Pretending she was mine seemed so harmless in the beginning…
Carrie Callihan is doing her best to keep it together.
Sure, she may have shared an inappropriate kiss with her client, but it was only one little kiss, and he was only doing her a favor.
No big deal.
Or at least that’s what she keeps telling herself while Ben’s busy dealing with a few bombshells of his own across town.
But when a chance meeting brings them together outside the office, Ben asks Carrie to return the favor.
And he doesn’t stop there.
**This new adult romance series contains mature content, adult language, and several characters who also feature in the Tempted Series by Hazel Kelly, namely Will & Ella.

The Deal is the second novella in the Club Abbott series, which is written by author Hazel Kelly. This series has a continuous storyline. Therefore you’ll need to read the books in order. Oh, and since this is only the second, be prepared for it to end with another cliffhanger!
The Deal continues where we left off with Carrie walking home from the store. She can’t seem to stop thinking about the kiss with Ben, and she’s even more confused about her feelings. The one thing she knows for sure is that she needs this job opportunity that Ben is offering. Although before he can show her the building, he finds himself in a situation, and this time, it’s him asking Carrie to help him out.
I really love Carrie and Ben’s banter, and their chemistry is pretty hot! I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

I never should’ve asked him to pretend he was my boyfriend…
It was as pathetic as it was unprofessional.
But it was fun, too. More fun than I’ve had in a long time.
And the more I get to know him, the more I wish we hadn’t been pretending.
Because acting like I don’t want him is my most Oscar-worthy performance yet…
