Blurb:

A week-long trip. A fake marriage. And seven delicious nights with only one bed in the hotel room.

He's my business partner, my good friend, and the man I've craved for years.

But I've resisted the sexy Brit, and I plan to keep up my walls because I've been there, done that, and I know how much it hurts when you let someone into your heart.

Then an opportunity comes along for us to snag the business deal of a lifetime.

The catch?

We need to pretend we're married to pull off this high-stakes deal.

So the clever, charming man with secrets a mile deep becomes my temporary husband, as we travel around Europe. Soon, we fall into bed, tangled together like newlyweds who can't keep their hands off each other.

One week to explore our fantasies, then we return to who we were.

But when I learn the dark secrets he's been keeping, I doubt we can go back.

Because they change everything.

My One-Week Husband is a standalone romance!

 

Excerpt:

“Are you a doctor?” she counters, but she lets me inspect her injury. 

“I’m the doctor in the room,” I tease.

I ask where it hurts, and she points to her wrist, frowning. I run a thumb gently along that tender spot, that tantalizing place that can drive a woman wild.

If you touch her just right.

Which it seems I am doing, since Scarlett’s breath hitches.

“Daniel,” she whispers, her voice perhaps betraying her. “I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.”

I tuck my finger under her chin, lift it, and meet her gaze. “Are you sure?”

She nods, her eyes a little glossy. “I swear I am.”

“Let’s be certain.”

I lift her wrist to my face, my eyes on hers. Waiting for a sign. Waiting for more.

“Yes, please.”

So I bring her wrist to my lips and press a kiss to my business partner’s skin.

She lets out a low moan.

A groan works its way up my chest, and I swallow it down as I dust my lips over her pulse point.

I close my eyes, inhaling her, savoring the scent of her skin, of her lotion, of her Scarlett-ness.

I should move away. But she’s right here.

Images of last night’s fantasies flicker before me, along with the moment just now in front of the mirror, and how she looked at the reflection of her and me.

I open my eyes.

She nibbles on the corner of her lips, gazing down a me as I look up at her.

Is she thinking the same thing I am?

One kiss.

One taste.

That’s all.

I tamp down the groan in my throat as I breathe in.

Then, I take the next step.

I stand, gently take her uninjured hand, and carefully tug her up.

I reach toward her hair, tucking an errant strand behind her ear, testing to see if she’ll make that sound again.

That gasp. That hitch of her breath.

She does. It’s sensual and erotic, and it goes straight to my cock.

I do the one thing I’ve thought about doing for the last few years. The thing I’ve prided myself on resisting. I move closer, lean in, and press a kiss to her cheek.

It’s the same type of kiss I’ve given her every time we greet each other. But this time, I linger. I don’t back away. I simply brush my lips across her cheek and whisper, “All better now?”

My Review:

5 STARS

Fake Relationship/ Friends-to-Lovers

Scarlett and Daniel are friends and business partners.  They each accept that they have chemistry and attraction to each other, yet they have never acted on ot except for a little flirtation.  That is until they spend a week posing as newlyweds traveling through France to check a chain of small hotels for potential investment.  Then they are unable to stop themselves from becoming so much more, though the road to more is often not easy.  Their story is written in first person from a dual POV.

Scarlett and Daniel both have some baggage.  They have both had their trust broken by someone close to them.  Neither one of them is looking for love or forever.  When they set out on a fling with definite parameters, they do not expect to find so much more in each other.  What they did not count on was having the foundation of a forever relationship already constructed through their friendship, mutual respect, mutual admiration, honestly and patience that they had already developed.  I love that they are both successful businesspeople.  I love that they are honest with each other over tough things in their past.   I love that Scarlett has Nadia for a friend who encourages her to take a chance.  I love that Daniel has Cole, who has known everything about him for so long, and helps him understand what he cannot explain. 

This story has beauty woven throughout it.  It is filled with natural beauty of the settings, the history of the towns they visit, art, and music.  There are layers of beauty mixed with the passion and trust between Daniel and Scarlett that I found mesmerizing.  This story packs five alarm heat, like the Extravagant series.  What I loved the most, however, was reading as Scarlett and Daniel expanded their mutual trust, exposed their secrets, and moved forward to live the life they never imagined they could have.  A beautiful, passionate, love story.
