Private Internship blurb:
Sugar’s not so sweet and secrets
can be deadly … especially with matters of the heart
Sienna’s
bestie, Harper warned her not to intern for famous bad boy artist, Casper
Mason. After all, he just fired Harper who helped Sienna get the interview. But
the moment Sienna sees Casper—or Caz—sweaty and practically shirtless and
swinging from chains while he works on his sculpture, she’s hooked. He’s the
richest, hottest artist in New York, and he lives in the fabulous Williamsburg
Sugar Factory. But he’s also an incorrigible game-player, who seems to relish challenging
Sienna’s loyalty with a string of unsettling tests.
Excerpt:
It’s blessedly warmer in here and
I realize this warehouse is so enormous he’s only heated the renovated parts.
In two of the corners Caz has deposited huge piles of sugar packets—ones tediously counted by spurned interns?
My attention is drawn to the
larger of the piles. Its packets are shifting ever so slightly. Ah! The jig’s
up; Caz is hiding under it. Sugary mosh pit here I come! I tiptoe forward, ever so slowly and pounce, landing with a
shockingly loud crunch. Burrowing down into the packets, my hand hits a
leathery cowboy boot. I grip onto the top lip for all its worth. “Tag!” I
shriek. “Gotcha.”
Caz explodes upward, like a giant
cake surprise, his hair all at wild angles. Grabbing me by the waist he pulls
me down. We wrestle like kids, sending packets flying in all directions. He’s
stronger than me, so it’s not long before his corded arms circle around me and
pin me there, some big kid winning one over on his little brother or sister.
But Caz
is not like a big brother, not at all. Not sure what we are now, as he
gazes at me with his deep brown eyes, animated, sparkly and questioning. Wide,
as if he’s seeing me clearly for the very first time. “You’re fun,” he
whispers, his sculptural, perfect mouth so near mine.
