Publisher: Harlequin
Release Date: December 1, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Series: Love and Lipstick, Book 3
He’ll prove his seduction theories work—even on his pregnant best friend! On TV, Dr. Dante Gates teaches the science of attraction. Now this wealthy genius is using his expertise on best friend Dr. Harper Livingston. His theory: one kiss will extinguish that distracting spark between them. Reality proves hotter than any fantasy…until he learns Harper’s expecting… She chose pregnancy by sperm donor before her best friend became Dr. Sexy. Now, if she wants all he can give, she has to stay emotionally detached—or risk losing his friendship and her cosmetics company. But as she surrenders to his masterful seduction, she admits some things are worth the risk… The Pregnancy Project is part of the Love and Lipstick quartet.
Without taking his gaze from hers, he reached out and traced the line of her jaw. Not as a friend. Not companionably. But with intent.
“What are you doing?” she asked as a line appeared between her brows. “This isn’t…I mean—we’re not…”
“Haven’t you ever been curious?” he interjected smoothly. “About what it would be like between us?”
“Be like? What what would be like?” Her eyes widened as his meaning must have registered.
There was still time to back-pedal if taking things up a notch ended up being the worst idea ever conceived, but that window of opportunity rapidly shrank the longer they stood here in this blanket of awareness.
“I’ve thought about it. A lot,” he continued, since she hadn’t pulled away and hadn’t fled in horror. “No time like the present to find out.”
Before logic could kick in and remind him of all the reasons this could go south, he sank his hands into Harper’s soft red curls, spread his fingers across the back of her head and tipped it up. Slowly—because he wanted to give his body plenty of time to soak in the lesson to be learned here—he lowered his lips to Harper’s and claimed them in a sweet kiss.
Which instantly caught fire. Heat erupted where they’d joined, sensitizing him, claiming him. Harper flowed through him, waking up his blood.
And that’s when he realized his mistake—one kiss and all he’d proven was that he was not done. Not even close.
REVIEW

It’s a corporate takedown in the boardroom and the bedroom—until a little secret raises the stakes! Cassandra Claremont’s favorite position is CEO—and she’s sure as hell not stepping down for Gage Branson, the sexy playboy who once broke her heart. When inside intel threatens her company’s success, he’s her number one suspect. So why is she still entranced by his sexual spell? Gage is determined to stoke the fire beneath Cass’s icy exterior and clear his name. Fortunately, working after hours with the blonde beauty allows him to pursue both goals. But when secrets from Gage’s past are exposed, will Cass lose her company, her heart or both?
They married for the sake of the baby. Will they stay together for love?
Widowed power player Phillip Edgeworth’s political ambitions demand he have a wife—they don’t demand he love her. It’s a good thing, too, because his heart belongs to the perfect wife he lost. But finding a woman who will say “I do” to his deal proves difficult. Until he meets Alexandra Meer—the sexy CFO he can’t resist. She doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after, even after their amazing night together. And now she’s pregnant with his child! A marriage of convenience should end the scandal and solve all their problems…as long as they don’t fall in love…
