Congratulations on your new novel!
Let's check out the details, shall we?
Here is the book blurb.
In death, Simon Blackstone left a legacy. But some family secrets refuse to stay buried.
Nicholas Blackstone is next in line to take over as CEO of Blackstone Enterprises after his father's passing. A stubborn risk-taker, he is determined to live up to expectations. Well, most expectations. With his demanding schedule Nicholas has little time, or patience, to date the type of socialite women who are pushed on him. With an upcoming high-profile wedding to attend in California, how can he avoid being set up? Then he found his solution, a pretty waitress who might be willing to help him out.
Breanne Taylor is a busy student studying Psychology at the University of Chicago, paying her way by working as a waitress at an upscale restaurant. She is used to demanding customers, but when a handsome and wealthy diner propositions her to be his out of town wedding date she is caught off guard. After she decides to go, Breanne is pulled into the inner circle of the Blackstone family and quickly realizes this is a world unlike her own - where dangers lurk just below the luxury.
(Falling for the Heir is a contemporary new adult billionaire romance with a few steamy sex scenes and a compelling mystery subplot that builds up to a satisfying HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.)
Great cover!
Jenny is also giving us a peek at this new adult romantic mystery!
Here is an excerpt.
I placed coffee down in front of each of them then stood back,
holding the tray against me. The younger man looked back up at me. “Thank you,”
he said with a gorgeous smile. I guessed he was in his late twenties or early
thirties.
“You’re welcome.” He seemed to be the only one at the
table that had any manners. “Do you need more time or are you ready to order?”
I asked the group.
One of the men glanced at the menu. “Eggs benedict,” he said, not
looking at me.
“Poached egg on whole wheat,” said the other before falling back
in conversation with the man beside him.
“Asparagus omelette,” said the third. Finally I came to the
younger man, who was watching me this entire time.
“What do you recommend?” he asked, tilting his head slightly and
tapping the menu with his finger.
“That depends,” I told him. “Are you in the mood for sweet or
savory?”
He looked at me, his gaze lingering and intense. “Sweet, most
definitely,” he told me. I couldn’t help but blush and look down at my hands.
Was it my imagination or was he flirting with me?
“Well, in that case, I would suggest the mixed berry crepe with
mascarpone cheese. It’s one of our best dishes, in my opinion,” I told him.
“That sounds perfect. Thank you, Breanne,” he said.
I turned and hurried out of the room to put in the order, aware of
him watching me again as I went. While the kitchen started on their food I
quickly checked on my other tables, dropping off food or bills, refilling water
or coffee. When the private party’s breakfast was ready, I balanced the plates
and brought them over. They were in the midst of a heated conversation when I
arrived.
“Listen, Nicholas,” one of the men was saying. “No one is doubting
your future or leadership. Simon left you in charge of the company in his will,
and we are all here to advise you during the transition. I just think it’s
prudent to name Liam as second in command to pacify the shareholders.”
“Liam is still an Executive, and when the dust settles he and I
can have a conversation about succession. But I’m planning on being with the
company for a long time and it doesn’t make sense for me to get that ball rolling
so early. Besides, I know Liam feels he should have been left in charge instead
of me. We need to find a balance and a good working relationship before I name
anyone else as my second in command.”
“There is no one else more qualified,” said one of the men. “The
board is expecting you to indicate Liam.”
“Well, then they’re in for a surprise. Because I’m not ready, and
I’m a cautious man. I don’t do anything until it’s been well thought out.”
I placed the plates down one at a time, now knowing the younger man
was actually the one in charge and his name was Nicholas. I reached forward to
place his plate down and he looked into my eyes again, pale blue searching into
my hazel green. My hand shook slightly and I accidentally bumped into a glass
of water, tipping it over and watching in horror as it crept over a pile of
documents.
“What the hell are you doing!” shouted the older man, picking up
the pages while water dripped off of them. “How hard is your job, really, to be
able to put down a dish and not cause a disaster?”
“I’m so, so sorry,” I stammered, mopping at the wet spot on the
table. “I didn’t mean-”
“To ruin important documents? Well, you did,” the man spat back.
“Jeffrey,” Nicholas cut in. “It was an accident, and I’m telling
you to stop.” His voice was firm, and at his command the older man snapped his
mouth shut but still glared at me.
“It’s really not a problem,” Nicholas continued to tell me,
placing a hand lightly on my arm. “I was never going to sign them anyways.” I
looked down at the place where he made physical contact, feeling an electric
current run through me.
“I really am sorry.”
His smile warmed me. “I know, and I assure you, it’s okay.”
I swallowed hard and walked away to let them eat their meal. I
felt so embarrassed, I couldn’t believe I had made such a mess of their
meeting. I was on edge as I checked on my other tables, wondering how Mark
would react when he inevitably found out what I had done. When I went back to
check on the group one of the older men pointed at his coffee cup, still
visibly annoyed with me, and I went around the table refilling. Nicholas
continued to watch me whenever I went into the room and thanked me whenever I
did something for him. When they were done, I timidly brought the bill and
apologized again for any issue I had caused. The men shrugged into their
jackets and amid their protests, Nicholas paid the bill, leaving cash on the
table as the group left. When they walked past he looked at me, giving me a
small smile, and then they were gone.
Once I was alone in the room I felt like I could finally breathe
again. That had been more stress than I expected for a brunch service. I
cleared the plates and picked up the billfold, then I blinked as I checked the
amount left behind. My jaw fell open as I realized that Nicholas had left their
clumsy, bumbling waitress a two hundred dollar tip. I stared at the door they
had passed through and found myself wondering who Nicholas was and why he had
been so kind to me.
Wow! Definitely an intriguing read here!
