A Perfect Match eBook Bundle (EBOOKS)

It's a perfect match when a corporate high-flier meets a sexy male stripper.

When Nadine needs a fake boyfriend for her company's marketing convention, hiring the male stripper she met at her younger sister's bachelorette party seems like the perfect solution.

But Ethan Adams is something else. Not only is he five years younger than Nadine, and as sexy as sin, he's her exact opposite.

Nadine likes to work hard. Ethan likes to work out.

She sets goals. He sets hearts on fire.

She only needs him for one weekend.

Just one weekend, for an overnight stay at a hotel.

What could go wrong?

The Proposal is an older woman, younger man romance featuring a sexy male escort with a heart of gold and the female corporate executive with no time for romance. A feel-good inspirational romance.

Despite the loud music and wails of laughter coming out of the living room, Nadine managed to tune out the noises and concentrate on her report. She was so engrossed in it that she didn’t hear Amy sneak up on her.

“Nadine!” she hissed, “what are you doing here? You’ve already missed the first act and Keira’s upset that you’re not inside.” She marched over to Nadine and grabbed her by the elbow. “This way,” she commanded and led a reluctant Nadine out of the kitchen.

In the living room, the lights had been dimmed and the table lamp in the far end of the room had been switched on. Her normally cream-colored warm sanctuary of rest had been transformed into a seedy, dimly lit den of vice. The girls were spread out along the two couches, with a very smiley-faced Keira sitting in the midst of them.

The stripper in the first act had just finished. He was down to his thong after convincing one of Keira’s friends to rub oil on his buttocks. Nadine was sorely tempted to give the girl who had done the rubbing a Kleenex so that she could wipe her hands clean. She didn’t want oily grease marks all over her sofas. She already regretted her decision to host the bachelorette party at her place. Then Amy marched up to her and handed her a glass of wine.

“You’ll need this to loosen up, Nadine. Lighten up a little!”

“Thanks for that,” answered Nadine tightly. You have no idea of the overwhelming workload on my plate, do you? But instead she smiled sweetly and watched as Amy made her way back to the giggling group of girls and sat down dutifully next to a very flushed Keira.

As the music went up in volume, Nadine looked up and saw that act number two was now coming on. Her eyes widened with interest when she saw that it was the guy she had spoken to earlier, Ethan. He still wore his navy blue US Air Force uniform with the flight cap drawn down low over his forehead. She could tell it was him by the strong jawline and his build.

Mesmerized, Nadine was unable to take her eyes off him. She slowly sipped her wine and watched with growing interest as the music started and Ethan moved around the room, seductively taking off his jacket. He was definitely the best looking of the bunch and more built too, whereas the others were leaner and younger. He threw his jacket over the girls’ heads. Nadine found the scene a little embarrassing to watch and wondered how anyone could work up the courage to do that in a room full of strangers.

He danced around some more, teasing them with his movements and then he started to take off his shirt. The music gyrated and the girls howled even louder as he moved over to Keira and commanded her to unbutton his shirt. Nadine felt the heat creep into her cheeks at the sight of the stripper flirting with her sister. Keira had drunk so much that she fumbled around before she was able to get through all of his buttons.

The heat inside the room, mixed with the strong smell of wine and other alcohol that wafted through the air, made Nadine feel intoxicated and she was unable to take her eyes off Ethan as he picked Keira up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She was so light and dainty that he was able to pick her up as easily as if she were a floaty feather. Then, he sat her down on a chair and got her to rub baby oil on his chest, and when she was done with that, he moved closer, standing right in front of her face, and encouraged her to undo his zipper.

Nadine’s mouth fell open.

She watched, unable to look away as the stripper peeled his pants down. Unable to control herself, Nadine watched in pure fascination as Ethan slowly and sensuously climbed out of his trousers, her gaze swept over his lean muscles and his all too perfect chest, and his flat, tight stomach.

All thoughts of the report flew out of her head.

Licking her lips and with her eyes completely riveted to the show in front of her, Nadine stared at him as he turned around and danced in front of the girls; his every move driving them insane. He teased them mercilessly and he looked as if was enjoying it, too. Then he picked up a jar of lotion and handed it to Keira, pretending, at the same time to pull down his G-string. He cast a provocative gaze at the crowd as a naughty grin flashed across his face. The group of girls shrieked even louder in response. Then, thankfully, he didn’t go any further and instead asked Keira to rub the oil on his back as the now delirious girls reached out and tried to grab him.

The potent mix of wine and vodka shooters had gone straight to their heads.

Including Nadine’s. She swallowed, and clutched her wine glass even more tightly. With his back to Keira, he stared out at that crowd until his gaze locked on Nadine. Something was happening to her body, watching him, and she hadn’t felt that tingly excitement rush over her for years. Maintaining eye contact, he danced across the floor to where she stood and stopped a couple of yards away. For a second, Nadine was partly paralyzed by his blatantly potent male sexiness. His bare, shiny chest heaved furiously as he took a few moments to recover his breath.

He was half naked and beautiful, and she didn’t know whether to rush back into the kitchen or to stand her ground.

Behind him, she could see that the other girls watched them both, whooping with delight. Amy and Keira were laughing so much that they had slipped to the floor in hysterics. Nadine knew they often regarded her as being a prude and straitlaced, and therefore it was no wonder they were laughing their heads off.

Ethan took a step towards her and removed the glass of wine from her, handing it over to one of the girls. He held out his other hand, but Nadine refused to take it. Her heart beat furiously beneath her ribcage, and she was both excited and terrified as she stood face-to-face with this almost naked and beautiful man. He grabbed her hand again, and seemed to want to lead her to the middle of the floor, but she didn’t want to risk doing what her sister had done. Rubbing oil on him? Terrified, she tried to pull her hand away.

To her surprise, he didn’t force her. Instead, he took her hand and kissed the back of it and then he walked back to Keira, got her up and danced around with her.

Nobody else noticed that there was a slight hiccup in the dance routine.

Nobody but Nadine.

Her heart had started to beat madly with the anticipation of what was coming. Yet she had been partly relieved when Ethan stepped back and changed tactics.

Taking in a huge breath of air, Nadine stepped back into the kitchen and squirted a vodka shooter down her throat. Then she had another one before she headed back to her laptop to carry on with the report.
