In her labors of love, she hopes readers find something to relish, something to think about, and something to love.
Talent? Undeniable.
Charm? In spades.
Looks? Deceptively angelic.
But Jaya Patel is too involved as an at-risk youth counselor to notice Sebastian Beaumont’s talent, charm, or looks.
Until one fated night when he sweeps her off her feet—because she’s clumsy. Tripping over herself is like a second job.
Passion? Undeniable.
Smarts? In spades.
Looks? Absolute kryptonite.
But Sebastian Beaumont is too busy as a rising hockey star to notice Jaya Patel’s passion, intelligence, or beauty.
Until compromising pictures force them to concoct a romantic ruse—because an important fundraising campaign depends on it.
Will they overcome the stark differences in their lives? Can they be together when forces conspire to rip them apart?
This love campaign needs donations in the form of a miracle.
Squinting against the obnoxious winter glare, Sebastian Beaumont assessed the Freedom Community Center. The hockey youth association taking donations was housed here. The building was, in a word,dingy.
He carried a hockey bag full of professional-grade sticks, used and broken, to be donated and refurbished for a local charity program that supported hockey in underprivileged communities. People at the information desk told him to go to the basement and look for Jaya Patel.
The basement was a labyrinth of confusing hallways and locked doors. Hard to imagine such an elaborate system underneath the downtown building. Dingyandconfusing. Great.
Finally, a door ajar. Sebastian placed the donations down to sneak a peek inside.
He saw a woman on her knees, reaching under a desk. She wore snug, black leggings, her round, lifted bottom facing the door. Because he didn’t knock, she had no idea he was there. He meant to announce himself, but got distracted by a funny little squeal of delight as she snatched the elusive item from under her desk then wiggled her backside. Her exquisitely substantial and eminently grabbable backside. An involuntary sound of appreciation burst out of him.
She whipped around suddenly and they both jumped. The woman of South Asian descent narrowed her eyes as she found her footing. “How long have you been standing there?”
