What's inside: A billionaire alpha boss, a feisty heroine, San Francisco smog, a wedding from hell in Kentucky, steam, spice, sex, cat fights, friendships, and a happily ever after ending.
SABRINA
I was minding my own business and living my best life, when out of the blue, Blair Callahan calls me.
‘I’m marrying your dad. Yay!’ she announces happily.
Here’s the problem with that cheerful announcement. Blair Callahan and I are old enemies. Bitter enemies. We hate each other. She bullied me mercilessly at high-school and made my life a total misery. She hasn't apologized and I haven't forgiven her.
I’m not even over the shock of the repulsive idea of her being married to my dad, when she drops the next piece of ‘good news’. She wants me to be one of her bridesmaids.
When I protest, she pulls out the, ‘but your father will be so happy’ card. Manipulated, disorientated, and cornered, I agree to the charade.
It would have been fine even then… until she fake-sympathized about my unmarried state. It has been years since I''ve had any interactions with her, but she still knows exactly which buttons to press to infuriate me. Like clockwork my brain goes into overdrive, and I find myself telling her a preposterous fib. That I do actually have a boyfriend, and it’s pretty serious.
She must have guessed I was lying because she pounced like a cat on an exhausted mouse, and insisted that I bring him along to the wedding.
Sure, it looked bad for me, but thank God, my best friend, Veronica, came up with a cunning plan. All I had to do was ask my gorgeous gay co-worker, Liam Thorpe, to be my pretend boyfriend.
He is fun, witty, and good looking, and since anything is better than turning up without a man to Blair’s nightmare wedding, I send him an email explaining the situation and ask him nicely to be my pretend boyfriend.
I hit send, and am feeling rather proud of myself. Until I realize, awkward, awkward, I’ve accidentally sent the email to the last person in the world I'd want to send such an email to: Mr Cold And Aloof, himself… My boss!
Oh dear… what now?
The New Godfather is a steamy, passionate, dual-point-of-view, standalone romance.
