About this ebook

FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

“This book will make your heart smile.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author

This sparkling debut dives right in to everything funny, flirty, and fiery about modern dating with the tale of a sexy singles auction that comes with the prize of a lifetime...

As far as Cherry Ryan is concerned, the bright lights of Hollywood are nothing but glare after her heart is broken on a reality show for millions to see. Instead she’s throwing herself into fundraising for the local community center that was a priceless lifeline to her as a kid. But when a volunteer for the singles auction bails at the last minute, Cherry finds herself on the block—and sold to Jason Valentine, a handsome contractor with a gorgeous body—and a really bad attitude about her days in the limelight...

Cherry soon finds that Jason’s more than eye candy, and not entirely sweet—especially his quest to win the bid for the center’s renovation. Mixing business with pleasure doesn’t seem like such a good idea—until Jason has a chance to reveal the big heart beneath his surly exterior. Cherry’s falling for him hard, but trust isn’t easy when you’ve been burned. To conquer her fears will take a giant leap of faith—straight into the spotlight again...

Ratings and reviews

Awesome read. This one had me hooked from the beginning and was completely entertaining. Cherry Ryan just wants to keep her head down and work on getting the community center up and running. After a humiliating stunt on a reality tv show, she's just trying to get through one day at a time. When she finds herself on the auction block at a fundraising event she can't believe it. When she finds out her "date", Jason Valentine, is a contractor wanting the bid on the community center she feels used all over again. But it seems Jason wants more than just the contract and is willing to do what it takes! This one is very well written with a great pace to the story and some wonderful characters. I definitely recommend this one!

Loved it from the beginning until the end!

Wonderful story

About the author

Gail Chianese's love of reading began at the tender age of three, when she'd make her grandpa read Fourteen Country Rabbits over and over and over again (and correct him when he skipped parts). While she's branched out over the years by reading mystery, women’s fiction, and urban fantasy, she always circles back to romance in the end. That's probably because she's married to her real‑life hero. Her wonderful hubby has served in the US Navy for the past twenty‑two years and he’s done things he can’t tell her about. But it doesn’t stop her from being extremely proud of him and the sacrifices he makes for her, his family, and his country. He’s also über‑supportive of her dreams and of their three children. Living in Mystic, CT and a member of Connecticut Romance Writers of America, Gail loves to hear from readers.
