Book Cover & Preview Text
Prescott Borden tumbled out of bed like dice itching to be rolled.
“I’m in love and this time I mean it,” the devilish bachelor mused to himself on a wicked hot May morning in Boston.
It was the city’s second straight week of blistering heat, and across New England, everyone was on fire with spring fever. Particularly Prescott. He could hear chirping birds and smell the blossoming flowers from Bean Town’s famous Public Garden beckoning him to the balcony of his Four Seasons penthouse suite. Even though the sliding glass doors were closed, in his mind romance was springing up everywhere.
For Prescott there was no bigger thrill than finding the one true love of his life. The incorrigible single firmly believed in “love at first sight” since it happened to him so often. And last night was no different than many others. Boy sees girl, boy likes girl, and boy decides to spy on girl - from a non-stalking distance, of course. Very few things fell into the stockbroker’s hands by accident. There was always a bullish plan of action. But the only inside information he’d gathered about the “head turning” blond checking into the luxurious hotel was her room number, 508. A mere 10 floors down from his penthouse. He might need to “accidentally” get off on the fifth floor and linger around the ice machine. Certainly, his old pal Joe from security, who he needed to speak with anyway, could help facilitate an accidental meeting. With cameras rolling everywhere and a handsome tip, the entire hotel was a player’s paradise.
