Hope at Dawn (31 page)
Dear Reader,
A quiz:
What do you get when you put a millionaire who avoids romantic relationships in the same house with a determined-to-stay-single woman who crushed on him sixteen years ago?
If you answered
unstoppable attraction
, you’d be right.
In THE MILLIONAIRE AFFAIR, I paired a hero who cages and controls his emotions with a heroine who feels way too much, way too soon. Kimber Reynolds is determined to have a fling—to love and leave Landon Downey, if for only two reasons: (1) She’s wanted to kiss the eldest Downey brother since she was a teen, and (2) to prove to herself that she can have a shallow relationship that ends amicably instead of one that’s long, drawn-out, and destined to end badly.
When Landon’s six-year-old nephew, Lyon, and a huge account for his advertising agency come crashing into his life, Landon needs help. Lucky for him (and us!) his sister offers the perfect solution: her friend, Kimber, can be his live-in nanny for the week.
The most difficult part about writing Landon was letting him deal with his past on
his terms
and watching him falter. Here is a guy who makes rules, follows them, and remains stoic… to his own detriment. Despite those qualities, Landon, from a loving, close family, can’t help caring for Kimber. Even when they’re working down a list of “extracurricular activities” in the bedroom, Landon puts Kimber’s needs before his own.
These two may have stumbled into an arrangement, but when Fate tosses them a wild card, they both step up—and step closer—to the one thing they were sure they didn’t want…
forever
.
I
love
this book. Maybe because of how much I wrestled with Landon and Kimber’s story before getting it right. The three of us had growing pains, but I finally found their truth, and I’m
so
excited to share their story with you. If Landon and Kimber win your heart like they won mine, be sure to let me know. You can email me at [email protected], tweet me @lemmony, and “like” my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/authorjessicalemmon.
