DESCRIPTION:
Fletcher Novak is Sexy.
Fletch has charm, Fletch has
charisma, and Fletch has moves. He turns dreams into reality two nights a week,
baring his body to lonely women, bored housewives, and bachelorettes looking
for that one last good time. He’s into one-night stands, one-time things, and
he never, ever gets serious.
Tiffy Preston is looking for
commitment.
A billionaire’s daughter with the
world at her fingertips, Tiffy’s in Lake Tahoe to take over her father’s hotel
and clean up the Mountain Men Male Revue Show. She’s well-bred, polite, and
hates everything Fletcher represents.
But Fletcher offers Tiffy something
she can’t refuse—total satisfaction and the man of her dreams. All she has to
do is… everything he tells her.
Because Sexy doesn’t sell… it’s for
sale.
EXCERPT ONE:
“Mr. Novak,” Amy, the resort manager, says in her businesslike
tone, “there was a meeting this afternoon. I had it on your calendar and you
missed it. I’m sure, as always, you have a good reason for that? I expect to
hear it tomorrow at nine AM sharp.” She pauses for a moment to sigh. “And
Fletcher, just so you know, it had better be monumental.”
There’s a click and the computer voice starts giving me options
before I can disconnect the call.
Fucking management. I hate that corporate shit they do. And I hate
these monthly meetings even more. But I have a show to do, so I push it away
and head back downstairs. The ordinarily quick lift takes a few minutes and is
filled with rich, drunk gamblers by the time it gets to my floor, so when I finally
walk back through the stage door, Chandler is already calling my name.
“Fletcherrrrrrr…” he roars above the crowd of cheers.
“You’re late again, bro,” Bill says, walking by with his costume
in his hand, sweat falling down his face after his dance routine. His hard body
is rippled with muscles and his wet-look thong is stuffed with dollars.
But I’m a professional, remember?
I take the small set of stairs two at a time and push the curtain
aside, just as Chandler says my name again. His expression is one of annoyance
as he looks at the curtain, but then he realizes I’m here and it turns to
relief. “Novakkkkkk…” he says, placing the mic in the stand and walking off
stage on the opposite side.
I throw up my arms, allowing the tight white t-shirt to stretch across
my chest and rise up from the waistband of my tattered jeans a little. The
spotlight flashes directly overhead—just one brief tease of what’s to come—and
the audience goes wild at that little bit of skin. But before they can do
anything else, the stage goes dark again and the music starts bumping.
I don’t talk on stage. No one wants to hear what I’ve got to say.
They only want to see what I can do with this body. Hardened from years of
sports and diligent gym visits. Lean muscles accentuated with a grace that you
only get with a decade or more of martial arts training. That’s all they want.
That’s all they see. I’m just something to look at when I’m up here.
So I give them exactly what they expect. A show.
I start dancing, my hips moving to the beat of the song. Another
flash of light from above. Another round of screams. And then silence as I
freeze.
Whistles and catcalls start. But I hold my pose—fingertips on the
back of my shirt, ready to oblige their insatiable need for the sight of bare
flesh tonight. Then another flash. I drag the shirt up in that brief glimpse,
and then darkness mimics my pause. The next flash they see my abs, the dream
six-pack that’s mostly genetics, but I do my share of crunches. Then another
flash and I give them the pecs, flexing the muscles and making them dance a
little. And in that final flash, I rip the shirt over my head.
The front row stands, waving their dollar bills in the air,
begging to shower me with money.
I twirl the shirt several times, taking in the throngs of women
with their hands up, ready to catch the prize, and then throw it to a little
redhead just as all the lights come on to the beat of the bass. I train my eyes
on the crowd, ready to start the real show, and then the lights switch from me
to them, lighting up their faces—red with the heat of five hundred woman
jostling for position in the room. All of them there for me in this moment. It
pans to the left side, and I use those three seconds to search for my star.
Then down the middle. My eyes train on a woman in a light-colored suit sitting
dead center before I lose her in the darkness and switch to the right side.
