UGLY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER...
My name is Lily Snow. I am twenty-five
years old, and despite being born with an unattractive face, I have never
doubted who I am: smart, driven, and beautiful on the inside.
Until I met
Maxwell Cole.
He's handsome, excessively wealthy, and the
owner of Cole Cosmetics. It's been my dream to work for this man for as long as
I can remember. The good news is he wants to hire me. The bad news is he wants
me for all the wrong reasons. Ugly reasons.
In exchange, he's offered me my dreams on a
silver platter. The job. The title. A beautiful future. But this man is as
messed up and ugly as they come on the inside. I'm not sure anyone can help
him, and he just might take my heart down with him
“Lily Snow?” I heard a woman call my name.
I looked over at the slender, gorgeous
redhead, not much older than me, wearing a fitted blue dress and strappy blue
heels. Her smoky, mascara-caked eyes scanned the nearly empty lobby, looking
right over my head.
“Hi. I’m Lily Snow.”
Her eyes fell on my face with a spark of
shock she quickly tried to conceal. “You’re…Miss Snow?”
I gave her a quick nod.
“Oh,” she said stiffly. “Don’t you have
lovely hair.”
Her comment was what I liked to call a
“conscience clearer.” It was when someone realized they just acted like a
coldhearted ass and then quickly tried to make it up to me with a compliment.
Usually about my long, wavy blonde hair or my “cute little body.”
I stood from my chair and extended my hand.
“Thanks. I’ll trade my hair for your shoes. Your Manolos are to die for.” They
were a limited release made just for Oscar season. Very expensive.
My shoes, for the record, were Franco Sarto
heels I’d found on clearance at The Rack, black and simple, just like my pencil
skirt and blouse. I would’ve loved to wear something more expensive, but the
job I’d been in—a one-year consulting project at B&H Cosmetics—was for the
experience rather than a big paycheck. I could’ve done better, but I’d had my
sights on C.C., and I knew Mr. Cole, the owner, worked at B&H right after
college.
I’m
on your heels, big man.
A little smile popped on the redhead’s
face. “My boyfriend got them for me,” she said, doing a little pivot to show
off the shoes. “He works for Babs Levine.”
Uh.
Wow. Babs was the world’s top formal dress
designer, who once worked for some of the biggest names in fashion before going
out on her own. She practically owned the red carpet this last season.
“Well,” I smiled, “if you ever get tired of
your boyfriend, I’m single.”
She laughed so loud her voice echoed off
the sterile-looking walls of the lobby. “I don’t think so.”
I wasn’t sure if she’d meant she’d never
give the guy up or that he’d never go for me in a million years.
Both.
Definitely both. I didn’t take offense, though. I’d
made the comment to break the ice, and it worked. She introduced herself as
Keri and became all smiles and warm chatter on the elevator ride up. I liked
her immediately.

B&N top-100 lists multiple times and have been #1 genre sellers around the

your dreams.
When not screaming at her computer or

hubby, and her rat terrier, DJ Princess Snowflake, in the San Francisco Bay
Area.
She continues to hope that her books will
inspire a leather pants comeback (for men) and that she might make you laugh
when you need it most.
