Blurb:
Seriously ambitious man seeks woman to encourage his goals, support his (hopeful) position as Headmaster of Westover Academy, and be purer than Caesar’s wife. Good luck with that!
Daniel Goodman is a man on a mission. He aims to become headmaster of Westover Academy. For that he needs a particular, special woman to help him set high standards. Into his cut and dried life of moral and upright behavior, comes Eve Star, formerly one of Europe’s foremost exotic dancers. Her life is anything but cut and dried, black and white. Daniel is drawn to her like a kid to chocolate. Nothing good can come of this attraction. Or can it? He is after all, a good man.

Excerpt:
Daniel stopped at an open doorway and watched Eve cuddle a snuffling child on her lap.
“It’s okay, my darling, I’m here.”
Quickly, the child stopped stirring and Eve placed him back in bed.
“Mama loves her baby,” she said in a low voice.
Daniel stepped uninvited into the room and walked to the dresser. A framed photo of a smiling dark-haired man caught his eye. “Your husband?” He studied the photo.
“Timmy’s father.” She brushed the boy’s hair from his forehead and then came to stand beside Daniel.
She fidgeted, shifting her weight from foot to foot. “Let’s go. He’s asleep now.”
Something about the photo wasn’t right. The man looked familiar, maybe an actor or… In a flash of disbelief, he removed the backing from the frame.
“Wait—” She reached out, but too late to keep Daniel from seeing the printing at the bottom of the folded page indicating the frame was sized four by six and cost nine-ninety-five. God damn. She had kept the picture that came with the frame to show Timothy his “father.” What kind of woman was this?
There was no sign a man lived there, but Sydney had said she was a widow. She was definitely raising her boy alone. But why not display a real photo of Timmy’s father, her husband? For some reason, maybe because he couldn’t imagine a guy stupid enough to let Eve Star go, he’d bet she’d never been married.
First, she stripped and now this. She was hiding something. Maybe a great deal, and none of it good.

Got me curious about what she is hiding.
There’s so, so much! Thanks for commenting, Janet.
Now he needs to know why she was pretending. So do we!
Yes! 😉 Thanks, Mary.
Geez, men are never willing to let a girl keep her secrets! Hope he’s ready for them.
LOL! Sierra, you said it!
Very intriguing! And there’s something a little heartbreaking about that fake photo.
I know, right? Eve has lots of secrets, but she’s a good person.
Good job creating a mystery around her.
Thanks, Ed!
Ooh, secrets… I’m sure Eve has a bunch!
She does, Amber! Thanks for commenting.
Loved this book, and I’m not telling what she is hiding.
