Book Description:
Julianne Becker is
desperately in love with her boss, Nick Matthews. She has daydreamed about him

finds out how Nick really feels about her.
They embark on a
sexy affair that’s everything Julianne ever dreamed of... except she can’t tell
anyone about it. What will happen if anyone finds out about their secret
relationship? And how will her lifelong best friend, Travis Miller, react when
Julianne begins a relationship with someone who isn’t him?

situations and is intended for mature readers.
Short Excerpt:
Who cared that I didn’t
have anyone to kiss at midnight? The important thing was that this was the end
of an old year and the start of a brand new one, and I had several goals in
mind for this new year. The most important, of course, being Nick. I would find
a way to push past this professional business friendship relationship we had
formed. I would find a way to kiss him, hold him, make love to him in this new
year.
It was my resolution, and
I was determined to make it happen.
Everyone raised their
glasses in the air and counted along, “Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five!
Four! Three! Two! One! HAPPY NEW YEAR!” I glanced over at Lucy, whose lips were
locked to Jake’s, and then Travis, who was kissing Brooke. I smiled, happy for
my friends despite my lack of a man to kiss at midnight, when I felt a tap on
my shoulder.
I turned around, and my
heart stopped as my eyes met Nick’s. Utter shock hit me as I realized that he
was actually here. And he looked fucking sexy in a black suit with a gray shirt
under it, open at the collar. He had just a shadow of a beard, making him look
rugged and manly, and his hair was mussed perfectly in every direction. I was
so dazed that he was standing in front of me that I was rendered momentarily
speechless.
The room suddenly got
very quiet around me, and all I could do was stare at him. His eyes never left
mine as he brought both of his hands up to cup my cheeks and I was certain at
that moment that he was going to kiss me. My heart slammed into my ribs and
then my eyes closed automatically as his lips brushed mine just once. Every
nerve ending in my body was alight with electricity at our connection. He
clutched me close against his chest in a quick embrace. “Happy New Year,” he
murmured, his breath tickling close against my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
And then, as if it had all been a dream, he was gone.
I stood rooted to the
spot, unsure of whether that had really happened or if I had just imagined it,
if I had dreamed it because I wanted it so badly or if all of the champagne had
finally caught up with me and I was hallucinating.
It was like the room had
been on mute for a moment, and suddenly someone had turned the volume back up
to full blast.
“Happy New Year!” Travis
shouted to me, pulling me into a hug and kissing my cheek. I blinked a few times,
trying to focus on what was happening around me, still unsure of what had just
happened.
I shook my head to clear
it, echoing, “Happy New Year,” to Travis.
Lucy hugged me next, and
then Jake and Holly. We all clinked glasses as a group, and I realized that
everyone had been so wrapped up in their own New Year’s kisses that no one had
witnessed mine. Whether or not it was in my mind or it had really happened, it
was my very own New Year’s secret. And that secret, special moment that the two
of us had shared had been perfect, even if it had only been in my mind.
