Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n As we settle in, the busboy brings the waters, and I cut to the chase. \u201cSo, I hate to crash the Sunday Funday vibe, but I invited you to brunch with an ulterior motive. I need a favor.\u201d<\/p>\n She spreads her napkin on her lap with a raised brow. \u201cWhat kind of favor?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need you at next Monday\u2019s board meeting. As you know, we lost an important account last month when Beaux R\u00eaves in Paris went with a cheaper option. Obviously, they aren\u2019t our only account, not by a long shot. But given how volatile the industry has been lately, I need to make it crystal clear to the shareholders that selling isn\u2019t the right path. With the number of mergers and acquisitions going on, they\u2019re seeing dollar signs, but quick money isn\u2019t the answer. That\u2019s where you come in.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou want them to hear from me because of my shares?\u201d she asks, her brow furrowing. \u201cWe don\u2019t have anything close to a majority.\u201d<\/p>\n Though CJ inherited Sean\u2019s share of the business when he passed away, that\u2019s not why I need her at the meeting. CJ has a way of putting people at ease, of winning their trust and confidence. She\u2019s a successful business owner in her own right\u2014her accessories company Love Cycle Creations is growing by leaps and bounds every year. Plus, she was courted early on by an accessories conglomerate and she declined\u2014totally the right call, as her company is now a rising star in her field.<\/p>\n I nod. \u201cOf course, but that\u2019s not the only reason. I need to convince them that now is not the time to explore getting into bed with a huge multinational retailer. And to do that, it\u2019ll help to hear from someone with an insider\u2019s stock holdings and an outsider\u2019s perspective. I want them to hear from you<\/em> in particular since you went through something so similar with Love Cycle.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOn a much smaller scale, though. My company is tiny compared to Adored.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSize doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d I pause to wiggle an eyebrow for effect. \u201cWell, in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n A faint blush spreads on her cheeks. \u201cYou and the innuendo.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do love innuendo. I also love Adored. That\u2019s why I want to keep it the way it is\u2014growing, profitable, and independent. I don\u2019t want it swallowed by some faceless corporate giant.\u201d A smile teases her lips for a moment and then disappears. I can\u2019t read her at all, so I\u2019m on the edge of my seat, waiting for an answer. \u201cPlease, CJ,\u201d I add when she stays silent for a long beat. \u201cI need you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou need me,\u201d she echoes, her brow smoothing as she sighs. She takes a drink of water, sets down her glass, and runs the tip of her tongue across her lips.<\/p>\n I watch her tongue move, wondering why I\u2019ve never noticed how amazing her mouth is. She has the bee-stung lips of a cover girl, in a shade of pink so deep it brings to mind flushed, hot, intimate things.<\/p>\n Things I should be thinking of in her presence.<\/p>\n In anyone\u2019s<\/em> presence.<\/p>\n Resist, Campbell, resist\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n Finally, just as I\u2019m gearing up to beg, she looks up, a mysterious smile curving her lips. \u201cI know exactly what you need, Graham.\u201d<\/p>\n Damn, that sounded\u2026naughty.<\/p>\n I reach for my water glass, needing something to cool me down since innocent words from a woman I\u2019ve known forever are sending my thoughts straight into the gutter.<\/p>\n \u201cBut before I agree to your request,\u201d she adds, her fingers drumming lightly on the white tablecloth, \u201cI need something from you, too. Something I\u2019ve been thinking long and hard<\/em> about. Very long. And very hard.\u201d Her eyes meet mine, trouble flickering in her gaze.<\/p>\n Glass halfway to my lips, I freeze.<\/p>\n Christ.<\/em> Who the hell is this sexy-as-sin woman, and what has she done with CJ?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A #1 New York Times Bestselling author, Lauren Blakely<\/a> is known for her contemporary romance style that’s hot, sweet and sexy.
