BLURB:

 

I never expected a tweet to change my life.

One minute, I'm the manager of an inn off the coast of Seattle.

The next, I'm the talk of every gossip channel imaginable.

Why did the mystery guy who sat next to me on the plane home

have to be a professional football player?

And why did he make me fall for him before everything fell apart?

She wasn't from my world.

Being a pro athlete has its advantages, like asking the world at large

to help me find the mystery girl that sat beside me on my flight home.

But with the perks also come a moain of disadvantages.

It was easy to fall for her.

It was simple to forget the cost of fame.

Until I lost her.

 



 Author Bio :

Author Bio:  S.A. Clayton lives in a small town outside of Toronto, Canada

with her husband of five years and her scary large collection of books that seem

to take over every room.

She has worked on both sides of the publishing industry, both in a boookstore

and for actual publishing companies. Although she loved both for different reasons,

she found that writing was her true passion and has spent the last few years

breaking into the industry as best she can.

She is a lover of all things romance and began her writing journey

in her late twenties. Since then, she has immersed herself in the

romance genre and couldn't be happier.

When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys binging a great Netflix

show (Stranger Things anyone?), baking (because who doesn't love cookies!)

and spending time with her family.

Book Tour ~ The Dating Itinerary by Brooke Williams

 

THE DATING ITINERARY

by Brooke Williams Publication Date: September 7, 2020 Genres: Adult, Entangled: Lovestruck, Contemporary, Romance, Romantic Comedy


EXCERPT

Penny almost giggled over the matchmaker’s name. Ivana Date. Then, the idea crossed her mind that the matchmaker could potentially put the two of them together. They’d both be in her dating bank, after all. If he happened to match enough of her answers or if they had enough in common, according to the matchmaker, they could end up on a blind date together, couldn’t they?

         And what had Geo said about that? If she showed up as his blind date, “We’d know we were a match.” Penny shuddered. Was he just being flirtatious Geo, or did he wish for her to actually show up as his date?

         “Penny Coyne?” The receptionist called her name and Penny stood, leaving thoughts of Geo and his fingers laced between her own on the squeaky chair behind her.

         When she entered the office, the large desk took over the room and she almost thought the space was empty of anyone else until a voice called to her from the other side of the desk.

         “Miss Coyne. That’s quite a name. Nice to meet you. Have a seat. I’m Ivana Date.”

         Penny peered over the desk as a business card flew across it in her direction. Was a woman named Ivana Date making fun of her name? She picked up the business card and finally noticed an older woman who was smaller than anyone Penny had observed behind a desk that large sat in a chair on the other side.

         Penny seated herself across from the desk, as instructed, and waited for Ivana to proceed.

         “My receptionist gave me your file to look over. I see you like cats?”

         Penny nodded. “I don’t have one myself, but I do love animals. I feel like a cat would be the best fit for me as a pet since I’m rather busy and don’t have time to be home to take a dog on walks regularly.”

         “I see. And you’d definitely go to the beach over the mountains?”

         Penny smiled. “Well, actually, I like both. But since I had to pick one, I guess I was in a beach sort of mood today.”

         The woman chewed on the end of a pencil as she examined Penny’s questionnaire. She set the pages down and stuck the pencil in the bun on the back of her head.

         “Well, dear, tell me about your ideal man.”

         She doesn’t waste any time, does she? Penny took a deep breath and tried to picture the man of her dreams. “Are we talking physically or…”

         “We’re talking whatever you want to talk.” Ivana’s sassy tone made Penny sit up straighter in her chair. She liked that Ivana was allowing her to go whatever direction she wanted with the description, unlike on the limiting questionnaire.

         “Okay, well, physically, I like a tall man. I’m partial to broad shoulders and a tapered waist so you can tell he takes care of himself, but not overly muscled like he spends all day in the gym.” Penny took a deep breath. “I like hair that’s slightly too long, you know? Not quite business-like, but not over the top man-bun or anything, either. I’m usually drawn to brown eyes, but blue is nice as well.” Penny was certain she could go on, but her discomfort was rising as the woman took her glasses off and inspected Penny as she spoke. She could see why Geo seemed tired when he left Ivana’s office.

         “You know, Miss Coyne, I had just that man in here earlier. You’ve described him to a T. He might be just the one for you.” The matchmaker shuffled some papers on her desk, looking for something in particular.

         Penny could feel the blood draining from her face, positive she was as pale as a sheet. She had just described Geo Monais, albeit in vague terms. She definitely had. Was it because she had crossed paths with him in the waiting room? 


SYNOPSIS

As if it wasn’t bad enough to be deemed the “most single person” at her magazine’s office, budding reporter Penny has now been tapped to write a series of features called “The Dating Game.” From speed dating to Tinder, old-fashioned matchmakers to up-and-coming “dark dating,” Penny now has to go on a lot of dates. Silver lining: meeting new people should be fun, right? But running into her old rival, George, at her first dating event is decidedly not. Not only does the arrogant know-it-all have zero trouble attracting women, wherever Penny goes, somehow he just. Keeps. Showing. Up.

Geo knows he’s right on the cusp of writing success with the chance to have his own syndicated column. All he has to do is follow his agent’s ideas for showcasing different dating avenues, and he’ll pull in enough to help his sister’s non-profit women’s shelter get off the ground. Sure, his itinerary is starting to look strangely similar to his old rival Penny’s, but all’s fair in love and syndication, right?

The more they look for love in all the wrong places, though, the more they start to wonder if it was right in front of their noses all along. Still, the brutal dating scene just might end them, if these two don’t kill each other first.

by C.E. Clayton
Genre: New Adult Cyberpunk Fantasy 


Ellinor Rask has wanted one thing for the past eight years: vengeance. But when Ellinor is captured, she finds herself dragged back into the world she walked away from, entangled once more with friends she would rather forget.
As if that weren’t humiliating enough, Ellinor learns first hand that her magic can be stripped away by a piece of bio-tech—and her ex-boss is happy to leash her with the technology in order to get what he wants. If Ellinor behaves, the device will be removed. All she has to do is deliver a package. One containing a creature created from raw magical energy and discarded technology. Simple, right?
But when her goals start getting people murdered, Ellinor has to decide if the year’s planning, her honor, and even her own magic, are worth the lives it’s costing. Dodging ruthless gangsters, she finds herself on the run with a creature of immeasurable magical abilities alongside her one-time friends. Now, Ellinor must relearn to trust the people she once abandoned. She must put her faith in technology, and her life in the hands of independent contractors, all while racing to deliver the package before it gets taken by force, or worse, the creature decides to make an appearance itself.
