Q: What’s a guy to do when the one woman he can’t stop thinking about doesn’t believe he’s got real feelings for her?
A: Take drastic measures.
PIPPA: The idea that my richest and most gorgeous client just proposed to me feels like a crazy joke, or a pitch for some weird reality show. But the thing is, my situation is dire enough that taking Blake up on his offer is a given. I’ll have to keep my wits about me though. Otherwise, the man who’s willing to go through all this to rescue me (because that’s just the kind of guy he is) will be the man I’ll end up falling for harder than I already have.
BLAKE: So, that just happened. I just proposed and saved Pippa's business in one fell swoop. Of course I did. I’ve been protective of her from the very start of our friendship. And now that she’s wearing my ring, protective doesn’t even begin to cover the way I feel. I would’ve stepped up to help her out of the mess either way, and she’ll learn that soon enough. But first things first. Convincing the most stubborn woman alive that I really am in love with her is step one…
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This book, like the other Frisky Business books (Effortlessly Real & Recklessly Real) are told from the heroine’s POV. But unlike the other two, this one also has several chapters in Blake’s POV at the end (you’ll see why). Enjoy! :)
Formerly titled Claiming Her Curves—same characters and storyline, with a less commonly-used title and more fitting cover. This second edition, re-issued in 2019 through Evergreen Books Publishing, contains newly added content, which expanded (by nearly double the word count) the shorter original novella published as Curve Contract in 2012.
