Boston, Massachusetts – Present Day
Brooke Winfield has always been the conservative daughter of one
of Boston’s finest families. She currently works as a display
designer at a department store, and one night while working, she
tries on one of the mannequin outfits for fun. While dressed in
the sexy dress, Brooke witnesses a motorcycle accident. The injured
man is one gorgeous hunk of a man that she learns is former baseball
superstar David Carrera. Soon she’s riding on the back of
his motorcycle and continuing to dress in daring outfits to pretend
to David she’s free and wild. There’s something about
David that tempts Brooke into throwing caution to the wind. Add
in a Martini & Bikini Club dare, and Boston’s tongues
may soon be wagging.
David just wants to escape the glare of the press and get back
to what he loves doing best: playing baseball. A year ago, he walked
away from the game, and Boston won’t let him forget. He’s
trying to finagle a meeting with the Red Sox management, but is
waylaid by his sudden burst of attraction for Brooke. She’s
daring, beautiful, and sexy…the kind of lady David feels he
doesn’t deserve. However, that doesn’t stop him from
walking on the wild side with her. But will their wild escapades
land them on the front page of newspapers? Can baseball’s
bad boy hook up with one of Boston’s blue bloods?
A wild ride right from the start, get ready to rumble with Brooke
and David in MY FRONT PAGE SCANDAL. Brooke has always adhered to
being prim and proper but has felt dissatisfied. A recent upheaval
in her life has her ready to bust out of the gate and do something
wild and crazy…like dress in a barely there outfit, even if
only for a minute. But with the appearance of David -- and his crash
-- her life may never be the same. David’s reputation is that
he is always unconventional, but Brooke soon learns that he puts
on a happy-go-lucky face for the world, and deep down is a complex
man. Will Brooke be the one to unlock his secrets? What about Brooke…is
being wild the real her, or just something temporary?
David has his reasons for walking away from the Boston Red Sox,
but he isn’t ready to say why, which doesn’t please
the fans, especially since the damn Yankees are in the playoffs
and the Sox aren’t. He needs to lay low until after he meets
with management, but with the delectable Brooke tempting him, and
the paparazzi hot on his tail looking for scandal, he’s bound
to draw attention he doesn’t need. Intermingled are family
secrets held by both David and Brooke that could prove to be juicy
fodder for the gossips rags.
The chemistry is hot between David and Brooke, as is the sexily
funny banter that is a mark of a Carrie Alexander story. I lost
track of how many times I chuckled as I read MY FRONT PAGE SCANDAL.
And, not to give away any spoilers but, whew, grab the ice bucket,
as readers will also get a blazingly hot story.
I highly recommend you run to your nearest bookstore and grab your
copy of MY FRONT PAGE SCANDAL.
