Jared is hired for thirty-three dollars and fifty-nine cents and it’s the first day of falling in love with Nate and his son.
Jared
is a part-time student of psychology and funds his studies by working
for Bryant & Waites. Youngest son of a sprawling family back in
Wisconsin, New York has proven to be a lonely place even if he does love
meeting new people in his job. Playing by the rules has made him
Gideon’s favorite hire, but his heart is big and too often he finds
himself in the weirdest of situations. Jared is strictly professional,
that is until he meets Luka sitting on the office steps with pocket
money in hand and the saddest expression Jared has ever seen. He never
means to take the job, but his soft heart and his connection with Luka
brings him into Nate’s life, and when fake turns real, things will never
be the same again.
Being
a single dad to eleven-year-old Luka is the best thing in Nate's world,
but add in running a bar with long hours, and his work-life balance is
screwed. There’s certainly no time for relationships, and even though
Luka worries about his dad’s love life on a daily basis, romance is the
last thing on Nate’s agenda. Owning Rhea’s Bar and keeping his head
above water is second only to the love for his son—the most important
person in his life. His entire world consists of his son and the bar
until Jared stumbles into his life. Even though Nate won’t admit it,
he’s lonely and Jared is the first friend he’s made in a very long time.

“Jared,”
he opened a file on his desk. “One missing advent swan, a narrowly
avoided foursome, a destroyed room, and that’s in less than three
months. If it wasn’t for the positive feedback and the fact that all
three of those bookings gave you glowing reviews, despite the issues—” “Am
I fired? I’m sorry, I didn’t know that the swan belonged to the hotel,
otherwise when the girl from the table next to me started sobbing I
wouldn’t have gotten involved and opened the gate to let it out.” “No,
you’re not fired, but Jared, you have to stop trying to make everything
better for everyone, and open us up to situations that cost money or
reputation. So, this next booking…” “Is my last chance?” Jared finished and remained hopeful that Gideon wasn’t going to get rid of him. “End
of May we’ve just booked a graduation event for one of our new clients,
she’s a CEO and won’t take any drama, tell me I’m not going to get a
report that shit has hit any of the fans in the room you're in.” Jared held up a hand. “I solemnly swear.” Gideon
muttered something under his breath and then pressed the intercom.
“Rowan, can you bring in the ZenTech Industries file?” There was static,
and Gideon frowned at the machine as if it had personally hurt him.
“Rowan?” Just as
Gideon stood to find his errant PA, Rowan’s voice came through loud and
clear. “I’d love to come in babe…sir, but we have a slight issue.” | Excerpt 2
“Do you have any idea how worried I was? And Auntie Lee? What were you thinking? Lying? No lies, we don’t lie, ever.” Luka’s bottom lip trembled. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.” Nate
held Luka’s face, tugged the beanie he was wearing down over his ears.
His cheeks were flushed pink from the cool air and felt chilled against
Nate’s warm palms. “What would I do if something happened to you? Hey?”
He pulled Luka to him, appreciated the solid feel of him in his arms.
“Promise me you won’t do anything like this ever again.” There was a small hic as Luka nodded against him. “What
were you doing that was so important that you thought you had to lie
about it?” He rested his hand on the top of Luka’s head, encouraging
Luka to lean back. Luka’s eyes were wet, his nose red. “It’s your birthday soon. I wanted to get you something.” |

Russell is an author, cover artist and vampire slayer. Okay, she may
have made that last one up, but that’s what she loves about writing—the
possibilities. No matter where her stories are set—from fantastical
worlds of zombies and werewolves to the ambling life of an English
village—she strives to write about romance and the tales of men
searching for their happy ever after. Meredith writes the stories she
loves to read—complex, emotional, a journey, and sometimes unexpected.
In
2012 Meredith had her first novels published, as well as being
commissioned to do her first cover design. She now splits her time
between populating fictional worlds with characters she adores, and
helping other authors bring theirs to life through cover art. She has
had a number of popular releases, including Dead Things, Just Jack, and both the Sapphire Cay and Boyfriend for Hire series' written with RJ Scott.
