Excerpt:…
One of my favorite tropes is forced intimacy, whether it’s a pretend dating situation or a marriage of convenience plot. D’Andre Smith loves his mother, and he doesn’t want to do anything to upset her. So here he is having lunch with a reporter, and she hates reporters. So what can he do? Before D could wrap things up, a raucous burst of laughter from the entrance to the restaurant blasted through his consciousness. Shit! He recognized that laugh. D ducked down, the slatted wood partition kept him hidden right now but within a minute he was going to be busted. “What’s wrong?” Elise’s perfect platinum brows arched down as she tilted her head quizzically. Mary Smith hated reporters. Seriously hated them. “My mother,” he whispered. Elise lifted in her booth seat and craned her neck to look over the partition. “Really?” Her smile illuminated their table. Lordy, he needed her to not draw attention to them while he frantically searched for a reason to be here with her. “Don’t look,” he whispered. She propped her arms on the table and hunched her shoulders so that she was below the partition. Her ice blue eyes danced with amusement, the cold demeanor wiped away by her smile. “Why are we hiding?” “She hates reporters.” Jesus, his momma would rip him a new one if she found out he was here with a reporter. “You’re seriously afraid of your mother?” “Never piss off a Southern black woman, she’ll make you regret it.” His heart pounded in his chest. “What were you going to do when my article came out?” “I had time to ease her into the idea of an interview.” Think, think. “I’ve got it. Be my date.” She reared back. “Excuse me?” But that was it. His mother knew all his top employees. His business was more like a family than a corporation. He reached across the table and grabbed her hand. His forearm rested on her phone between them. Her skin was impossibly soft. “Pretend to be my lunch date.” Her mouth opened. Closed. Opened again. “She won’t believe it. You date gorgeous black women, models.” True. And surprising that she knew that. “God your skin is so soft.” For a moment he got lost in the sensation of touching her. She flushed, tensed her fingers, clearly ready to pull her hand from his. “You’re not kidding.” In a heartbeat, she squinted her eyes, and her gaze turned calculating. “Shit no, I’m not kidding.” “What do I get out of it?” “The satisfaction of knowing D’Andre Smith owes you a favor,” he hissed. “Sorry, but I need more than that.” “Can we discuss after we deal with this?” She smiled. “Sure, but you owe me.”
