The Dating Proposal Author:Lauren Blakely *One woman on a dating quest. One man in need of a relationship guru. One — wild proposal neither can resist.* — Watch out world ? I?m ready to date again. — The seven years I invested in my ex left me with nothing but scorch marks — from the way he peeled out and left me at the altar. I?m not looking to put — my heart into a relationship any time so... more »on.
What I* am* looking for? To have some freaking fun. My best friends can?t
wait to set me up with suitable single guys, and soon I?ve got three
promising prospects. Then I bump into Chris?.
Clever and funny, with a sexy surfer?s bod and a brilliant nerd brain, he
has just the right screwdriver to fix my hard drive. (Yes, the one for my
computer.)
I wouldn?t mind dating him. The trouble is he just proposed to me?to be the
new dating guru on his TV show?and I said yes.

*Don?t get your honey where you get your money.*
I?d make a sign or put that mantra on a tattoo, except I?m not likely to
forget it, given that the last time I mixed business with pleasure, it
almost tanked my career. Now? I play by the book.
That hasn?t been a problem until McKenna. She?s engaging and fun, quick
with a snapback or a sensitive, sensible reply?perfect for my TV show. Too
bad she?s also perfectly kissable.
But I lock my feelings down. We?ve both worked too hard on our careers to
let our connection go further than some sexy banter?and, okay, one
impulsive, fantastic kiss?no matter how much our boss, our fans, and our
friends propose we make our on-screen chemistry an off-screen romance.
What happens when you meet the right person at the wrong time?
Note: Back in the day, I wrote a book called TROPHY HUSBAND, and though
it?s no longer available for sale, the characters of Chris and McKenna
seemed to demand another chance in the spotlight. THE DATING PROPOSAL is a
complete reimagining of their romance, with 85 percent brand-new material,
a fresh plot, and vastly expanded characterizations so you can come to know
and love Chris and McKenna like I do. Enjoy!« less
