Over the past several months, readers have contacted me regarding the availability of a previously published novella called The Sweetest Deal. The book has been revised and is now Book One of the Best Intention series, a collection of novellas set in a business environment where negotiations and deals turn personal…
The Sweetest Deal—Ian Woodford is about to close the most important business transaction of his life and realize his father’s dream—all he has to do is agree to one request: give the man who’s controlling the deal a grandchild. The proposition is every level of wrong, but an arrangement like this would honor his father’s memory, and while Ian can never replace the child he lost, it would give him an opportunity for another child, this time without the encumbrance of a wife. But the more time he spends with C.C., the more he realizes he wants her for more than a way to get a deal and a child…
C.C. aka Catherine Crowell gave up on dreams of a family after Mr. Worse-Than-Wrong broke her heart. Hiding behind spreadsheets, and oversized suits, she’s determined to show her business-mogul father she’s capable of taking over his company and won’t be fooled by smooth talking liars again. Her work has become her life, and while she’d love a child, that’s not going to happen. When Ian Woodford, the company’s newest business partner, shows interest in her, C.C.’s more than a little suspicious, and determined to find out if his intentions are real, and what she plans to do about it if they are…or aren’t. It’s going to get messy and once the truth come out, as it always does, it will take more than one matchmaker to consummate the sweetest deal.
