Daydreams and Night Scenes
Have you ever been in such an embarrassing situation that you just wanted to shrink down small enough to crawl beneath the woodwork? That’s how our heroine, Miranda Stuart, feels immediately following a seduction scene gone awry.
She’s lushly built, hauntingly beautiful, career oriented and extremely intelligent. “So how did she get herself into this situation?” you might ask. Easy. It was all because of a teenage crush on a man who was way out of her league. Meeting up again years later on equal ground at a posh city resort, they seem to hit it off and she determines to finally get her fantasy night in this mans’ arms.
But when the night's magic should have begun, unbeknown to him, our dashing, billionaire playboy hero, Alexander Denning, enters the seduction scene with bright lights blaring and another woman in tow. Thinking Miranda is just an acquaintance he recently met in the bar, he chastises, humiliates and threatens her before she has a chance to get away. As he belatedly finds out the next morning, he doesn’t even know her name! Miranda is dearly hoping it stays that way.
Used to women throwing themselves at him at every opportunity, he shouldn’t have been so surprised by the seduction set-up, but he finds he can’t get the memory of this particular woman out of his mind and is determined to find her. He tells himself it’s because he wants to exact his revenge for the invasion of privacy, not because the remembrance of her in sexy lingerie has him mesmerized.
Miranda is just as determined to avoid Alex, but destiny prevails. He finds her and blackmails her into being his temporary fiancé as restitution for her gaffe. Four months into a false engagement, an angry and frustrated Alex is no closer to knowing the real Miranda and decides to dissolve their agreement, unaware that she is keeping secrets.
