Accidental Sex Goddess
by Lexi Ryan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Promotions director Reese Regan isn’t a sex
goddess and doesn’t want to be. But the job of her dreams requires enrollment
in the renowned Sex Goddess 101. To avoid a trip to the unemployment line,
Reese must pass the program and become Chicago’s next seductress—or at least
fake it convincingly. Her best friend, the ruggedly sexy contractor Ben Hawk,
helps her “fake” her way through the program, and the heat between them flares.
When trust is broken and secrets are revealed, it appears they’ve traded
years-long friendship for temporary passion. Will faking something so important
cost them their chance at something real?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
Ben stifled a
grin. “Please tell me she’s making you burn your bras.” He signaled to the door
with his thumb. “I think I have some lighter fluid at the house.”
“What? Of course
she’s not.” She scowled. “Cripes. I hope not.”
Ben’s eyes
dropped south for a second. “You know, bras are a sign of repression.”
She rolled her
eyes. “Stop being a dork, and read the letter.”
Ben frowned.
“You’re taking this program more seriously than I thought you would.”
Reese snorted.
“No, I’ve just gotten really good at faking it.”
“The new outfit
doesn’t look fake. Or the makeup.” He crossed his arms, realizing what had been
bothering him since she walked in the door. “I thought you hated contacts.
Where are your glasses?”
She waved a hand
dismissively. “Just read it.”
Say goodbye to
your panties. For the next week, you’ll be going commando, forcing your mind to
acknowledge the parts of your body too often left as an afterthought.
He grunted. “No
wonder my guys want their wives to sign up.”
“Spoken like a
true male. Foregoing underwear isn’t sexy, it’s…it’s…unsanitary.”
He shook his
head. “It’s sexy.”
“What if I’m
doing yard work?”
“Sexy.”
She crossed her
arms. “Or I’m working out?”
“Still sexy.”
Reese leaned
forward. “Or want to wear a skirt?”
Ben narrowed his
eyes. “Now you’re just tormenting me.”
