FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The scorching sequel to Beautiful Bastard!Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillons moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a nights fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger. The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that hes ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, its not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if theres someone for him outside of the bedroom. Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

Excerpt from Book Beautiful Stranger One "Youre wearing the silver dress or Im stabbing you," Julia called from the kitchen zone, as Id begun calling it. It certainly wasnt big enough to be labeled a full-fledged kitchen. Id gone from an echoing, rambling Victorian in the Chicago suburbs to an adorable East Village apartment roughly the size of my former living room. It felt even smaller once Id unpacked, put everything in its place, and had my two closest friends come over. The living room/dining room/kitchen area was framed by giant bay windows, but the effect was less palatial and more fishbowl. Julia was only visiting for the weekend, for this night of celebration, but shed already asked me at least ten times why Id chosen such a tiny place. The truth was, I chose it because it was different from anything Id ever known before. And because tiny apartments were pretty much what you were going to find in New York when you moved there without first securing a place to live. In the bedroom, I tugged on the hem of the miniature, sequined dress and stared at the extreme amount of blindingly pale leg I was offering up tonight. I hated that my first instinct was to wonder if Andy would think it was too revealing, while my second instinct was to realize I loved it. Id have to delete all of those old Andy programs, immediately. "Give me one good reason why I shouldnt wear this." "Cant think of one." Chloe walked into the bedroom wearing a deep blue number that flowed around her like some kind of aura. She looked, as usual, unbelievable. "Were drinking and dancing, so showing some skin is requisite." "I dont know how much skin I want to show," I said. "Im dedicated to my freshly minted single-girl card." "Well, some of the women there will be showing bare ass, so you wont stand out if thats what youre worried about. Besides," she said, pointing to the street below, "its too late to change. The limos here." "You should be showing bare ass. Youre the one whos been naked-sunbathing and day-drunk in a French villa for the past three weeks," I said. Chloe gave a little secret smile and tugged my arm. "Lets go, gorgeous. Ive spent the past few weeks with the BB. Im ready for a night out with the girls." We piled into the waiting car and Julia popped the champagne. With just one tingling, bubbling gulp, the entire world around me seemed to evaporate until we were just three young friends in a limo barreling down the street to celebrate a new life. And this night we werent just celebrating my arrival: Chloe Mills was getting hitched, Julia was visiting, and the newly single Sara had some living to do. The club was dark, deafening, and filled with writhing bodies: on the dance floor, in the halls, against the bar. A DJ spun music from a small stage, and flyers plastered all across the front promised that she was the newest and hottest DJ Chelsea had to offer. Julia and Chloe seemed entirely in their element. I felt like Id spent most of my childhood and adult life so far at quiet, formal events; here it was as if Id stepped out of the pages of my quiet Chicago story and into the quintessential New York tale instead. It was perfect. I shoved my way up to the bar--cheeks flushed, hair damp, and legs feeling like they hadnt been properly used like this in years. "Excuse me!" I shouted, trying to get the bartenders attention. Though I had no idea what any of it actually meant, Id already ordered slippery nipples, cement mixers, and purple hooters. At this point, with the club at maximum density and the music so loud it shook my bones, he wouldnt even look up at me. Admittedly, he was slammed and making such a small number of tedious shots was annoying. But I had an intoxicated, newly affianced friend burning a hole in the dance floor, and said girlfriend wanted more shots. "Hey!" I called, slapping the bar. "Sure is doing his best to ignore you, int he?" I blinked up--and up--at the man pressed close to me at the crowded bar. He was roughly the size of a redwood, and nodded toward the bartender to indicate his meaning. "You never yell at a bartender, Petal. Especially not with what youre going to order: Pete hates making girly drinks." Of course. It would be just my luck to meet a gorgeous man just days after swearing off men forever. A man with a British accent to boot. The universe was a hilarious bitch. "How do you know what I was going to order?" My grin grew wider, hopefully matching his, but most likely looking a lot tipsier. I was grateful for the drinks Id already had, because sober Sara would give him monosyllables and an awkward nod and be done with it. "Maybe I was going to get a pint of Guinness. You never know." "Unlikely. Ive seen you ordering tiny purple drinks all night." Hed been watching me all night? I couldnt decide if that was fantastic, or a little creepy. I shifted on my feet and he followed my movements. He had angled features with a sharp jaw and a carved hollow beneath his cheekbones, eyes that seemed backlit and heavy, dark brows, a deep dimple on his left cheek when the grin spread down to his lips. This man had to be well over six feet, with a torso it would take my hands many moons to explore. Hello, Big Apple. The bartender returned, then looked at the man beside me expectantly. My beautiful stranger barely raised his voice, but it was so deep it carried without effort: "Three fingers of Macallans, Pete, and whatever this lady is having. Shes been waiting a spell, yeah?" He turned to me, wearing a smile that made something dormant warm deep in my belly. "How many fingers would you like?" His words exploded in my brain and my veins filled with adrenaline. "What did you just say?" Innocence. He tried it on, smoothing it over his features. Somehow he made it work, but I could see from the way his eyes narrowed that there wasnt an innocent cell in his body. "Did you really just offer me three fingers?" I asked. He laughed, spreading out the biggest hand Id ever seen on the bar just between us. His fingers were the kind that could curl around a basketball and dwarf it. "Petal, youd best start with two." I looked more closely at him. Friendly eyes, standing not too close, but close enough that I knew he had come to this part of the bar specifically to talk to me. "You give good innuendo." The bartender rapped the bar with his knuckles and asked for my order. I cleared my throat, steeling myself. "Three blow jobs." I ignored his irritated huff and turned back to my stranger. "You dont sound like a New Yorker," he said, grin fading slightly but never leaving his constantly smiling eyes. "Neither do you."
