different as night and day.
Kent Plack, heir to Plack Industries, has no interest in being with a woman for longer than one night. A spoiled and lazy man-whore, he is completely content with his playboy lifestyle, and Beth is surprised when they form an unlikely friendship.
Brian Burcham, a finance banker, is gorgeous and respectful. A man plucked from Beth’s dreams, he is definite husband material. Unfortunately, Beth has a hard rule against dating coworkers, but Brian is determined to change her mind.
When a deadbeat mother and money problems follow her to Chicago, Beth is offered a solution that could fix everything. Marrying for money seems simple enough, but when lines become blurred, Beth faces difficult choices, making her realize that the easy way out just made her life even harder than before.

Excerpt
Prologue
The woman was beautiful. She
looked like a supermodel ready to walk the runway. The blackest of black
eyelashes swept upward, accenting the depths of her emerald eyes. Curls of
mahogany sat on top of her head while the apple of her cheeks were highlighted
with a slight pink as if the sun had kissed her.
I should have been excited. I
should have been anxious.
But as my heartbeat thrashed in
my ears, all I felt was dread.
I sat on the stool, staring at
the girl in the mirror. I wondered who this girl was. I wondered where the old
girl had gone and how I could get her back.
The problem was I couldn’t. The
lie was so deep, the charade so long that there was nowhere else to go but to
move forward.
It was an out-of-body experience
as the chaos of the circus around me was happening. I barely noticed the woman
in front of me as she swished her little brush of pink gloss on my pouty lips.
Everybody was getting ready for
the big day.
My big day.
Four photographers were scattered
around the room, catching every moment and every detail from the shoes to the
invitation to the flowers.
Orchids.
Orchids didn’t give off a scent
like every other flower. Too much water would drown them. Not enough sunlight
would kill them. They were useless and high maintenance.
So, when the florist had asked me
what kind of flowers I would like for my bouquet, I’d said,
“Orchids.”
It was the flower I despised the
most. It wasn’t because of its lack of beauty or its uselessness, but I
didn’t want anything that I would pick for my real day.
The photographers moved to the
king-sized bed, and they snapped pictures of the regal designer wedding gown.
This was another thing I would have never picked for myself. I remembered my
last fitting. I had barely squeezed into the strapless couture dress.
I would never pick a dress that I couldn’t walk, dance or eat in. I hated it,
and that was the reason I’d picked it.
My stomach growled from
starvation. I’d had no appetite the night before, and today, Kendall, my maid
of honor, wouldn’t allow me to eat. It was so unlike
her. I guessed it was for my benefit because it took forever and a
half to fit into my dress. Either way, my stomach was eating itself because it
had nothing else to feed off of.
The time went by slowly as if it
were dragging on purpose to punish me for living the biggest lie of my
life. Most people would say their wedding day had flown by. This day
was killing me, killing me softly and slowly.
All I wanted was for it to be
over, but the day had just begun.
I took a deep breath and closed
my eyes. If I can only get through this day…this one day…
I just needed to get through
today.
Thank you for hosting today!
