Aubrie Dionne - A Diva in Manhattan - HarperImpulse Contemporary Romance

“A one night dinner date with for two: him and the lucky lady whose purse is big enough to win the bid.”

“You mean you want me to pose as your son, dress up, put myself on the auction block, and take the winner out to dinner?”

She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes as if she’d underestimated him. “That’s right. And I’ll pay for every cent.”

“I don’t know.” The whole idea seemed too outlandish for someone who liked his world kept simple.

“Please, I won’t be able to find anyone else on such short notice, and it is for charity.”

A charity he believed in. Brett sighed as he considered what it would feel like to put on a tux and schmooze with all the hoity toities of New York. “My shift doesn’t end until seven.”

She clapped her hands together. “Perfect. That’s when the cocktails start.”

He ran his hands through his hair as apprehension tightened in his chest. “I’m not good at small talk. I’ve lived most of my life up in a log cabin in the middle of nowhere.”

She pointed a finger at him. “You’re smarter than you let on. Besides, it’s not like anyone your age has the money to win the bid. You’ll probably be taking out some old spinster like me for coffee. Believe me, you’ll be fine.”

Brett knew he was in too far over his head. But, he couldn’t ignore an organization like Project Wish. And it wasn’t like he was looking forward to a night alone with his thoughts to keep him company. This woman was pushy, but he found her sass endearing. She reminded him of a cross between his own grandmother and Rose from the Golden Girls. Not that he watched the reruns. Well, maybe sometimes he did.

“Okay.” He nodded slowly, convincing himself in the process. “Count me in.”
