Synopsis
Jake Davis had it all in
high school—a scholarship to his college of choice, a promising football
career, and the gorgeous prom queen for a girlfriend. And then he lost it all
when he was injured right after graduation. Ten years later, he’s mostly made
his peace with that, and now runs a company that provides women with dates for
special events. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that the ex who left him
in the dust needs a fake boyfriend for their high school reunion…
Jessica Jackson used to be the mean girl to end all mean girls.
But life didn’t turn out like she’d thought it would, and now she’s
twenty-eight, single, and works as an insurance agent to A-listers instead of
being the A-lister like she’d always dreamed. She can’t go back to her hometown
and admit just how thoroughly she’s failed, so she lets her friends set her up
with a fake date for the reunion.
The second Jessica realizes that her fake date is Jake, she
tries to call the whole thing off. The problem is the chemistry between them is
even hotter now than it was when they were teenagers. Against her better
judgment she lets herself get drawn into Jake’s arms again—and into his bed.
But time doesn’t heal all wounds—sometimes, it actually makes them worse—and if
Jessica and Jake can’t learn to forgive each other, their second chance might
not last the weekend.

Excerpt from PROM QUEEN

Taking a fortifying breath that did nothing to
fortify, she scrolled through her texts to find the number that had shown up
last night. The words were short and to the point.
I’ll pick you up at the airport.
Nothing there to tell what kind of man she’d
ended up with, and she’d been too cowardly to text back anything other than a
generic agreement. Now there was nothing left to stall with. Jessica hitched
her purse higher up on her shoulder and headed through security. The big red
line tiled into the floor was a point of no return in so many ways. Why did I
think this was a good idea?
Her mama didn’t raise a coward, though, so she
lifted her chin and marched forward. No matter who this guy was, she’d faced
down worse. She’d been worse. It couldn’t be more horrifying than the Miss
Texas Teen USA pageant of 2005 where that little brat Misty Brennan cut holes
into her dress and she didn’t realize it until she was out on stage and had her
pink polka dot bra showing to the audience and God. Jessica had powered through
that and walked out with second place, and she’d power through this, too.
She joined the people from multiple flights
crowded around the baggage claim, her body practically vibrating from nerves.
The scent of too many people in too little space assaulted her, but she was
more focused on the faces she didn’t recognize from the plane. Too many, all
filtered in with the travelers—there was no way she’d be able to pick him out
of the crowd. Her date had her picture, so he’d have to be the one to approach.
What if he doesn’t? What if this is just karma giving me one last kick in
the teeth?
Oh, for God’s sake, stop being so dramatic.
“Jessica.”
A thrill shot down her spine, quickly eaten up
by a dread so strong, she wished the ground would open and swallow her whole.
She shot a look at the nearest exit, but if she took off now, she’d have to
admit that she fled instead of turning and facing her Number One Nightmare.
Jake Davis.
Praying she was wrong, she turned slowly to face
him. Nope. That was definitely Jake Davis, ex-quarterback, ex-boyfriend, just
all around ex when it came to Jessica. And he was definitely way better in real
life than he’d been in the pictures she’d seen while she was creeping on him.
Her heart picked up and her body sparked to life in a way it hadn’t in far too
long.
Something like ten years.
She was staring. She couldn’t stop. Jessica
licked her lips, her breath stalling in her lungs when his green eyes met hers.
His eyes had always been one of her favorite features—a true green that
brightened depending on what he was wearing, framed with thick, dark lashes
that had always made her jealous when she was a teenager. Going by those eyes,
Jakes would be judged downright pretty.
At least until you saw the rest of his face. His
hair had darkened over the years, closer to brown than blond, and his lantern
jaw was covered with… “What the hell is that on your face?”
He blinked, the only outward sign that she’d
surprised him.
“Nice to see you too, Jessie.” He touched his
scruff. “A lot’s changed since you left.”
Her gaze jumped to his right shoulder. There was
no outward sign of the injury that had started the end of it all, but then, he
was wearing a light-weight black T-shirt, so it wasn’t like it would show. Focus,
Jessica. “What are you doing here? Are you picking up someone for the
reunion?” There you go. Nice and casual.
“You might say that.” He kept looking at her
like he could see the inside of her head. Another new trick.
She glanced around, trying to be subtle. The
baggage claim had started to clear out, and there weren’t any conveniently
gorgeous men standing around alone. Where was her date? Now would be the
perfect time for him to sweep in and do the job she’d hired him for. “I’m here
with someone.”
“I know.”
She frowned. “What are you talking about?” On
second thought, escaping Jake before she met her date was probably a better
choice. She didn’t want to have to deal with meeting this new guy and trying to
pretend they’d been dating forever. And how was she going to explain how she’d
magically lost him between getting off the plane
and the baggage claim.
Cora’s so-called perfect plan was teetering
toward disaster.
“Your order from Diamond Dates.” He gave her a
slow, knowing grin that she felt all the way to her toes, and offered his hand.
“Jessica Jackson, I’m your date for the reunion.”
