FIRST KISS: Can't Buy Me Love
by Amie Louellen
“No, I’m not.”
“I understand, and it’s okay. I can keep a secret.” Her entire being had been disillusioned, but she managed to keep her voice calm and level. Maddie was right; of all the good ones were gay.
“Paige, the only secret I need for you to keep is that my aunt is blackmailing me into marriage.”
“Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of.”
“I’m not ashamed!”
“Good. There’s no reason to be. Millions of people are gay.”
“I am not gay!” Blake thrust his fingers through his hair.
“But you just said—”
Before her despondent heart could beat even once more, he came around the chair. Before she could blink, his hands were on her arms pulling her to her feet. Before she could say or do anything his lips met hers, and Paige’s world exploded into a million fragments of light and color. She understood nothing but the feel of his lips on hers, coaxing and probing. She opened her mouth for him. Accepting all he offered. Melting against him. Putty in his hands. Oblivious to their audience.
Noah cleared his throat.
Blake’s lips left hers abruptly as his hands released her arms. Paige collapsed into her chair. His eyes, their hazel intensity almost golden, locked with hers, and she felt herself still twirling in the whirlpool of desire. She had come in awed by his presence, and now...well, now she was more than awed. Did he feel it too? Was that why he stared at her, that peculiar expression on his handsome features?
“A very touching display I must say,” Masters said interrupting the quiet, heart‑pounding moment. “But I do believe the time has come to sign the papers. I don’t know about the rest of you, but this is not my only appointment today.”
Blake dragged his gaze from hers, but Paige’s temperature didn’t lessen even a tenth of a degree.
“I’m not gay.” Blake repeated, his eyes meeting her nose once again.
“Definitely,” she whispered.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Can't Buy Me Love:
Thanks to his aunt’s cockamamie will, Blake Caldwell has two choices: get married or forfeit the family fortune. He’s worked too hard to let it all go. He’s got to get married. All he needs now is someone who’s not from his social circle. A woman willing to sign a pre-nup and walk away after the required year of marriage.
Enter Paige Parker: temporary secretary and wallflower extraordinaire. Paige just wants to raise enough money to get back to her father’s missionary work in Africa. Blake’s offer of marriage is the perfect solution. Play wife for one year, then she can return to the remote village where she belongs.
But marriage between strangers is never easy. Blake finds Paige more of a distraction than an asset as she begins to transform before his eyes. Until the sudden and strange accidents that endanger Blake’s life have him suspecting his plain bride wants the entire inheritance for herself.
