Amber Rules by Mel Curtis: Excerpt

Amber Rules is book 1 in my Hollywood Rules series and an Amazon Best Selling Book. The heat level is hot-hot-hot!

Excerpt:
“We got off on the wrong foot yesterday.” Amber’s cheeks bloomed with color. “This is a working relationship. I won’t be sleeping with you.”

“So certain,” he murmured.

“I’m not going to be your beck-and-call girl.”

“Pity.” Evan scanned the restaurant.

“Look, I have a job to do.”

Evan imagined running the back of his hand over the slope of Amber’s breast. “Just what is your job?”

“Chief Efficiency Officer.” She allowed herself a private smile. “I’m here to make you play better.”

“Well, if it’s cause and effect you’re looking for, you kissed me and I put one in the hole. So…”

“Smooth. Lines like that usually work for you, do they?”

He drew back in mock innocence. “Lines? I don’t need lines. I’m Evan Oliver, the biggest badass in the NBA.”

“More like the biggest head case in the NBA.”

“If that was true, I wouldn’t need you.”

“I’m not saying you’re crazy.” Was that a tinge of desperation in her voice? “You just lack…I don’t know. Focus?”

His knuckles popped as his fist clenched. If one more person told Evan he lacked focus he’d have to punch them. “I can be very focused.” He relaxed his fingers over his thigh as he leaned in closer to whisper in her ear. “Amazingly focused.”

Blurb: For years, Amber Rule was the main attraction in her father’s self-help infomercials, his personal before-to-after example of how to transform your life:  overweight to svelte adolescent, dependent teen to independent adult, social dork to paparazzi princess.  Dooley Rule pointed out all of Amber’s failings – on camera no less – and then made it appear he’d fixed them.  He used Amber to hawk his personal life coaching services and peddle his motivational books.  She had no interest in the Dooley Foundation and the Rules of Attraction it hawked: Choose, Voice, Trust, Welcome.

But then her father dies, leaving Amber and the rest of gossip hungry L.A. wondering what celebrity secrets her father kept.  All Amber has to do to ensure her secrets are safe, earn her inheritance and return to her normal, paparazzi free life is improve the mental game of the biggest bad-ass in the NBA, Evan Oliver.  Too bad Amber knows nothing about basketball or life coaching.  Too bad Evan Oliver is determined to do things his own way, especially when it comes to teaching Amber a new set of rules.
