A seduction agenda blurs the line between work and play in this Brooklyn Nights novel by USA TODAY bestselling author Joanne Rock.
Seduction is the only way to save his company.
But now who’s seducing who?
Could makeup artist Blair Westcott be the corporate saboteur who has infiltrated Deschamps Cosmetics? CEO Lucas Deschamps vows to get closer to her and find out—protecting his family’s business at all costs. But Blair’s beautiful, caring nature is at odds with Lucas’s suspicions. And her kisses spark a passion the guarded businessman can’t resist. As the stakes become much more personal, will he uncover Blair’s betrayal…or be guilty of a betrayal of his own?
From Harlequin Desire: A luxurious world of bold encounters and sizzling chemistry.
In Ways to Tempt the Boss, Blair Westcott is trying to make a name for herself in the cosmetic world. Blair is a talented makeup artist who Cybil personally chose to hire and live at the brownstone. Blaire has an upbeat personality, she’s friendly, everyone loves her, and she loves to bake. It’s nothing for her to show up at work with trays of cookies or other desserts. But Blair’s rays of happiness and sunshine are hiding a painful secret.
Lucas Deschamps is Cybil’s son and only child. While he has his own successful company outside of the fashion and cosmetic worlds, he’s currently splitting his time trying to help his mother save her company. Deschamps Cosmetics is Cybil’s pride and joy, after Lucas, of course. She built the empire after her disastrous marriage to Peter, Lucas’s father ended. Now luxury brand conglomerate DLH Luxe International, headed by none other than Peter is trying to force Cybil to sell to them. Lucas knows his father would do anything to make his mother look bad and take away something she loves wholeheartedly. Lucas suspects DLH has planted a mole within Deschamps, and he believes too good to be true Blair is that person.
Oh, these two! Ways to Tempt the Boss is an enemies to lovers/office romance. Blair and Lucus like to push each other's buttons, but for very different reasons. She puts on a brave face while dealing with a family situation. He thinks she's fake and is really trying to sabotage his mother's company. Their attraction to one another sizzles through the pages. This story really encompasses friendship and girl power. Before moving into the brownstone together, Blair and her roommates Sable and Tana didn’t know each other and came from different backgrounds. But when they need someone, they step up and are there for each other, no questions asked. I really loved that about their friendship.
The next book in the series is The Stakes of Faking It, featuring Tana. I’m looking forward to reading it because Tana has been something of a mystery. I can’t wait to see what she’s all about.
