Pamela Atwater has devoted her life to her career, working
for
Dane Bergman. Having helped her and her mother by giving
her a
job when she needed it the most, Pamela has worked hard to
become the most efficient, organised assistant that is
humanly
possible, knowing what Dane needs and should do, even
before
he does. Even if that job also means she helps him move
along
the girlfriend queue who will never get what they are
looking
for - Dane's love.
Naturally Pamela recognises that Dane is
unbelievably attractive but she would never cross the line
in
that department, not that Dane would even dream of looking
at
her like that. To him she is just good old reliable Pam,
always there to help him when he is in a bind, and boy is
he
in a bind this time.
Dane Bergman has worked extremely hard to overcome his
troubled
childhood, and is determined to forget his past. With a
new
club opening and a persistent protestor that seems to have
a
personal grudge against him, he has a lot on his plate.
The
last thing he expects to discover is that he has a four
year
old daughter, Dani, that he knew nothing about. And that
he is
all that she has left in this world, after her mother died
in
a tragic accident. Thank god he has Pamela, who seems to
have
a way with his little girl, even if he is struggling with
his
own child.
The more time Pamela spends with Dani and Dane, the
harder it is for her to remain detached. Determined for
Dane
to forge a bond with his daughter, Pam forces Dane to
spend
one month with his little girl on his private island with
no
distractions. But as Pamela finds herself being dragged
into
the plan, things get a lot more complicated. For Pamela is
coming out of the shadows, and Dane is seeing her for the
beautiful, caring, intelligent woman that she is. But Dane
does not do forever and that is what Pamela deserves. With
a
headstrong child, dangerous adventures, sexual tension,
and
work nightmares, will Pamela be forced to walk away from
Dane
for good?
THE MILLIONAIRE DADDY PROJECT by Roxanne Snopek is an
entertaining contemporary romance that gripped me from the
beginning to the end. The character of Pamela is
intriguing
and I really connected with her and the situations she
found
herself in. Dane is a sexy hero who has always kept a part
of
himself closed off, and it was a joy to watch him try so
desperately to open up to his daughter, Dani. Roxanne
Snopek
wrote the situations surrounding parenting and grief in
such a
tender and compassionate way, and my heart went out to all
of
the characters.
THE MILLIONAIRE DADDY PROJECT by Roxanne
Snopek has got passion, confusion and plenty of
misunderstandings, which make for a truly enjoyable modern
romance.
SUMMARY
In the space of about a second, successful restaurateur
Dane Bergman has gone from millionaire playboy to daddy.
Now he's the sole guardian of a very adorable and willful
five-year-old child, and he's counting on his executive
assistant, Pamela Atwater, to save his ass. Even if it
means bringing her along on a month-long ocean-side
retreat... Pamela Atwater prides herself on being the perfect
assistant. Whatever Dane wants or needs, she's there—
pretending to ignore Dane's golden charm and drop-dead
gorgeousness. On vacation, however, Pamela sees a side of
Dane she never imagined. And it's a side that tempts her
to cross the line between professional and personal. But
is one month enough time to prove to Dane that his
perfect assistant might just be his perfect match?
ExcerptDane’s awareness grew slowly, like the pink light of dawn fingering beneath the
blinds in his room.Soft clattering noises, kitchen noises, came from somewhere. A Disney soundtrack.
