Sometimes the perfect match is right under your nose…
Doctor Benny Sorensen has had it up to here with her party-throwing playboy neighbor. She’s declaring war. She doesn’t care how gorgeous or charming he is, he’s going down. That is until he proposes something she’s not sure she can say no to…
Wealthy ad man Henry Ellison lives an uncomplicated life that revolves around work, women, and partying. In that order. Until Benny storms into his life. To placate his attractive but hotheaded neighbor, Henry offers to help her land a date with the man of her dreams. Only as Henry makes her over and coaches her on the fine art of flirting, he realizes that the idea of this woman in any other man’s arms but his own is unacceptable. But Benny’s a forever kind of girl and forever might just be the one commitment he can’t make.
Each book in the Sorensen Family series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.
Series Order:
Book #1 Her Backup Boyfriend
Book #2 Her Accidental Husband
Book #3 The Playboy's Proposal
“I just want everything
to be perfect. I want—I need—to know that when he kisses me, he’s not going to
draw away in horror. That he’ll be enticed to want…more.”
A growing realization
was coming over Henry, and he wiped at his forehead. No. It wasn’t possible.
She wasn’t about to ask him—
“Would you be willing
to, maybe, kiss me? Just for a minute? You’ve been so honest up to now, and I
trust that you’ll tell me if kissing me is like kissing a twelve-year-old—”
“I’m afraid I wouldn’t
have any recent experience there.”
“You know what I mean.
You said you can create the whole package, and what I need from you right now
is assurance. Assurance and maybe a few…tips. What I’m doing wrong, what I’m
doing right…” She trailed off, her eyes pleading with him.
This was too much.
Benny was actually
sitting there, sexy as hell, asking him to kiss her, something he’d been
fighting himself from doing since she first sat on this couch. Maybe even
before that. She was asking him to feel what those full lips would be like
under his and manage to keep his head enough to give her pointers, for God’s
sake.
“Benny, I’m not sure
this is a good idea.”
“Oh. Okay, I
understand.” A certain glimmer of humor entered her eyes. “You’re afraid that
I’ve made you into this guru in the fine art of kissing and lovemaking, that
now that you’re on the spot, you won’t be able to hold up your end of it. It’s
a performance thing.”
“The hell it is.” He
sounded angrier than he’d intended. He tried again, making himself sound
levelheaded. “Believe me, I know what I’m doing. That’s not the problem.”
“Prove it.”
The woman was positively
deranged.
“Fine. If that’s what
you want. But when I tell you what you’re doing wrong, I don’t want you to try
and physically maim me.” He couldn’t believe he was going to do this.
Kiss a woman he’d been
thinking of more times than he probably should the past week. Kiss a woman whom
he’d been wanting to kiss long before then.
He smiled a little wider now. Well, if it was
what she wanted…
In no particular order,
here is a list of a few of the songs that made my playlist for The Playboy’s
Proposal. There are always a few keepers on here that I use in more than one book
as well as new ones that were spot on for the mood I needed for Benny and
Henry’s story. Hope you find some of
them inspirational to you too!

One little white lie leads to more than she planned…
Straight-laced lawyer Kate Matthews always plays by the rules. But when her ex gets engaged and a big promotion is on the line at work, she blurts out that she has a new boyfriend. And now that she’s proved she “has a life” outside of work, everything is perfect. Except for one teeny little detail—there is no boyfriend. And now Kate’s liable for her little white lie…
Dominic Sorensen is hot, charming, and very definitely not Kate’s type. But not only does Dominic want to help Kate renovate her home, he’s also willing to play “boyfriend.” All he wants in return is a little pro bono work for his sister. Now instead of Mr. Right, Kate has a delectable Mr. Fix-It-Right—and some unbelievable sexual chemistry. And if falling for Dominic is a breach of contract, Kate is guilty as charged…
Payton Vaughn’s trip to Puerto Vallarta for her friend's wedding was her big escape from her ridiculously overbearing mother–oh, and that little matter with her cheating fiancé. Now, her flight's been cancelled, and she's crammed into a tiny car with the gorgeous-but-irritating best man.
Viva la road trip from hell...
Cruz Sorensen doesn't have time to babysit some spoiled socialite, even if she is the future daughter-in-law of the man who could change the fortune of his family's company. He has no business getting to know her better—not even for all the tequila in Mexico...until they wake up with grande-sized hangovers as man and wife.
Now Payton and Cruz must decide if they've reached the end of their journey...or the beginning of a new adventure.
