Romantic Idea – Spend time together. A bicycle ride with a stop for a picnic lunch on a warm summer day would be my ideal romantic date.
Perfectly Honest Blurb:
You never know
where your words will take you.
When Mikaela
Finn agreed to be Sam’s ‘fiancée’ for a weekend, she probably should have told
him that she’s a doctor. Sam O’Brien, aka ‘Dr. Eye Candy’, is trying to shed
his playboy reputation and convince a small town hospital that he’s ready to
settle down. But when his ‘fiancée’
helps deliver a baby in the middle of the meet and greet, it’s a bit of a
shock. If he’d known the whole truth, he might have done things a little
differently because somehow his ‘fiancée’ ends up stealing his job and his
heart. Not exactly the change he wanted. Lies and deceit – it’s a match made in
heaven!

Perfectly Honest Excerpt
Mikaela woke with a start to the sound
of voices. Disoriented, in unfamiliar surroundings, she looked down at her
short shorts and loose shirt covered with spatters of paint. Painting, of
course. She must have fallen asleep in the chair, and checking her watch, she
saw that it was two o’clock in the morning. Shit. She rubbed her eyes and
yawned. Pulling herself out of the chair, she listened to the voices. One voice
was female, sounding impatient and unhappy and one male, sounding apologetic
and resigned.
“I know it’s not ideal, Sophia, but
it’s what I want. I’m tired of the large city, the tertiary care center, and
all the politics. I’m tired of all the meetings and all the committees. I want
a smaller hospital in a smaller city. I want a life.”
“Nonsense, Sam,” the woman shot back.
“You don’t know what you want or what’s good for you. You need to pay your dues
now to reap the benefits later.”
“Look, I don’t expect you to understand.
I’m grateful you’ve agreed to help me out, but . . . ”
Mikaela wandered into the hallway and
stopped when she saw the two of them at the front door. The woman had
unbuttoned her coat, and as she put her hands on her hips, there was a flash of
the red cocktail dress she wore underneath. The man was a foot taller and
wearing a suit. A very nice fitting suit, Mikaela mused, as she came up behind
him.
The woman noticed Mikaela first, and
her startled gasp had the man looking over his shoulder. Mikaela wasn’t sure
who looked more shocked, the man, who moved to shield the woman, or the woman,
who raked her gaze over Mikaela from head to toe. As Mikaela fought the urge to
straighten her shirt and fix her hair, she decided, definitely, the woman.
The woman’s eyes narrowed, the hands on
her hips became clenched at her sides, and her face flushed red. Mikaela held
her breath.
The woman pushed at the man’s shoulder
and spun him around to face her. “Why you! You! 'I can’t invite you in, the
house is being painted,'” she mimicked. “Is that the new code word for
'mistress?' You could have just told me we were through. Well, I’m done. This
is the last straw. You pig!” The woman spun on her heel and wrenched the door
open.
“Sophia, wait!”
“No, wait,” Mikaela added. She lurched
forward, now wide-awake.
The woman stormed out and slammed the
door.
The man turned to Mikaela. “Who the hell are you?”
