Last week I was asked by Krista of
Bridging the Gap Promotions to spotlight a new title:
The Billionaire's Best Friend. I read the synopsis and thought Christina Tetreault's new novel sounds like such a cute romance story! I hope you'll all think so as well.
Here's the synopsis:
Despite a wonderful family, a career she loves, and great
friends, a void has existed in Lauren McDonald's life ever since her best
friend Callie married billionaire Dylan Talbot. Although they have remained
close, Lauren and Callie now lead very different lives, that is until Lauren
meets wealthy CEO Kevin Walsh. Lauren believes he could be the man who will
help make her life whole again. That is
until the night Nathaniel Callahan, her high school sweetheart and the one man
she has always loved, shows up.
Although Nate ended things with Lauren before heading off to
The Naval Academy and his life with the Marines, he never stopped loving her.
Now 15 years later he is back to correct the mistake he made all those years
ago.
With Nate back in town, Lauren must decide between the man
who promises her the world and the man who has the power to crush her heart
again.
Now, this is technically a series but from what I can tell you don't really need to read the books in order unless you want the full backstory. The first novel,
The Teacher's Billionaire, is actually about Callie and Dylan (and, PS, it's free on
Amazon).
Here's an excerpt to get you even more interested:
The main doors of the room opened as Lauren paused her scan;
the guest of honor was about to enter. Grabbing her camera, Lauren stood—only
to immediately collapse back down into her chair when her knees gave out at the
sight of Nathaniel Callahan standing in the doorway.
“Oh my
God.” Her stomach hit the floor.
“What's the
matter? Are you okay?” Callie's concerned voice sounded as if it were traveling
a great distance to reach her.
Lauren
glanced over at Callie and then toward the door again. Perhaps she'd imagined
him. After all, why would he be here? The last time she'd heard anything about
him, he was doing his third tour in the Middle East. Despite her hope that
she'd started to hallucinate, when she looked again, he was still there,
dressed in a black suit rather than his Marine uniform, his brown hair cut
military short and looking much the same as he did the summer he'd broken her
heart. She latched her hand onto Callie's arm. “Nate Callahan. He's here.”
She kept
her eyes on him. Since that awful day the summer after senior year, she'd only
seen him once. She'd been home visiting her parents during holiday break her
freshman year of college. She’d spotted him in his parents' driveway from her
bedroom window. They'd received more than two feet of snow the night before and
he was helping his father shovel. That morning she'd stood and watched until
the entire driveway was cleared. When he and his dad finished, he went back
inside his house without so much as a glance toward her home.
“What?”
Callie asked, her voice louder than necessary.
Out of the
corner of her eye, she saw Kevin and Dylan headed back to the table. "Nate
just walked in," Lauren hissed.
"Lauren
that . . ." Callie's voice trailed off and she sat up straighter. Her head
moved to keep him in sight as he walked toward his parents. "What's he
doing here?" she asked, her voice lower now.
Leaning closer,
Lauren whispered, "I don't know. We don't exactly speak."
So what do you think? Does it sound like
The Billionaire's Best Friend something you might read?
About Christina
I wrote my first story with
characters similar to those in the Sweet Valley Twins books at the age of 10 on
my grandmother's manual typewriter. As I got older my stories and characters
became more mature. During my freshman year at UMass Dartmouth, I read my first
romance novel and fell in love with the genre. I have been writing contemporary
romance ever since.
Today I live with my husband, three
beautiful daughters and two dogs in Massachusetts. Whenever I have a free
moment you'll find me either reading a romance novel or working on my most
current story.
