex. From what she gleaned about him via the media, Reese probably
didn’t allow his hair to muss.
The snarky thought paired with a vision of
him out of that suit, stalking naked and primed, golden muscles shifting with
each long-legged step. Sharp, navy eyes focused only on her…
He turned to face her and she snapped out of
her imaginings and blinked at the stubble covering a perfectly angled jaw. What
was it about that hint of dishevelment on his otherwise perfect visage that
made her breath catch?
Thick dark brows jumped slightly as his eyes
zoomed in on her chest.
She sneered before venturing a glance down at
her sodden silk shirt. Where she saw the perfect outline of both nipples. A
tinge of heat lit her cheeks, and she crossed her arms haughtily, glaring at
him as best she could while battling embarrassment.
“Seems this April morning is colder than you
anticipated,” he drawled.

TOP 5 THINGS THAT MAKE THE MAN: REESE CRANE
By Jessica Lemmon
Curious about what makes Reese Crane, billionaire bachelor, the man? Lucky for us, I was able to get
my latest (stubborn) hero to open up about 5 things that make him, well, him.
#5 ~ Beard trimmer.
Reese is never without a sexy amount of stubble on his jaw and chin (see book
cover) and this bit of dishevelment throws our heroine, Merina right off
course. Reese maintains his look, never clean-faced, and never too beardy. Can
you say control?
#4 ~ Scotch.
Reese prefers it on the rocks, and as he tells Merina on their date one evening,
“It’s always what I expect.”
#3 ~ Yacht. In
case of temporary nuptials, climb aboard and hide out! But not for long.
Sunrise on the deck isn’t optional for
Reese—he and Merina need reporters to see them together after the wedding.
#2 ~ Sharp wit.
I’m not sure whose banter is more infectious, Merina’s or Reese’s. But I
promise you this: when they’re together, they are on fire!
#1 ~ The tie.
Merina becomes obsessed with loosening Reese’s ever-present tie, much to the
reader’s delight. As she puts it, she likes to see him come undone.
As do I, Mer. As do I. ;-)
