I’m always eager to help
promote other authors’ books, especially when they’re books I enjoy reading! I
haven’t read Darcy Flynn’s latest release, but I’ve read and loved so many of
her others I jumped at the chance to share this one. Darcy says, “I had so much
fun linking Jillian Jeffrey, a character from my first book, Keeper of My Heart, with the second book
in my Like No Other Series. My readers wanted Jill’s story told and I’m happy
they insisted.”
Blurb:
Could one little mistake derail everything
she’s worked for?
Undercover journalist
Cameron Phillips is known for his forthright exposé articles uncovering
scandals of New York City’s rich and famous. Using the pseudonym Eagle Eye to
hide his identity, he is free to wield his finger pointing, no-holds-barred
articles at leisure.
Jillian Jeffrey, teen
fashion industry’s latest darling, has a heart for the less fortunate. Her goal
is to raise enough money for fashion icon Anna Delany’s, Like No Other charity
foundation. The donation will not only keep the charity afloat, but will place
Jill in the running for a coveted position on LNO’s board of directors.
In a moment of weakness,
at the charity gala, Jill reluctantly accepts a bet from her ex-boyfriend and
uses a homeless man to raise twenty thousand dollars. Unknown to Jill, the
homeless guy is the cynical, undercover journalist, and Jill has just become
his latest exposé target.
--> In a twist of fate, Cameron is soon hired to shadow Jill as she volunteers with the charity. Shorthaired and clean-shaven, he looks nothing like the bearded, disheveled man Jill had encountered the night of the gala. During their time together, he not only discovers the noble reason behind the bet, but witnesses first hand his article’s negative impact on her business. Faced with the prospect of losing her, will Cameron come up with an antidote for Eagle Eye’s toxic exposé before Jill loses everything she’s worked for?
Excerpt:
“Okay. I admit it. I was having coffee in the bistro near the
park when I spotted you. So, I followed you here.”
An incredulous expression crossed his face. “You do see the
weirdness in this don’t you?”
“I felt badly for what Sandra said last week.”
“It was the truth, wasn’t it?”
“To a point, but—”
“Look. An abandoned subway is no place for a spoiled
socialite. This place is dangerous.”
“You think I’m spoiled?”
“Yes and twenty thousand dollars richer.”
“The twenty thousand was for charity.”
“I guess that made what you did to me okay?”
“No. Of course not.” She sighed. “Look, I admit that I’ve
done fairly well for myself. But it hasn’t always been that way.”
“You’re a Jeffrey.
It’s always been that way, sweetheart.”
She pulled her hands away from the flame and clasped them to
her chest. “What do you mean?”
“Wealthy, wrapped up in yourself, and according to the
society pages, One of New York City’s
wealthiest families back in town,” he mocked. “Everyone who’s anyone in
this city knows about the Jeffrey girls of Scarsdale.”
“Girls?”
“Your sisters.”
“Oh, of course, them.” First Mark and now him. No wonder he
had ill feelings toward her. He thought she was one of those Jeffreys.
“So, you think because of that you know me?”
“Not you personally, but…” He shrugged.
“When you’ve met one high society dame, you’ve met them all.
Is that it?”
“Dame? Now there’s a word.” The corners of his mouth lifted.
“First hobo and now dame. You and your friends should get out more.”
For one second, all she saw was his to-die-for half-smile.
That along with his disheveled appearance was quite a package.
“Well, according to your earlier comment, my friends and I get out plenty.”
-->
He gazed down at her. His crooked smile still played around
his lips and his eyes held a sudden twinkle that disarmed her. But she couldn’t
help notice the note of disdain behind that charming twinkle. She’d used him,
coaxed him into a glamorous environment, then humiliated him. It probably
wouldn’t make any difference as to what he thought of her, so let him think
what he wanted.
Eagle Eye is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iTunes.
