The Fix Up by Tawna Fenske
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 14th December 2015
BLURB:
Uncovering this sexy geek’s charm is easy. Keeping her hands off of him is impossible.
While he may look like the love child of a movie starlet and an NFL linebacker, Ben Langley has the people skills of a half-drowned porcupine. Why socialize when there are chemistry labs and bad sci-fi flicks? If he has any hope of taking the helm as CEO of the family business, Ben needs an image makeover. Pronto.
Enter Holly Colvin, owner of First Impressions public relations and branding firm, and the woman who just saved Ben from the clutches of an over-attentive sales clerk. Holly’s rebranded hundreds of companies in her career, but she’s never rebranded a person. The guy clearly needs help, though, and she’s just the woman for the job.
With the clock ticking for them both, Holly and Ben face off over wardrobe malfunctions and business jargon that sounds a lot sexier than it should. But can Holly make Ben into the man he thinks he should be without losing the man she’s starting to love?

The saleswoman turned
and scurried away, leaving Ben to stare down at the wife now affixed to his
arm. She tucked her hair behind her ear and glanced the direction the
saleswoman had retreated.
“I hope I read that right.” The brunette scooted out from under his arm, and he instantly missed her softness. She looked up at him with those odd violet-gray eyes and smiled. “You looked like you were being eaten alive there, but too polite to tell her to back off.”

“Eaten alive,” he
repeated, a little mesmerized by the woman’s eyes. “I’m not entirely sure.”
“Seemed like that’s what
was going on. Salesgirl sees a big guy with a big budget and big—” she paused,
then gave a small shrug. “Well, sometimes it brings out the worst in women.”
“Thank you,” he said,
meaning it. “I’ve been flying back and forth between cities all week, so I’m a
little jetlagged and distracted. I guess I wasn’t even a hundred percent sure I
was being—uh—”
“Hit on? Ogled? Mentally
undressed?”
“Right.” He cleared his
throat. “Not until you pointed it out. Thanks for the rescue.”
“No problem. Pay it
forward sometime.”
“Is that real? It’s
huge.”
She blinked, then
glanced down at the paperweight-sized rock adorning her ring finger. “Nah, I
keep it in my purse for when I want to avoid getting hit on at ladies’ night.”
“Does it work?”
“Not with the real
jackasses, which probably defeats the purpose, huh?”
He nodded, not sure what
to say to that. “I’m sorry, what was your name again?”
“Holly. Holly Colvin.
I’m the owner of First Impressions.”
“First Impressions?”
“We’re a public
relations and branding firm that specializes in creating and remaking corporate
identities.” She fished into her purse to pull out a business card. She held it
out to him and Ben started to reach for it, but Holly withdrew her hand.
“Shit. Vampira the Sales
Queen is headed back here.”
Before he could say
anything, Holly was sliding her hand around to cup his ass. For a few beats, he
thought she was copping a feel, and he hoped like hell she kept doing it. Then
he realized she was tucking her card into his back pocket. She grinned and
tilted her head back to look up at him.
“Gotta commit to the
role, right?”
“Right,” he murmured,
staring down into those slate-speckled eyes. “We certainly do.”
“I suppose we could
throw in a little something extra if you really want her to buy it.”
“Like what?”
Her lips parted
slightly, almost like she was braced for a kiss. Or was that his imagination?
It seemed hot in here, and he was getting dizzy, and now all he could think
about was claiming those perfect lips.
“I’m sure you’ll come up with something,” she
murmured.
Her mouth looked so
soft, so inviting, and he could have sworn her lashes fluttered low the way
they might if she were waiting for him to make a move. A big move.
He knew what he needed
to do. What he wanted to do.
And with that, he bent
and kissed her.
