Advertising for Love — Elisabeth Roseland

In the kitchen, in a tux -- and out of it -- he's got the skills to crank up the heat.

When Aisha Anderson hires a professional escort for her company's gala, it's not because she can't get a date. Her fast-track career at Hansen Advertising doesn't give her the time -- and it's the only way to avoid dancing with her creepy, inappropriate co-worker.

To her delight, Greg Williams plays the role of charming, attentive gentleman so well, she could almost believe the sparks between them are real. When he takes her home and demonstrates -- with considerable sexual skill -- that the heat is not her imagination, she can't say no to his request for her number in lieu of payment.

Their hot night continues into a warm breakfast at Greg's favorite back-street diner, where Aisha feels something she hasn't felt for a long time. Part of a couple.

Later, though, when she runs into a former client of his who seems eager to compare notes on his erotic bag of tricks, the sizzle begins to cool in shadows of doubt. Long-term could be a stretch for a man who's dated half the women in Chicago.

Especially when there's the possibility that demand for his services could take him away right when she needs him most…

Warning: This book contains a sexy black man with mad culinary skills, an ad exec with a hunger for something well-cut and lean, and an escort service that knows how to satisfy every woman's appetites.
