Olivia
Adams has her life plan all figured out. One, answer a call-out for a bride
from a billionaire. Two, dazzle the billionaire into proposing to her. Three,
put the smile back on her mother’s face when she takes her place as the
gold-tipped social butterfly she once was eight years ago.
Cakewalk.
Except
for one infuriating, delectable, six-foot-three glitch.
For as
long as he can remember, Matthew Kane has planned to take down his father. If
he annoys his half-brother in the process by amusing himself with the girl he
wants to marry—bonus. However, the madder the sweet little gold-digger gets at
him for interfering with her scheme to snatch the billionaire, the more he
wants her.
Exerpt
“Well,
well, well,” Matthew Kane murmured to himself. So, this was the lucky Olivia
Kelly Adams in the flesh, the soon-to-be bride of Victor Meyer, prodigy son of
none other than software giant Horace Meyer himself.
Since
Matthew had taken a personal interest—although to an outsider it probably
looked more like an obsession—in the Meyers’ lives the last fifteen years or
so, Victor’s attempt at marriage hadn’t fazed Matthew much.
He smirked at the
numerous reports about Victor Meyer, landing on his desk. The dreamy
bachelor—some starry-eyed daytime talk-show host’s words, not his—had put out
an international call for a bride.
The handsome twenty-seven-year-old—again,
not his words—thought he’d reached the point in his life where he wanted to
settle down. Produce heirs to one day take over MeyerTech, the mammoth computer
company he ran alongside his father.
So,
the crème-de-la-crème with their daughters had attended a fancy lunch hosted by
Victor’s mother where he had his choice of beautiful women.
Matthew had
remained unconcerned throughout it all until he glimpsed a photograph of what
could be Victor’s future wife. Then he couldn’t help himself, he needed to see
her for himself. That she’d be catching a flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg
suited him fine because, suddenly, so would he. Sitting next to her had cost
him nothing but a small bribe—his phone number.
The
scent of her skin, a mingling of baby powder blended with rose-scented soap,
lingered on his hands. He couldn’t stop from messing around with the gorgeous
gold digger hoping to plant her nails into the good old fortune of the Meyers,
no less. She intrigued him.
Tilting
his head to the side, he peered at her sitting rock-rigid beside him, still
amused at how she’d flown out of his lap back into her seat. Her dark hair, a
wild river of fragrant tresses, covered her face from his view. She hugged the
voluptuous dress to her chest. He remembered what seemed to have been paw prints
on her white shirt.
He
grinned when he thought how stunned she’d been to find herself in his lap.

Passionate, crazy, enthusiastic,

So hard to choose! But Pride and
Prejudice is definitely top of my list, the book and the movie. I love The
Hobbit, Jane Eyre, anything by Dostoevsky. Gillian Flynn gives me a good scare,
love her. Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels – a book I keep reading.
Do your leading characters come from any place in
particular?
Yes – my head! :)

Downtime? Even when I’m not writing
I’m still thinking about writing all the time! But I do love being with my
family. Read - I have a TBR pile as high as a mountain. I watch movies, or have
series marathons.

Pumpkin seeds
Strawberries
Air-popped popcorn

What's your writing process?
I pantster my way furiously to
chapter four or five, realize it isn’t working, plot desperately, right myself,
carry on pantstering, plot, rinse, repeat :)
Talk to us about your book, what is your favorite part
or character?
Matthew is my favorite character. I enjoyed
writing about his first meeting with Olivia. She was so flustered by him.
What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Umm…I’m not allowed to say? ;)