Ah, the Frozen DVD. Dani singing along. Healthy. Happy. A chair scraping against
the floor. Comforting morning sounds. For some time, he let himself drift, dreaming of a woman, fighting the darkness
with him, holding his fears at bay, letting him feel safe, secure. Whole. Loved. So loved. And so warm. Soft. Smooth. Rounded curves. He ran his hand up those curves, pulling the softness against his erection,
letting his fingers wander up to cup a warm breast, feeling one nipple, then the
other, harden at his touch. “Mmm.” She nestled even tighter against him and he reached down, lower, until he
felt silky curls and soft, damp folds. She shifted, parting her legs slightly, quivering, her hips undulating. He answered her movements, feeling that nothing had ever been so perfect as this
moment, this hidden refuge, just him and Pam, the two of them… Pam! His eyes flew open, and he felt her startle against him. Pam…in bed with him? He recalled the night before, checking on the two of them yet again, safely
ensconced in his king bed, exhausted from the frantic nighttime battle with the
frigid ocean. Dani had kicked away the pillow he’d tucked against her and was
shivering again. When he tried to replace it, he felt her skin. Too cold. He’d intended to sleep
in the guest bed, but without questioning himself, he crawled in and tucked her
against his chest. With him on one side and Pam on the other, they’d keep her
warm. She nestled under his chin and the sensation of his little girl letting him
hold her, of being able to provide something that she needed and yes, was willing
to take from him, had brought tears to his eyes. And that was her now, singing in the kitchen. Sounding right as rain, happy as a
clam, fit as a fiddle. He should go check on her. But he was here, in bed, with Pam. “Dane?” She sighed softly. “I thought I was dreaming.” “Me, too,” he whispered, pressing closer. “I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I
am.” She stiffened in his arms. “We shouldn’t,” she said, gasping slightly, “This is…problematic.” “Hmm.” She was so soft, so warm. So wet. “I can’t wait to give you the solution.” “Dane.” Damn. They were so close. “Fine.” He moved his hand, but couldn’t resist winding a damp trail, evidence of her
arousal, up her belly and over her hip. There was no mistaking his response; damn
if he was going to let her pretend she wasn’t right there with him. “We should get up,” she said, her voice unsteady. “Way ahead of you, baby.” He nudged her. Pamela could barely breathe. Was this really happening? Or was it a dream? But the solidness of Dane, the weight of him behind her in the bed told her it
was very, vividly real. “I should check on Dani,” she said, wanting more than anything else in the
universe to stay exactly where she was. “Listen,” he said. “She’s fine. The door’s closed.” From the kitchen, she could hear Dani’s voice singing along with her beloved
characters. Laughing, even. Beneath the covers, he slid a hand up, then down her body. “Do you want to go,” he whispered against her neck, his breath sending rivulets
of desire quivering over her skin, “or do you want to stay?” When she’d gone to bed, she’d had a robe on and a child in her arms. Now, she
could feel her robe bunched up somewhere by her knees, the child was making happy
noises in the other room and big hot hands were touching her in places that
desperately wanted to be touched. Even her dreams weren’t this good. Her body was moving in time with his hand and she was breathing way too quickly. She should stop him; she knew she should. She reached back and found his erection. He groaned. “So you’ve decided then?” He throbbed in her hand and she rubbed her thumb over the slick tip. His finger dipped inside her again and she gasped. “Decided what?” He reached to the bedside table and she heard the crinkling sound of a condom
wrapper. She arched her back and pressed against him, angling herself until she
felt him pulsating at the back of her thighs so close, but not close enough. “Decided,” he said in a ragged voice, “if we’re having sex or not.” She pushed herself onto him and he was inside her, filling her, trembling against
her as if holding himself back. But she spread her legs wider to accommodate him and his clever, clever hand that
hadn’t stopped working her, not for a second. Maybe she wasn’t awake after all, she thought, as the waves rose, and her legs
bucked against the sheets. “Can I,” she gasped, grabbing his hip and pulling him into her, harder, faster,
“get back to you?” She cried out as her climax began and she flailed for a pillow to put over her
face. This was too good to be silent, this was a screamer, a shout-it-from-the-
rooftops, barn-burner kind of orgasm, and just when she thought it couldn’t get
better, Dane’s hands moved to her hips, grasping her, pulling her back and forth,
extending her pleasure with his crescendo. Finally they fell back on the sheets, both breathing hard, both trembling. The room came back into focus. Pamela elbowed herself around to look at Dane for
the first time “I guess,” she said, meeting his eyes and seeing in them the same shock she felt
herself, “that would be a yes.”
