Woke by @peggy_jaeger is an April 99c Sale Event pick #99cents #romcom #laterinliferomance #romance



Title: WOKE


Author: Peggy Jaeger


Genre: RomCom, Later in Life Romance, NYC romance, Socialite romance, Modern Fairy Tale


Book Blurb:


Waking up each day is a gift…. On her 21st birthday, someone slipped a potent drug combination into socialite Aurora Brightwell’s champagne putting her in a coma for the next ten years. It’s been a long road back, and it’s time to reclaim the life she lost and find out exactly what happened on that fateful night. Financier Kincade Enright has his own reason for helping Aurora discover who poisoned her, but for the time being he’s keeping that - and his true identity - to himself. What he can’t keep hidden though, are his growing feelings for the one-time paparazzi darling and party-girl. When this prince of finance joins forces with the former sleeping beauty, nothing can stop them from finding the answers they seek…or prevent the powerful emotions developing between them as they search for the truth.


Excerpt:


“Mr. Enright,” I said when he stood and held my chair. “Thank you.”


He sat after I did, earning an approving, eyebrow raised perusal from my mother. “You’re welcome, and it’s Cade,” he said, his head tipping close to mine. The subtle scent of man and soap drifted over me and I had to restrain myself from leaning in closer for a more thorough whiff. A warm, masculine scent is always so much more appealing than aftershave or cologne.


While I put my napkin in my lap, he kept his head inclined and said softly, “You’re probably wondering how I wound up at your table.


I lifted my water glass and before taking a sip said, “It had crossed my mind since I know for a fact you were at table twenty. Since I don’t see Dominic Dupont I’m guessing you switched with him.”


His gentle exhale sounded…amused. I snuck a side eye his way and saw I was correct. The corners of his mouth were pulled in and up and for the first time I noticed a tiny dimple wink back at me.


“Dominic’s father is one of my clients,” Enright said, “and when I told him I wanted to sit at your table he agreed to switch.”


“How did you know this was my table?”


“I asked Ms. Spring.”


I peeked over his shoulder to see Dabney chatting with the person on her right. Turning my attention back to the man, I asked, “Why?”


“Why did I ask her, or why did I want to sit at your table?”


“The latter.”


That little crevasse deepened, a twin forming on the opposite side of his mouth when his grin turned to a full-fledged, captivating smile.


Oh, my.


“To paraphrase you, it’s amazing how with millions of people in this city, it can be deceptively small. Twice in one day tells me we were meant to meet, so.”

What makes your featured book a must-read?


I love the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, and if you do, too, you’ll love this modern day retelling-with-a-twist of the classic fable. Aurora Brightwell rises out of the ashes of a coma like a phoenix and once she’s back in the land of the living, she’ll do whatever she has to to ensure her health and life are restored to their full muster. I love a heroine who fights for herself and her life, and if you do, as well, WOKE is a must read for you.

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??!"
