Chapter One

Seated in the outer office when Suzanna Sills entered were four other young hopefuls, one of them male. Suzanna announced herself to the receptionist with a pleasant "Good morning," after which she turned toward the other four with a shy smile and took a chair.

She couldn't help noticing the complete indifference in the man's eyes as they slid past her en route to the three decidedly pretty girls beyond, or the smug look exchanged by the girls themselves as they dismissed her with a slight air of disdain.

Great, thought Suzanna. It's working!

Suzanna had applied for the position of assistant to the top advertising executive of the biggest and best advertising agency on Madison Avenue, Elder and Rubin. She looked neat and well-scrubbed. Beyond that her only concession to her femininity was a slight slick of pale pink lip gloss. Until she had walked into the room, she'd had no way of knowing what the competition would be. Now she knew that there had been at least four other applicants with equally good resumes who had been given appointments. Probably a good deal would hinge on the personal interview.

The wait seemed endless as the four other aspiring copywriters were called in turn. Each one left with a self-conscious show of confidence and a brisk step, as if relieved that the ordeal was over. They studiously avoided the gazes of the other applicants.

Finally it was Suzanna's turn. As she strode purposefully into the inner sanctum, she was aware of a large man silhouetted against the light from a huge floor to ceiling window behind him. She approached his desk and extended her hand in a no-nonsense manner.

"How do you do? I'm Suzanna Sills."

Her hand was enveloped in a firm clasp. She looked up into the man's face, which she could see clearly now that she was close enough to be shaded from the window's glare.

Then a strange thing happened. Her knees felt weak; her heart started to pound. She cursed the impulse that had made her turn herself into a dowdy frump. As if from a distance, she heard his deep, resonant voice say, "How do you do? I'm Quentin Pierce. Won't you sit down?"

Reviews:
"A sizzling novel. The chemistry between the hero and heroine is superb. She is sassy and bold, but it takes true love to awaken her to the joys of passion. A super read from a fabulous new talent." Jacinta Carey, The Wildest Heart

"Sultry Suzanna Sills goes on a Campaign for Love in this wonderful novel. Suzanna wants to succeed in her career without sleeping her way to the top, so she takes the drastic step of making herself as unattractive as possible to get a job at a top-flight ad agency in New York.
"She soon finds herself in way over her head with both her accounts and her boss, who is so handsome he makes her weak at the knees.
"Abused as a child, she never wanted to be near any man, but Quentin brings out her true personality with his kindness and patience. He supports all of her ideas for their new accounts, and she is so much of a hit that she is asked to star in all of the Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'before and after' ads.
"It doesn't take Quentin long to figure out that Suzanna is the sexiest woman he has ever laid eyes on under the tents she was wearing, so why the deception? Even leaving aside her disguise and lies, does he dare give his heart to the woman who has become the best colleague he has ever had?
"The author has set up a wonderful romance with a splash of mystery, and some very real obstacles to their happiness. Suzanna is a feisty heroine who knows what she wants and is determined to get it, though she always tries to play fair.
"Quentin is a marvelous hero, romantic and supportive, but afraid to commit his whole life to one person who has made his world spin. Exotic locales add to the sensuality of the book, and the celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas make the novel a memorable one which readers will treasure." Carolyn Stone, In From the Cold

"This is the tale of the ugly duckling in reverse, for stunning Suzanna Sills disguises herself as a dowdy frump in order to prove that she can succeed in her career without having to resort to her ample sex appeal. As she develops a firm friendship with her new co-workers, including her boss, the worldly Quentin Pierce, she develops more confidence and for the first time in her life, thinks she knows what it's like to fall in love.
"Quentin knows Suzanna is the best assistant he has ever had, but is shocked when she begins to work on the Femme Fatale cosmetic account, and at last shows the true physical beauty hidden under all the plain Jane outfits she's been wearing.
"Obviously there is more to his new employee than meets the eye, but is all of it good? Or is she an industrial spy out to steal all their ideas and accounts for her own?
"This is an excellent contemporary romance, beautifully written, with fascinating characters and the glorious backdrops of bustling New York City and the tranquil Bahamas. Quentin and Suzanna are a terrific couple in the boardroom and bedroom, showing that a modern woman can have it all, and an intelligent modern man will happily share it with her. " Evelyn Trimborn, Italian Interlude
