BLURB:
Maddie
McCarthy is single, between jobs, and (oh, the shame) lives with her mother. To
make matters worse, she's the maid of honor for her sister's wedding, and
desperately needs a date. Then she sees her salvation—Match Made Easy, a
service for women in Maddie’s exact position. If she can't find a boyfriend,
she'll do the next best thing...
Hire one.
Trent Montgomery isn't
actually part of Match Made Easy. He's just doing a favor for his cousin, but
one look at the blonde who hired him, and he's totally hooked. Now Maddie
thinks that the attraction sizzling between them is just “part of the package.”
And Trent is running out of time to prove to her that her date-for-hire might
just be her happily-ever-after...
Excerpt :
"Maddie, what on earth is wrong with you?" her
sister asked, planting her fists on her hips.
"You mean besides the obvious?" Veronica muttered.
Her mom cocked her head. "Honey, is something wrong?
You looked flushed."
Louise made a reach for the article but Maddie jumped back
and pressed the paper further into her bra. "N-nothing is wrong. I just
don't want Louise to make a major mistake with her hair. Better to not even be
tempted by this dowdy style. It's awful. We'll find another one for you."
She pointed her finger toward the seating area. "There are a whole bunch
of magazines over there."
Louise continued to stare at her for several long seconds,
then finally nodded. "Okay, I guess I do want to find the perfect
style." She frowned at Maddie's chest. "However, your methods to
express that seem a bit extreme…"
"Let me go change and then we'll get cracking on looking
for one." Not waiting for an answer, Maddie hurried to the dressing room
and, once she was behind the curtain, pulled out the crumpled page from her
dress.
Maddie had seen commercials for Match Made Easy on TV. They
seemed like a decent business and legit. She hoped. She prayed they weren't out
of her price range. Not that it mattered—time was running out. She'd pay
anything to prove to her family she wasn't cursed. Plus, Ryan would be there,
most likely with that cheating blonde of his. She bet anything they'd both love
to see her at her lowest point: jobless and dateless. Well, no one was going to
feel sorry for her. Not her cousin and certainly not the best man, either.
She'd show them all. And since she couldn't find a wedding date to her sister's
wedding on her own, it looked as if she'd be forced to do the next best thing.
Hire one.
