Six Sentence Sunday ~ Wife by Wednesday

Okay... so it's more than six sentences... sue me!


“Tell me, Samantha… why would I be wasting my charm on you?”

He pronounced her name like a lover’s caress, smooth and silky. She heard a hint of an English accent. An accent she thought would be thick on his tongue because of his title.

“We’re here to discuss your pending marriage to one of the three women from my service,” she reminded him. “I’m not sure how charming me can work to any advantage for you.”

“Does everything have to have an angle?”

“In business, yes.” In her world anyway.

“What about in your personal life?” He sat forward, his jacket opened as he did and she noticed for the first time that he wasn’t wearing a tie. His dress shirt’s first two buttons were undone and his bronze skin underneath caught her eye.

“We aren’t here to discuss my personal life.”

        “I wouldn’t be too sure about that."

Six Sentence Sunday Wife by Wednesday

This little snippet if from Wife by Wednesday... my newest contemporary romance release.
In this scene Blake and Samantha are discussing the pro's and con's about having an affair.

“I’ve never embarked on an affair with an end date in mind.”

“Neither have I.” As he spoke, he moved closer, his hand coming to rest on the counter beside her.

“Right! Then why is it your relationships never last longer than six to nine months.”

“Coincidence.”

“Liar.”

His eyes widened in fake horror. “You wound me.”

“It would take more than that to wound you.”

Another great review for Wife by Wednesday


The Romance Studio gave Wife by Wednesday 4 1/5 hearts.

Here is what they had to say...

Wife by Wednesday is a very catchy title, and one of the many reasons I had to read this book. Besides, it's by this incredible author whose books I happen to have all of. The plot was fantastic, and I really enjoyed the opening line because it captivated my attention and had me wanting to know more. The dialogue was great, and I really liked the secondary characters, such as Blake's sister and his best friend, Carter. Hopefully those two get a story of their own, or they end up together. The sex scenes were perfect, and suited the story, although Samantha said she was never going to be involved with Blake in that way when they first agreed to marry. What I really enjoyed about Samantha was her willingness to accept Blake's proposal, because it benefited those she cared about. Since no one is more important to her than her sister. While with Blake, I liked that he pushed Samantha out of her comfort zone, making her realise that they were good together.
Overall, this was a great story that I hope is the start of a new series for this author of whose stories I hope to read more of in the future.

Release Day for Wife by Wednesday

It's party time~  Wife by Wednesday, my first completely contemporary romance is here!

I cannot wait to hear what everyone thinks about Blake and Sam's ten million dollar romance.

Here is a quick blurb, in case you've forgotten:

Blake Harrison:

Rich, titled, and charming… And in need of a wife by Wednesday so he turns to Sam Elliot who isn’t the business man he expected. Instead, Blake is faced with Samantha Elliot, engaging and spunky with a voice men call 900 numbers to hear.

Samantha Elliot:
Owner of Alliance, her matchmaking firm, and not on the marital menu... That is until Blake offers her ten million dollars for a one-year contract. All she needs to do is keep her attraction to her husband to herself and avoid his bed. But Blake’s toe-curling kisses and charm prove too difficult to combat. Now she needs to protect her heart so she can walk away when their mercenary life together is over.

Isn't it lovely? Crystal Posey, my webmistress now cover art designer did an amazing job. I'm so lucky to have her virgin cover. LOL

Here is the blurb:

Blake Harrison:


Rich, titled, and charming… And in need of a wife by Wednesday so he turns to Sam Elliot who isn’t the business man he expected. Instead, Blake is faced with Samantha Elliot, engaging and spunky with a voice men call 900 numbers to hear.

Title Help Please!!!

So here is the deal... I'm going to jump into the world of self publishing a few of my stories. My contemporary and sassy heroines don't all jump back in time. Some of them stay right here in the twenty-first century and don't have one paranormal bone in their body.

As I push my way into the contemporary romance market, I need amazing titles for my books. That's where you come in. I'm going to give you a blurb of the book, give you titles I'm considering, and ask for your feedback. If another title comes to you as you're reading my blurb, shout it out. If I use your title I'll send you a free download of said book when it's published.

Okay, here we go. The working title for this book has been Ten Million Dollar Bride - But I'm not sure that's working for me.

Here is the blurb:

Blake Harrison, the Duke of Albany, needs to secure a bride to inherit the bulk of his father’s fortune. The last thing he wants is any emotional attachment so he hires a match making firm to find a suitable wife for a year. When Sam Elliot turns out to be Samantha Elliot, engaging and spunky with a voice men call 900 numbers to hear, Blake offers her marriage in return for ten million dollars.

 
Samantha is responsible for her younger, disabled sister, and ten million dollars will take financial care of things for years to come. All she needs to do is keep her attraction to her husband to herself and avoid his bed. But Blake’s toe-curling kisses and charm proves too difficult to combat, now she needs to protect her heart so she can walk away when their mercenary life together is over.

Now, here are some title ideas:
 
Ten Million Dollar Bride
Temporary Bride
Temporary Duchess
The Duchess Wore Sweatpants
Bride For Hire
 
 
I need more ideas.
