Love is the Biggest Gamble of All . . .
Cocktail waitress
Sophie Dalton doesn't exactly have a life plan. She's perfectly happy being
everyone's favorite party girl. But when a Las Vegas bachelorette party goes
awry and an uptight businessman mistakes Sophie for a prostitute . . . well,
Sophie wonders if it's time to reevaluate her priorities. Swearing off her
thigh-high boots for good, Sophie slinks back home with damaged pride-and a
jackpot of a hangover.
Yet what happens in
Vegas doesn't always stay there. On a trip to Seattle to open a new office,
Grayson Wyatt meets his latest employee-who turns out to be the same woman he
recently called a hooker. Wealthy and gorgeous, Gray is a man used to getting
what he wants. And it doesn't take long to figure out that smart, sassy, sexy
Sophie is everything he's been looking for. As their late nights at the office
turn into hot morning-afters, they realize their Vegas misunderstanding may
lead to the real thing . . .

When opposites attract …
Anger snaked down Sophie’s spine and she stood up, slapping her own palms on his desk so she could get in his face. “That’s why you regret insulting me? Because it led to this?”
As she said “this,” she waved her hand between their two bodies, and Gray’s eyes followed the motion of her hand before he halfway stood and put his face within inches of hers.
“Quit,” he commanded.
Sophie could feel his breath on her face. “Fire me.”
“And have a lawsuit on my hands? I don’t think so. You’d sue me halfway to China.”
“Well, I’m not going to add ‘quitter’ to my lengthy list of flaws, so if you want me gone, you’ll have to haul me out by the hair,” she shot back.
Sophie saw his fingers flex briefly and suspected there was nothing he’d like more than to follow through with her suggestion. But the hot, angry Gray was slowly fading.
Sophie watched with an odd pang of disappointment as the Ice Man returned, and he slowly lowered to his chair. For a moment he’d seemed so…alive.
Lauren Layne is a
snarky cynic with a serious weakness for happily ever afters.
Marrying her high
school sweetheart was a good start. *cue Disney soundtrack.*
But Lauren wanted all
romance, all the time.
Now she writes
fictional happy endings, and considers her job done well if you swoon while
reading her books. Don't worry. You will.
Once upon a time
she lived in a Manhattan high-rise, but now she's on the laid-back train
in the Seattle area. If you ever find yourself in Issaquah, she'll
probably buy you a drink. Maybe.
