Excerpt:
“Ms. Dawson,” he said. “Come to insult me some more?”
I took a deep breath, closing my eyes. “No. Look, about this morning…”
He tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips. “Go on.”
“I’m truly sorry about what I said.”
“Which part?” The corners of his mouth twitched. Oh, this was amusing to him. Good. At least one of us was enjoying this conversation. “You were right. I had been staring at the bottom of a bottle. A bottle of milk that I was feeding to my little girl.”
“I was way out of line. I assumed way too much, and I was completely unprofessional. And I am truly, truly sorry. I had no idea that…”
What was I supposed to say? “You looked like shit because you were probably up all night with your daughter”? I didn’t know how to phrase that politely, so I just didn’t say anything at all.
Goodness, this man was incredibly handsome. We hadn’t been anywhere near this close this morning, so I hadn’t been able to take in all the fine details, like the curve of his chin and his straight nose.
“Listen, I usually don’t act like that,” I said. “I was just mad that I’d been waiting for an hour, and you didn’t seem interested in what I had to say at all.”
Beckett straightened up, his expression suddenly serious. “Yeah, about that. I have to apologize as well. In all honesty, I hadn’t noticed our meeting on the calendar. I usually check my schedule the night before, but with recent events… I didn’t have time.”
“Of course. Is there anything I can do to make up for the way I acted this morning?”
For the first time since I met him, Beckett smiled at me, and I was completely dazed. His smile was absolutely delicious. He had full lips and dimples at the corners of his mouth.
Damn, the man was gorgeous. He was wearing a different suit from this morning. That one had looked great on him, too, but this was perfection.
“There’s no need. I don’t hold grudges, Ms. Dawson.”
“Piper,” I offered. “Please call me Piper.”
He nodded. “Piper it is.”
“You don’t hold grudges?” I asked.
“No.”
“So, I’m forgiven? That easy?” I teased, realizing that probably wasn’t the case.
He tilted his head again. God, I loved that playful smile on his face.
“Were you hoping that I’d make you work for it?”
I laughed nervously. I didn’t even know what I was hoping for.
Blurb:
I’m the last single LeBlanc brother—famous in New Orleans for being a successful CEO…and a total man-whore. Becoming a single dad wasn’t on my to-do list…until my one-night stand drops my newborn daughter on my doorstep.
Suddenly, my world revolves around Charlotte: snuggling, changing diapers, preparing bottles. I’m running on little to no sleep and can barely focus.
So when I space out during Piper’s pitch, she assumes I’m hungover. Given my reputation, I can’t blame her—but it still annoys me. So even though her pitch was great, I kick her out of my office. I don’t need complications. Especially not one as attractive as Piper.
However, gossip travels fast in the French Quarter. When Piper discovers the truth behind my exhaustion and apologizes, I give her a second chance. I invite her to my penthouse to redo the pitch…except I’m far more focused on her cleavage, her smile, and the way she instantly connects with my daughter.
I shouldn’t want Piper. I can’t afford distractions. But the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to remember that she is off limits.
