Sequel to Model Position Sometimes sugar isn’t so sweet and secrets can be deadly...especially with matters of the heart. Sienna’s bestie, Harper warned her not to intern for famous bad boy artist, Casper Mason. After all, he just fired Harper who helped Sienna get the interview. But the moment Sienna sees Casper—or Caz—sweaty, practically shirtless and swinging from chains as he works on his sculpture, she’s hooked. He’s the richest, hottest artist in New York, and he lives in the fabulous Williamsburg Sugar Factory. But he’s also an incorrigible game-player, who seems to relish testing Sienna’s loyalty with a string of unsettling tests. She knows she should get away fast. But by the time Sienna sneaks into his locked storage room and begins to unearth his dark and terrifying secret, she’s fallen way too hard for the handsome, charismatic Caz. ~Excerpt~ He locks his rich, hot-chocolate eyes on me, and studies my every curve and angle, seems to be piercing right through my skin into the alleys of my mind and heart. Curious, he’s so curious. I sense him asking where I’m from and why it took me so long to find him, and what kind of art I do, and whether I’ve ever sold it or gotten a review, or who I know, who I hang out with, and how much experience I’ve had in galleries, in school, in the world, in bed. My neck heats up. Did I just think that? Or was that something in his head that crossed wires and invaded mine? He’s close to me now, still staring boldly, when suddenly I feel his inner questions stop. And a wall, like one of those metal store gratings, clatters downward and slams. Closed for business, closed for questions, closed for good. This, all before we’ve exchanged one word. When I come back into myself, I’m embarrassed to realize that I’m wringing my hands—the old-fashioned hysterical Victorian damsel in distress kind of wringing. I stop, immediately. Rub my sweaty palms on my dress. Buck up! I scold silently. And I extend my hand. “I’m Sienna. I’m your new intern.” Casper Mason doesn’t take my hand. The nerve. He’s standing there, boldly, legs wide apart in some twisted warrior stance, arms folded across his wide chest. Jaw jutting out rebelliously, eyes daring me…to do what? So after an excruciating few seconds, I retract my hand. “My new intern?” Caz mumbles as though an intern is a radioactive space rock or some otherworldly object and he never ordered one. “Well, it’s about time. That last one was a disaster.” Praise for Private Internship: "Beautiful. Amazing.

Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance One weekend—no strings, no expectations, and no commitments. On Sunday afternoon it all ends, or does it? No-nonsense businessman Spencer Cannon has a dilemma. He's headed to Connecticut for the weekend to attend his cousin's elaborate wedding. His whole family will be there in addition to his obsessed ex-girlfriend Ava. According to Spencer's brother, Ava has been telling her friends she's planning a magical reunion with her favorite ex-boyfriend. Spencer's not in the mood to deal with her, but he can't miss the wedding. He needs a plan. Struggling Brooklyn waitress and aspiring graphic designer Dakota Vercelli has fallen on hard times. College debts, pending eviction, and her sick mother are taking a toll on her. A chance encounter with Mr. Cannon, CEO of Cannon and Carrington Advertising, leads to a proposition that may be just the thing to solve both of their problems. Spencer's offer—spend four days with him during the wedding festivities and keep his ex off his trail. In return, he'll compensate her generously for her time. He needs a weekend girlfriend, and Dakota needs the cash. It was just supposed to be a business deal, but after sharing a room, kissing under the stars, and attending a wedding, their attraction is undeniable. Will the illusion end when the weekend is over or is the proposition just the beginning? Content Warning: contains mature language and graphic sexual content ~Excerpt~ "I have a proposition for you," Spencer said. "A proposition?" What could he possibly have to offer her? "I have to attend my cousin's wedding this weekend. Actually, I have to leave tomorrow afternoon. I don't want to go alone for reasons I don't wish to discuss right now. I need someone to accompany me. I'm offering that to you." "And you think I'm 'to the point'?" Coda shrugged. He smiled but didn't say anything. She couldn't stand the silence. She wanted to figure out his game. There had to be some sort of catch. "You want me to go to a wedding with you?" "It's in Connecticut. I would require your services until Sunday afternoon. All of your expenses would be paid, including a wardrobe which would be yours to keep after the weekend." "You need a date?" "I would need you to appear as my girlfriend." "Is this a joke?" she asked. "I wouldn't joke about something like this. I've thought the entire thing through." "A man who looks like you should have no problem finding a real girlfriend to buy clothes for and flaunt in front of his family." She thought for a moment. "Unless there's something wrong with you." "There's nothing wrong with me." He raised his voice a bit. "I had planned on attending alone but circumstances have changed. I'm in a bind and from what I gather, you are too." Her instincts screamed to run in the opposite direction. She'd never been the type to fall for a scam. "I'm not interested in—" "I'll pay you two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for your time." "What?" Apparently a side of crazy came with those good looks. "One hundred and twenty-five thousand today, if you agree." He pulled out a check from the inside pocket of the jacket he had draped on the back of the chair. He slipped the mint green paper across the table. "You'll get the rest on Sunday afternoon." "That's fifty grand a day." She studied the check. It would take her years to make that kind of money working these shit-end jobs. "I'm aware." He nodded as if the money meant nothing. "I'm asking for your time, a commodity I believe should be well compensated." Too good to be true. "Do you make it a habit of paying women to be your girlfriend?" "Pretend girlfriend," he reminded her. "You would be the first." "Why me?" "Does it matter?" "What exactly do you expect me to do for that money?" “I told you." He narrowed his eyes. "I need a date for a long weekend. Everyone needs to think we're a couple." "You're willing to pay me to go away with you for four days. I'm supposed to take your word we're going to a wedding in Connecticut? How do I know you won't kidnap me and want to do all sorts of kinky stuff to me? You could be some sex-obsessed lunatic." "Kinky stuff?" "Yeah, you know, like bondage and blindfolds." "Do you like that sort of thing?" He tried to conceal his smirk. ~About The Author~ Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember.
