Hi- I'm back - sort of accidentally took the month of April off from blogging. But I'm back and picking up where we left off. This is my new book - which happens to be an old book. I received my rights back from my original publisher and I am re - releasing it.
Derek is a wealthy businessman who is annoyed with women at the moment - a bad break up. He changes his designer suit to a scruffy pair of jeans and a sweatshirt and leaves the sports car and takes the rusted old Camaro to a dive bar where he meets his buddies who only know him as Derek. (A smidgen of editing to make it fit.)
“Yo, low
life and scum-beings.”
They waved
their beers.
“Barkeep,
whatever they’re drinking I’ll have two of. I’m behind here and gotta get
caught up,” he said as he grabbed a handful of peanuts.
“Thought
you had a date tonight,” said Steve, married with three kids. He spent many
nights hiding out in the bar spending his paycheck on beer and false
conversations.
“Women are
such pains.” Derek tossed some money on the bar and took a gulp of beer.
“Bulletin,”
recently divorced Linc, shouted to the few patrons in the bar. “Derek’s broken
up with his woman of the month.”
Two O’clock with the Billionaire is Daryl Devoré’s latest hot romance. A
contemporary romance sweetened with a bit of vanilla sexcapades.
Where
Derek Davenport is concerned, women only had one thing in mind: trap him into a
marriage. The perfect way out? Hire a courtesan. While partying with his
buddies he places an online ad that reads – Woman Wanted.
Unemployed
and nearing financial desperation, Arianne is forced to step out of her comfort
zone and answers an ad that reads Woman
Wanted. With minimal hours and excellent pay, she accepts the position of
courtesan to a handsome billionaire.
Their
sexual antics cause emotions neither is willing to admit it. Will Arianne and
Derek drive each other crazy…or will they fall in love first?
Note: This
book was previously published by New Dawning Bookfair under the title A Kept
Woman.

Glad to see you back, Daryl. I've been waiting for more of this story, and you don't disappoint!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteSeems they know him well, even if they don't know all the truth about him. Enjoyed the snippet!
ReplyDeleteThey know his alter ego.
DeleteGood for you getting your rights back and publishing it yourself. Great banter between the guys. I hope they don't find out he's a billionaire slumming.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's been a challenge learning how to re-release- clear up some edits - new covers - make epub and mobis. But I think I'm up for the challenge.
DeleteI have a few responses. 1) How does one "accidentally" take a month off? 2) I love your tagline. 3) Their conversation does a great job of delineating his relationship with his fellow tipplers.
ReplyDeleteLOl- well see it's like this - I missed putting up my post then I forgot then I got so far behind I said screw it and gave up. May came along and here I am.
DeleteNice to see you back! April just about got away from me too. This is actually kind of a sad little group- hope at least a few of them find happiness again!
ReplyDeleteIt was one crazy month. Yes - you got the picture I was going for - a sad group of guys.
DeleteThey all seem like princes among men! :)
