Book Description
There’s been a mistake… Olympic athlete Sebastian Clarke has six weeks to repair the damage to his reputation or lose the funding he needs to finally win that gold. Working as a sports ambassador in England for the summer is the perfect way to prove to his sponsors that’s he’s still their wholesome hero, and to seal the deal, he’s hired a sweet university librarian to pose as his girlfriend. Cassie is nothing like the Las Vegas showgirls the media stirred the truth with last month, but when she turns up late for their first meeting, Seb didn’t expect to find her with a large plate of food in her hands and a startled look in her eyes. Are you freaking kidding me? Computer-geek Helen Hobbs only borrowed Cassie’s access badge to snaffle a free meal—just her damn luck to be caught red-handed by a hunk of a man who immediately spouts on about contracts, rules and schedules. Helen tells him he’s made a mistake, but a journalist hungry for trash on the disgraced sporting star is already hot on their tail. So, maybe now isn’t a good time to tell Sebastian she’s on probation…nor that she’s under police surveillance for accidentally working with the UK’s most wanted cyber criminal. Forced to hire Helen as his fake-girlfriend, can Sebastian keep this trouble magnet in line before she ruins his career? They have a contract… But who will be the first to break the rules? Author’s Note: Fake relationship. Opposites attract. Snappy, hot banter. Girl in danger. Uptight hero depriving himself of fun times until…he doesn’t. Beautiful English countryside. Kick-ass, trouble-magnet heroine who keeps pushing the hero’s buttons. Occasional F-bombs. Steam Level: Hot and with a purpose. Pace: Nail-biting. Feels: ALL.OF.THEM. This 90,000 word novel can be enjoyed as a stand-alone or as part of Giulia Skye’s interconnected Take a Holiday series.

Book Description
Meet Dr. Shelley Green – newly minted pediatrician. After graduating medical school at the top of her class, Shelley is hired by Madison Pediatrics, the Upper East Side's most exclusive practice. Suddenly this self-described ‘schlumpy girl from Jackson Heights' is thrown into the world of the rich, famous, and very neurotic. Her life is about to change in a big way. Hyper-parenting has reached epidemic proportions -- and Madison Pediatrics is its over-privileged epicenter. Shelley, a superb doctor with a kid-friendly touch and a genius for diagnosis, quickly becomes the Upper East Side's latest must-have accessory, the darling of the fabulously-wealthy-with-kids crowd. Now she's slimming down, dressing up in Fendi and Prada, and weekending in the Hamptons. No wonder Arthur – her adorable schoolteacher fiancé – is baffled. Enter Josh Potter – blueblood hunk who never seems to have his checkbook around. What he does have is charm, connections, and enough sex appeal to set Shelley's head spinning. Before long, Shelley's plate is way too full: men and medicine, elite nursery schools and rooftop swimming pools. Can she handle it all without losing her soul? Find out in this delicious dose of fiction that brims with acerbic wit, dead-on satire, and finally, poignancy and heart.
