The Arrangement Duet by Madison Quinn Book Tour and Giveaway :)
On
His Terms
The
Arrangement Duet Book 1
by
Madison Quinn
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
Fleeing
an abusive relationship normally doesn’t lead to a contract.
After
being burned by an ex Nicholas doesn’t trust easily. However, his
refusal to have a serious girlfriend threatens everything he has
spent the last five years working to accomplish. Somehow, instability
in his love life has convinced the public that he can’t manage a
multi-billion dollar investment firm. If he doesn’t change things
quickly, he’ll risk losing everything he’s worked his entire life
for.
To
solve his problems, Nicholas hires Kenzie to be his pretend
girlfriend. With the terms of their contract firmly in place, Kenzie
is confident this arrangement will allow her to ditch at least one of
the deadbeat jobs she’s endured to keep from returning to the
horrors she left behind.
Keeping
their arrangement completely professional slowly becomes complicated
as attraction rises to the surface. Both of their futures are riding
on this arrangement working and neither can afford to lose the other.
“Mr.
Parker, with all due respect, we did not expect you would bring a
different woman to every event—“ Mr. Snyder says.
“What
the fuck do you want me to do? I can’t fucking sit here and let
them question my ability to run my company and in turn handle
billions of other people’s money, based upon whether or not I’m
in a relationship with someone. Everyone around this table knows I
am not in a committed relationship right now nor do I plan on being
in one anytime soon. I keep my private life private for a reason! I
don’t fucking date because I don’t want the paparazzi to see me
out with different women and then gossip about them as well. This
magazine, right here, is the exact reason I don’t fucking date!”
“Fuck,
Alex! Did you not hear me when I said I am not
in a relationship right now nor do I plan to be in one?! Where the
fuck do you propose I find someone who wants to drop everything and
go to events weekly, if not more often with me? Fuck, in the next
month I have at least seven or eight events that I need to attend…
I don’t even want to go to these things, so how the fuck can I find
someone else to go?”
It’s still hard
to wrap my head around the thought that she is the type of woman who
would accept money in exchange for a date. I can’t help but wonder
if her innocence is all some act, but at the same time, that
innocence was there the night we met her on the sidewalk after the
rainstorm. If I believe her, she had no idea who I was that night or
even tonight, although I’m sure as soon as she gets home tonight
she will be on Google, finding out everything she can about me. She
will not only learn that I’m one of New York’s youngest
billionaires, but she will also have the opportunity to read
everything the media has written about me including when they rake my
name through mud over my personal life. Ever since the plan my PR
department came up with backfired, I have been attending events solo,
which of course the media still thinks means I’m hiding something,
but at least I don’t have to hear about why I bring a different
woman to each event.
I wake up covered
in sweat, my heart beating erratically as I frantically look around
the room, expecting him to be standing there. When my brain
finally catches up to reality, my breathing finally begins to slow
down as I realize he isn’t here and can no longer hurt me. I
haven’t had a nightmare in a couple of weeks; they seem to come at
random times and always without warning.
“I hadn’t been
alone with a man, in more than two years, before I walked into your
apartment that night,” she finally says, albeit very quietly,
almost as if she’s afraid of what she is saying.
But I won’t, and
I can’t. I can’t jeopardize our arrangement, and more importantly
I would never hurt her. I’m not what she needs, what she deserves,
and I don’t think I ever could be. She deserves someone who comes
without baggage, someone who won’t have issues trusting her
completely. The realization that I could never be that man is the
equivalent of having a bucket of ice dumped down my swim trunks.
She pulls back
slightly from me until her face is only a couple inches from me, her
hands are still wrapped around my neck and mine around her waist. My
eyes find hers and immediately I feel like she is looking at me
differently. I feel like she can see right through me, as if she can
see deep into me. Suddenly, I feel… exposed.
On
Her Terms
The
Arrangement Duet Book 2
Lines
are blurred…
“It’s
just business,” billionaire businessman Nicholas Parker keeps
reminding himself. But when he stares into Kenzie Rose’s eyes, runs
his hands along her sexy body, any pretext of business flies out the
window.
The
stakes are escalating. Someone from his past is out to destroy his
reputation, his business, his life. Kenzie, and their fake
arrangement is the only answer. But what if the arrangement is not
enough? In more ways than one? More than his business is at
risk…
When
the passion ignites between them, Kenzie wonders if this is more than
business. And can she keep her own demons away? Can Nicholas save his
business and the woman he’s falling for? The danger is real, and
it’s not only his fortune he’s risking, it’s his heart, and
Kenzie’s future.
Is
he willing to sacrifice his heart for his career? Is he willing to
sacrifice everything for the love of a woman? And what will she
sacrifice? And what about their arrangement?
On
Her Terms is the explosive sequel to the wildly popular On His Terms
by Madison Quinn.
Madison
Quinn is a mom to three energetic boys who constantly keep her on the
go. She's also a wife to an amazing husband.
She
works full time in the human services industry and in her spare time
she enjoys reading and writing.
How long have you been writing?
Since high school, so roughly… okay
can we just say too many years? LOL Actually I took a long break
after high school when I went to college and only recently got back
into it.
Do the characters all come to you at
the same time or do some of them come to you as you write?
Usually they come as the story develops. The main characters will
often come to me at once, but it’s all the side characters that
come a little more slowly.
What kind of research do you do
before you begin writing a book?
It depends on the book and what’s
happening in the story.
Do you see writing as a career?
No, I don’t see it replacing my day
job. I think it’s between a hobby and a part time job.
What do you think about the current
publishing market?
I really love in the indie world. I
have met so many incredibly supportive authors that I don’t think I
would have found in the traditional market.
Do you read yourself and if so what
is your favorite genre?
Oh yes! I love to read. I probably read
more than I write. My favorite genre is contemporary romance but I’ve
also read dark romance, erotica, and paranormal romance.
Do you prefer to write in silence or
with noise? Why?
Noise… only because I’m not sure
what I would do with silence. Remember I have three kids LOL
Do you write one book at a time or
do you have several going at a time?
Usually one at a time but I’ll
usually have notes jotted down for a second or third book.
Pen or type writer or computer?
Computer.
