About Make Me Over: A Funny Steamy Makeover RomCom!

The prize on this reality show is one hot, sexy man! Professor Drew Bennett never dreamed he'd become a part of a reality TV show. But the success of his newest book, Beyond Eliza Doolittle, hinges on his participation.

He just hadn't pictured falling hard for one of the contestants... a woman who is his complete opposite. Mechanic Tori Lyons went on the dumb reality show to try to win money to save her no-good brother.

She is in it for the cash, and nothing else. But the chance to win even more, by seducing the sexy professor, is a lure she can't resist. Unfortunately, she's falling for the professor.

And he's falling right back. But when the truth comes out, and he realizes he's merely a prize, will their TV romance come to a screeching halt? This book is a standalone romcom with a feisty heroine and a sexy professor.

It does have a slight link to Leslie's book JUST KILLING TIME. *****“Why have you been avoiding me?” Drew said as he practically hauled Tori out of the kitchen, toward the front stairs.

“I dunno what you mean.” “Like hell you don’t.” When she almost stumbled, he slowed down.

“Why?” “I ain’t been avoiding you.” “Haven’t,” he snapped as they reached the staircase and began to ascend it.

“Haven’t what?” “Haven’t been avoiding you.” “I never said you had.”

Drew almost groaned. Then he saw the sparkle in Tori’s eye and the grin dancing about her pretty lips, and knew she’d been playing him. “Where we going?”

“To someplace where we can be alone to…work.” Work. That’s all.

He was going to work with her. Not kiss her. Not throw her down onto the nearest flat surface and torture her with every sensual trick he knew until she admitted why she’d been avoiding him.

A thumping sound behind them reminded him why he couldn’t. Looking back, he saw Jacey the camerawoman, strolling up the stairs, her camera on her shoulder. Drew glared at her, at the camera, at the television viewers who didn’t even exist yet, but who were already getting in his way.

He considered taking Tori to his room, since it was the only place he felt pretty sure wasn’t bugged. Then he thought better of it. Like it or not, they were on the set of a television show, and their every move was up for interpretation.

If he hauled her into his bedroom right now, in a few months the entire television-watching public would be making up their minds about what had happened behind the closed door. “Come on,” he said. At the end of the hall, the carpeted corridor widened into a small sitting area.

It was somewhat secluded, overlooking the foyer through a railing on one side. The other was dominated by a window with a vista of the expansive east lawn. Two chairs stood in front of the window.

Leading her to one of the chairs, he dropped into the other one. He pulled it closer, until their knees almost touched. Jacey hadn’t quite caught up yet so he leaned close and kept his voice low.

“This isn’t as private as the greenhouse, but it’s the best we can do right now.” She nibbled on her lip. “About the greenhouse…”“Yes?”

She looked over his shoulder, obviously spying the camerawoman. Jacey couldn’t join them in the sitting area, it was too tiny. But she was taping them from a few feet away.

“Nothing,” Tori muttered. He followed her lead. “Good.

You didn’t lose the g.” “Pardon?” “Did you make a noise?”

She laughed, a bright, joyous sound that spilled across her lips and washed over him like something sweet and clean. He began to relax for the first time all day. “You’re bad,” she said.

“Saucy.” “I think the saying ‘it takes one to know one’ might be appropriate here.”
