To be honest…I’ve never even worn a pair of heels. And makeup? Way over my head. But my appearance is suddenly the least of my worries, because the client doesn’t seem to have gotten the memo that we’re not actually dating. If my dad knew where Lucien’s hands have been wandering… I know we have to really sell the girlfriend thing so I can investigate his security concerns, but how on earth can he expect me to just melt into him whenever he wants? I’m not about to let his strong touch and soft lips take me over, or lose myself in his deep, dark eyes… But, I’m not totally sure I want to stop him from trying, either. Lucien Adrienne has the kind of strong, dark beauty most men only dream about – thankfully, I don’t have to dream. She’s right here. I don’t know what I was expecting when the security firm I hired suggested an undercover agent…but it certainly wasn’t Adrienne. I mean, I knew she would act as my girlfriend while sniffing out the security risks for my favorite medical patent, and I knew it would be strange to introduce her to my family, especially since I don’t often bring girls around – I just didn’t think it would be this hard. I didn’t expect her to take over my thoughts, my impulses… Adrienne is…irresistible. But, lucky for me, this beautiful woman is at my personal beck and call. Any time I need her, she has to show up.
