About the Author

Every woman has fantasies—but Tabitha has the younger man to make them come true.

Tabitha isn’t desperate—not really. She has a wonderful career, caring friends, and a fulfilling life. She’s also described as cute—fine for a gal in her early twenties, but Tabitha is what some might describe as ‘approaching the hill’ and cute just doesn’t cute it anymore.

What’s a woman to do when she’s no longer considered hot marriage material but still finds heated nights quite appealing? Find a husband—or at least a lover.

Since Tabitha knows the advertising business, she decides to place a want-ad, but when her co-worker answers the call, things heat up quite unexpectedly. He even lets her in on a little secret—he’s been interested in more than ad campaigns, and he’s willing to follow her lead. After all, she pulled off a major publicity stunt to capture his attention.

Now that she has it, he’s ready to discuss some very provocative branding strategies.

Excerpt

A week later, just when Tabitha’s embarrassment had all but been forgotten, and her public plea for a spouse left behind, the phone rang. She was two steps out the door and almost let the machine grab it when curiosity killed her better judgment.

“Hello?” She fumbled for her keys and snatched the receiver after a couple of rings.

The only thing she heard was a deep, almost dark voice. “I’m hunky by some standards, gorgeous by others, and I’m interested if you’re buying dinner.”

“Who is this?” She would have laughed if she wasn’t agitated that she’d raced back inside to grab a call from an obvious prankster. She was irritated that she’d even stopped to pick up the phone. Her pending work-out trumped buying a meal for a complete stranger. That’s when it hit her. The man on the other end was calling because he’d obviously read the want-ad she’d placed. So the fun begins.

“I’m Lamar, and I was reading your advertisement for a husband and thought I’d give you a call.” His labored breathing came through in an exasperated plea of desperation.

“Oh, you must have the wrong number. I’m not looking for a significant other.” She cursed herself, Mary, Donna, and the damn paper for printing such nonsense in the first place. Damn it to hell! What have I done?

“You’re not? Well, this paper in front of me states something entirely different.” He chuckled dryly.

Tabitha could feel her face heating by the second. It was out, and on the other end of the phone was caller number one. Fabulous, fantastic, why the hell did I answer the phone? “You must be mistaken. Good-bye.” She quickly hung up. If she was going to talk to someone about becoming her future mate, she certainly didn’t plan to jump at the chance to buy the guy dinner.

As soon as she replaced the receiver, she felt guilty for being so rude. When the phone rang again, she answered apologetically. “Look, I’m sorry if I seemed dismissive, but if I wanted to buy a man’s meal, I assure you I wouldn’t have placed a public announcement. I work with plenty of attractive men and can buy any number of them a meal.”

There wasn’t any noise on the other end.

“Hello? Is anyone there?”

“Well, how about starting with me? I’d love to take you up on that offer.” His voice held a mischievous ring in every word spoken.

Oh shit. Oh no. It’s Vince from the office. Why was he calling? It was Saturday for crying out loud! He should’ve been dangling around a buxom blonde or something.
