What inspired you to write your book?<\/h2>\n

The next book in the series is in its editing stages, and it still focuses on Ian and Merideth, because they really are so much fun to write, but it is also the start of Stone’s story and the woman whose presence will change the carefully planned trajectory of his life.<\/p>\n

Here is a short sample from the book:<\/h2>\n

The image of Merideth swinging her fist right at Ian\u2019s cheek flashed through her mind. She wasn\u2019t normally a violent person, but something about the man in front of her pushed at her buttons. \u201cWell then, I suppose I can walk out of your office and out the building without consequence.\u201d The only thing preventing Merideth from doing just as she said was her curiosity. She didn\u2019t think Ian Stirling beckoned her to his office just to question her decision to interview with the entertainment division of his own newspaper.
\n\u201cJust ask her already, Ian, before she takes a swing at you. Which she\u2019s going to do anyway once you make you make your offer. You don\u2019t want to get hit twice.\u201d Jason piped up from the couch and this time Merideth craned her neck around and narrowed her eyes at him.
\nHow had he known she fantasized about hitting Ian?
\n\u201cMs. Gardner.\u201d Ian\u2019s voice grabbed her immediate attention.
\n\u201cMerideth.\u201d She responded without any thought.
\nIan stretched out in his chair and Merideth couldn\u2019t help but notice his nicely toned body. It was too bad his body was attached to his mouth.
\n\u201cI have a proposition for you.\u201d
\nMerideth blinked her eyes once. Slowly. \u201cWhat are the parameters of the proposition?\u201d
\nOnce more Jason snickered behind her.
\n\u201cMy grandfather is arriving tomorrow and will be staying for one week.\u201d
\nAgain, Merideth blinked her eyes slowly. \u201cAnd I should be interested in this because?\u201d
\n\u201cHe hasn\u2019t been pleased with some of my decisions lately.\u201d
\nThis time instead of snickering, Jason snorted, as though he was trying to stifle laughter.
\n\u201cIf you agree to assist me for the duration of his visit, I will guarantee you a position at the national news desk.\u201d
\nMerideth was positive she didn\u2019t hear Ian right. She could have sworn he promised her a coveted position at his newspaper if she agreed to be his assistant for one week. \u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019d make a very good assistant.\u201d
\nThe guffaw coming from Jason echoed around the room. Apparently, he was past trying to hide his amusement.
\nIan raised his eyebrows and almost smiled at her. \u201cI believe you\u2019ve misunderstood me, Ms. Gardner.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n

Rich. Powerful. Sexy.<\/p>\n

Never a good combination when found in a man – and Ian Stirling, publisher of the Daily Herald, possesses all of them in excess.<\/p>\n

Merideth Gardner leaves her interview at the Daily Herald ready to give up on her dream of working for a daily city paper when fate intervenes. All she has to do is help Ian convince his grandfather that he’s given up his philandering ways.<\/p>\n

Seven days. She only has to pretend she’s in love with Ian for seven days. And on the seventh day she’ll get her prize – a place on the features desk.<\/p>\n

It’s a simple business transaction. An exchange of services. But then the story changes and Merideth finds herself doing the one thing she knows she can’t do – she falls for Ian.<\/p>\n

Will Ian go on the record with his feelings for Merideth? Or is their relationship destined to be off the record?<\/p>\n
