THE OFFER is a STANDALONE adult contemporary romance and a spin-off of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling novel, THE PACT. You don't need to read The Pact to read The Offer. A few chapters of THE OFFER will be uploaded to WattPad as a preview for those interested in purchasing the book when it releases in June. The whole book will NOT be on WattPad, HOWEVER, I will have the first two books of my paranormal suspense series, Experiment in Terror, up on Wattpad over the next month or so, as well as some (don't laugh) X-men fanfiction I wrote when I was 19 years old. How about that for variety? THE OFFER: Nicola Price used to have it all – a great career, the perfect boyfriend, an excessive shoe collection and an apartment in one of San Francisco’s best neighborhoods. But when she gets knocked up and her asshat boyfriend leaves her high and dry, Nicola’s perfectly crafted world comes tumbling down. And stays that way. Now, Nicola is the proud single mom to a five-year old daughter and living a giant lie. She can barely afford their ghetto apartment and all the men she dates run when they hear she comes with a child. She’s struggling and scared – and nowhere near where she thought she’d be at age thirty-one. Her saving grace comes in the form of a tall, handsome and wealthy Scotsman Bram McGregor, the older brother of her friend Linden. Bram understands a thing or two about pride, so when tragic circumstances place Nicola at rock bottom, he offers them a place to live in the apartment complex he owns. It’s pretty much the perfect deal, so as long as she doesn’t mind living beside Bram, a man that, despite his generosity, seems to antagonize her at every turn. But nothing in life is free and as Nicola gets her feet back on the ground, she discovers that the enigmatic playboy may end up costing her more than she thought. She might just lose her heart.
