New York City – Present Day

Chef Lincoln Cress recently discovered that he was the illegitimate son of billionaire Phillip Cress Sr., which brought into his life not only a father he never knew but a stepmother and four half-brothers. This is why he is currently in New York City, to see if he will feel comfortable around his new family enough to consider a move to the city and join the company. But Lincoln needs a fake date for a meet and greet with the family and decides to settle on the pretty private eye who discovered him. Bobbie Barnett is as cool as they come but there are definitely some sizzling sparks between them.

Bobbie’s long-term marriage recently fell apart after she found out her husband was cheating on her. As a detective who specializes in outing straying spouses, it was a huge blow to her. Not that she is still in love with her ex. When Lincoln presses her to pretend to be his girlfriend while he’s in the city getting acquainted with his family, Bobbie’s first instinct is no. He is not happy with her in the first place in tracking him down because she lied to him, so why spend time with her? Yet, she realizes that his life has changed drastically, and maybe being there as moral support will be a good thing. Being around him only enforces what she’s known since shortly after they met: they have an undeniable sexual attraction.

Lincoln and Bobbie would appear to be the last couple to be attracted to each other in AN OFFER FROM MR. WRONG, but they are. Bobbie has taken over the running of the private investigation firm founded by her father and is building it into something better. She loves her job, and while she wouldn’t mind having a husband and children someday, she is over marriage after her divorce. Bobbie thinks Lincoln is rude and crude, while he can’t get over the fact that she lied to him when they first met in England at his restaurant. Yet, despite the hostility, there are sparks between them. Once they are once again in each other’s orbits, they can’t help but kiss…and do much more. AN OFFER FROM MR. WRONG is a sensual tale that will have readers reaching for an icy cold drink while reading the love scenes.

AN OFFER FROM MR. WRONG takes place over several months as the road to love between Lincoln and Bobbie won’t be easy. Add in the dynamics of Lincoln getting to know his family, then readers will find this one an emotional tale. If you love your books hot and emotional, then don’t miss this tale.
