Alles begann mit einer falschen Stellenanzeige.Kein Wunder ...Ich bin ein professioneller Fluffer. Es ist nicht das, was du gerade gedacht hast. Ich arbeite als professionelle Haus-Stylistin. Immobilienmakler lieben mich, und meine Arbeit steht für sich selbst.Seufz ...Schmutzige Gedanken? Nur zu. Lach ruhig. Ich werde warten, bis du fertig bist.Verstehst du mich jetzt? Genau das ist das Problem. Mein Beruf verwendet den Begriff ¿Fluffer" schon seit Jahrzehnten.Ich wusste gar nicht, dass es dafür eine laszivere Definition gibt ... bis es zu spät war.Das Stellenangebot für einen professionellen Fluffer auf Craigslist scheint wie eine göttliche Intervention. Mein allerletztes Arbeitslosengeld ist bereits auf meinem Konto eingegangen, und ich bin verzweifelt.Die Miete ist fällig, und in der Anzeige steht: Barzahlung am Ende des Tages.Der perfekte Job!Ein Haus-Stylist rückt die Vorzüge eines Hauses ins rechte Licht, und das gleiche Prinzip gilt für den Dreh einer bestimmten Art von Filmen. Es stellt sich heraus, dass ein ¿Fluffer" dabei keine dekorativen Kissen arrangiert.Man arrangiert andere weiche und ... zylinderförmige Dinge.Der Job ist nicht hart. Ich meine, es geht schon darum, hart zu sein ... oder, ähm, anderen Leuten zu helfen, hart zu werden.

Ich bin ein verdammtes Meme! Ein Witzbild, auf dem ich nackt und verletzlich in sämtlichen sozialen Netzwerken bloßgestellt werde. Das kommt davon, wenn man seinem Freund im Anflug jugendlichen Leichtsinns erlaubt, Nacktfotos von einem zu machen. Fragt lieber nicht, damals ergab das für mich Sinn, weil ich ja sooo verliebt war!Doch dann hat dieser hinterhältige Mistkerl die Fotos auf einer Webseite gepostet. Dreimal dürft ihr raten, was danach passiert ist. Dank der immer besser funktionierenden Gesichtserkennungssoftwares werde ich auch heute noch - Jahre später - wirklich jedes Mal markiert, wenn jemand die Fotos teilt. Und ich habe es satt!Die Phase der Scham und Wut habe ich inzwischen überwunden, stattdessen will ich es ihm endlich heimzahlen - auf die gleiche Art und Weise. Er soll wissen, wie ich mich nach seinem Verrat gefühlt habe. Also zieh dich warm an, mein Lieber!Allerdings gibt es ein Problem: Wie um alles in der Welt komme ich an meinen Ex heran? Er ist mittlerweile ein Abgeordneter des US-Repräsentantenhauses und wird von einer Horde Politiker-Groupies umschwärmt. Damit bin ich nur eine von vielen, die zu ihm ins Bett kriechen wollen, wenn auch aus anderen Gründen. Denn ich will keinen Ruhm, sondern Rache. Und dafür brauche ich ein paar kompromittierende Fotos von ihm.Aber dann kommt es wieder einmal anders: Ich habe mich in ihn verliebt. Schon wieder!

All of our best dates end up in the emergency room....I planned the perfect proposal. Plenty of lobster, caviar, champagne and-her favorite-tiramisu. The perfect setting. The perfect woman.The perfect everything.Dad gave me my late mother's engagement ring, platinum and diamonds galore. Shannon wouldn't care if I slid a giant hard-candy ring on her finger instead of a three-carat diamond designed to impress.But my future mother-in-law, Marie, will pass out when she sets eyes on that rock, and that will give us two minutes of blessed silence. That woman talks more than Kim Kardashian flashes her bare backside on the internet.I was going to make it perfect, from the color of the tablecloth to the freshness of the roses.And it was perfect.Until Shannon swallowed the ring.* * *Shopping for a Billionaire's Fiancée gives near-billionaire Declan McCormick the chance to tell his story in this continuation of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire series.

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.It's time for revenge. Let him see how it feels!

It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.I'm a professional fluffer. It's NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I'll wait.See? That's the problem. My career has used the term "fluffer" for decades. I didn't even know there was a more... lascivious definition of the term.Until it was too late.The ad for a "professional fluffer" on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job!Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a "fluffer" doesn't arrange decorative pillows on a couch.They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.The job isn't hard. Er, I mean, it is - it's about being hard. Or, well... helping other people to be hard.Oh, man...And that's the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham - my high school crush. The owner of the house where we're filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what's easier than I ever imagined?Having all my dreams come true.

Fiercely protective of his small town in rural Maine, he's determined to save the family tree business and avoid his feelings at all costs, no matter how much he longs to solve the mystery of what happened in D.C.L.A. native Rachel Hart hates being underestimated almost as much as she hates this small town.
