BLURB Version A:The most beautiful man she’s ever seen is the same one who can ruin everything. The first time Grace Kerrington meets Callan Walker she’s bowled over by his hotness – and his massive sense of entitlement. She can’t believe she’s going to have to deal with his smug commentary (in that sexy Australian accent) on a daily basis, all while trying to convince his ball-busting mother to give her a permanent job. All Callan sees when he looks at Grace is yet another raptor-in-a-suit, wanting to climb the corporate ladder. Sure, she’s sexy, but he has bigger cattle to wrangle – like ensuring his recently deceased uncle’s final wishes are honored. Grace needs this job–she’s all that stands between her little sister and social services. But Callan is a master player – and a master flirt. She was never supposed to succumb to his charm. But there’s a fine line between locking horns and locking other body parts. She cannot fall for him. The game he’s playing with his estranged family is dangerous and dirty. Any idiot can see what’s happening between them can only ever be temporary. But Grace’s heart didn’t get the memo… Warning: contains a hot Aussie who makes even ordinary words sound sexy, a crotch-obsessed poodle, weird Australian cookies, and one fabulous Chanel suit. |
BLURB Version B:The first time I lay eyes on Callan Walker, I know he’ll be trouble. With his smug grin, hot Aussie accent and thousand dollar shoes, he’s just the kind of rich guy who always gets what he wants. And he wants two things: a night of sin, and my cooperation as he outmaneuvers his powerful mother to take control of his uncle’s estate. I can’t afford either one. I’m the only thing standing between my little sister and the foster care system. He may have money and charm on his side, but I have something even more powerful — pure desperation. This temp job at his mother’s company can become a full time job for me. It has to. But when Callan’s eyes rake over my body, sometimes I forget my obligations. His piercing gaze finds the fun, optimistic girl I used to be and not the tired person I’ve become. And it works–if only for a moment. Our night together was a mistake. I can’t afford to get sucked into his high-powered family’s treachery. But the closer I get to Callan, the more layers I find beneath those expensive clothes. Though I can’t forget this is temporary. He’s temporary. I have too much to lose. Too bad my foolish heart didn’t get the memo… |

Ok, so which blurb did you pick? I was partial to the first one…but let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I adore Bowen, but have been so bad at keeping up with my romance groups. So glad I saw this post. Now adding to my TBR.
So glad you did, too! =)
