Perky (The Do-Over Series) (affiliate link)
One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago…) I let my boyfriend take, let’s just say…compromising pictures of me.
(Shut up. It made sense at the time).
Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That’s right.
I’m a meme. A really gross one.
You’re seen the pictures. And if you haven’t – don’t ask. And don’t look!
As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.
So. I’m done.

Ever stumbled into a job you’re totally not qualified to do then fallen––literally––head over heels for a client? Just me?
When my best friend Josie asked me to cover for her new job, I didn’t hesitate. I’m nice like that.
The plan: Meet the rich client. Take notes of their measurements and fashion tastes. Then hand over to Josie. Job done.
But Josie didn’t tell me the client is six-foot-four Hollywood hunk, Blaze Hopkins. My ultimate onscreen crush.
I can’t stop my face glowing red as I wrap the tape measure around his hot body.
When he asks me questions, I reply with squeaks and giggles. Total fangirl move.
But Blaze doesn’t know what a personal shopper does––or does NOT do––and he makes me an offer that makes my jaw drop and toes curl.
