Dirty Damsels by @peggy_jaeger is a Beach Reads Event pick #romance #beachreads #giveaway



Title: DIRTY DAMSELS


Author: Peggy Jaeger


Genre: Women’s Fiction, NYC romance, Modernday Fairytale


Book Blurb:


What if Cynderella had a one-night stand with a man named Prince?


When I first saw Cynderella all covered in soot in that sexy maid uniform, I knew I wanted to be her Prince. She's a smart and savvy businesswoman who's built her cleaning company from the ground up.


But now that Dirty Damsels was booming, I've been hired to arrange a hostile takeover. But the temptation of having her was too much to ignore...


We ended up spending one night together--a night neither of us will forget. Now, I want more. I need more. I want to spend every night, skin-on-skin, with my beautiful Ella.


Problem is, when she finds out who I really am, she'll never forgive me.


Excerpt:


The bathroom door opened.


In his tailored suit he’d been impressive and striking. With a white bulky towel wrapped around his waist, and the humidity in the bathroom sluicing off his damp torso, he was downright magnificent. Those wide and solid shoulders tapered down into biceps I could tell regularly attended a gym with him, and then into forearms corded with strong sinew and veins.


“I-I’m sorry,” I stammered. “I’m almost done. I’m sorry.” I blushed again and I cursed my fair skin. But really, how could I not blush and stutter when faced with this unbelievable specimen of hotness standing five feet away from me, all wet and hard muscled and gorgeous?


He moved like a panther across the rug, soundlessly stalking, as if playing with his prey, until he came to the opposite side of the bed.


He took one corner of the sheet in his hand and yanked it. “Do you have enough on your side?”


Speech was impossible because I knew I’d start blabbering again, so I nodded and tucked the sheet under the mattress.


“Hospital corners.” He nodded and then mimicked my motions. “I love a tight sheet.”


I couldn’t help but stare at the way his biceps swelled when he lifted the mattress as if it weighed nothing, and shot the sheet under it. Nor could I forgo glancing at the thick mat of black hair crisscrossing from one side of his pecs to the other and then down, disappearing below the towel. And I’d have to have been struck blind and stupid – which I’m neither – not to notice and admire the trim, tight waist and abdomen the towel was securely wrapped around.


At least I prayed it was securely wrapped.


I grabbed the comforter, shook it out and he helped me place it over the bed.


“Toss me one of those,” he commanded when I grabbed a pillow and began tugging the case on.


He caught both in midair.


The bed made, I turned to tell him about the platter of food, but stopped before the words could leave my throat. He’d moved without a sound again, coming to stand so close to me I could smell the citrus scent of the soap he’d used wafting off his body.


He placed a hand on my shoulder and gave it a little squeeze. I swear my body temperature went up ten degrees. I figured by now I resembled one of those cartoons where the character’s head turns beet red and then explodes upward.


“Thanks, Cinderella.” A devilish grin tripped across his tired face. “But I need to crash now, so…”


I truly could have stood there for the rest of the afternoon basking in his hotness, but I got the hint.


I nodded and made one last visual sweep of the room.


“Do you want me to close the blinds?” I asked, turning back just in time to see him drop the towel and slide – gloriously naked – into the freshly made bed.


Holy Mother of God. The man had a butt made for grabbing. Two perfect, round, and tight cheeks dipped from that narrow waist, leading downward to two thick and powerful thighs. Since his back was to me he didn’t notice my jaw hanging open to my knees while he burrowed under the comforter.


“Mmm…sure. Thanks, Cinderella.”


Even half asleep his voice made my heart skip a few beats and my girlie parts go zing.

Author Biography:


Peggy Jaeger writes contemporary romances and rom coms about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who can’t live without them.


Family and food play huge roles in Peggy’s stories because she believes there is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal…or two…or ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving, Peggy brings all aspects of life into her stories: life, death, sibling rivalry, illness, and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through her books, she has created the families she wanted as that lonely child.


As a lifelong diarist, she caught the blogging bug early on, and you can visit her at peggyjaeger.com where she blogs daily about life, writing, and stuff that makes her go "What??!"
