Here's a blurb...
Eccentric
heiress, Victoria Armington, has died and left her vast fortune to her pet pig,
Matilda. Now three Armington descendants have been chosen to compete for
custody of the pig…and control of the money. Then there’s the lawyer in charge
of overseeing the competition, and his two best friends, who arrive to make
sure nothing goes wrong.
Heiress #3: Bailey Tenant – The Forgotten
Heiress
Once upon a time, songwriter Bailey Tenant’s mother was cut off from the Armington family for daring to love the wrong person. Bailey doesn’t want anything to do with them now, but she has a mountain of medical debt, and without that fortune her grandchildren could still be paying it off. When Grammy-winning singer Jackson Stone shows up to escort her to Palm Cove, she agrees to compete. She just never expected the most dangerous aspect of the competition would be losing her heart to Jackson.
Jackson Stone lost the love of his life in a fiery plane crash and then he lost the music. He has to find a way to reawaken the muse, and helping his friend oversee The Heiress Games might work. Soon, Bailey Tenant is reviving his buried heart and tempting him to see forever again. Bailey and Jackson have both vowed to avoid love, but sometimes there’s no choice but to surrender to the promise of a fortune in love.
In the midst of it all,
there’s a saboteur at work. Someone who might stop at nothing to make sure no one wins.
And here's an excerpt showing how Bailey & Jackson meet....you'll love it!
Chapter One
Jackson Stone watched in reluctant fascination as Marilyn
Monroe slowly stripped right in front of him. The screen goddess reached up and
removed her platinum-blonde wig, revealing a skullcap underneath. He found
himself holding his breath as her arm rose again, this time to pluck the cap
off her head. A few strategic bobby pins later and a mass of ginger-colored
curls spilled across her creamy-white shoulders. It was like watching a curtain
of cinnamon rain down on a frothy cappuccino.
Raining cinnamon?
Where had
that come from? He must be out of his mind.
The striptease continued as Marilyn reached under the hem
of her iconic white dress. Jackson caught a glimpse of a shapely thigh as she
flicked a fastener and began rolling a silk stocking down her leg.
Old-fashioned garters…
He shifted on the couch as a part of him that had mostly
been dead for the last year stirred to life. Heat washed over him as a savage
want surged through his veins.
Two days
ago Jackson’s best friend, Cameron Reed, had asked for a favor. A high-priced
lawyer with a large estate to probate, Cam needed help looking after three
women who were possible heiresses to an immense fortune. Jackson didn’t know
the whole story about the will. He did know there was some kind of competition…and
a pig was involved…somehow.
Jackson
had been cursing his friend for sending him on this fool’s mission ever since
he left Miami, but now he didn’t know whether to be grateful…or run like hell. He
hadn’t traveled to the outskirts of New Orleans expecting to take part in a
peep show. Then again, he hadn’t expected to find a fake, long-dead actress
taking off her clothes, either.
He should
alert her to his presence.
Yeah…absolutely,
positively should do that.
Then
she raised both arms to her chest and Jackson forgot all about being a
gentleman. Except, instead of untying the top, she reached inside and removed
what looked like two huge, raw chicken breasts.
Jackson’s
startled laughter filled the room.
