| Captivating the CEO available HERE |
By Sara Daniel
It’s that
time of year again, where we’re trying to find the perfect gift for the special
people in our lives, and if that special someone happens to be a CEO who has
everything, what the heck do you buy for him or her? I mean, they probably
already have everything, and let’s be honest anything that has a chance of
impressing a mega-successful CEO is waaayyyyy beyond my budget.
So, I did
a bit of research and hunted down Willow Jeffries, a massage therapist who specializes
in giving massages to CEOs who are too busy to leave their offices to get to
the spa. Naturally, in her professional opinion, she considers a gift
certificate for an office massage to be a good bet. But if you’re the type who
sees a white collar guy and automatic heads for the men’s clothing department,
here are Willow’s personal thoughts on the subject (as excerpted from Captivating
the CEO):
Colin set aside his
earpiece and laptop, then crossed the room and shoved his arms back into his
shirt sleeves. After buttoning his crisp white shirt, he looped a blue tie
around his neck.
She didn’t recall him
ever wearing another color in her presence. “Are all your ties blue, or do you
only own one?”
“I change at least once
a day, sometimes twice.” Opening an oversized cabinet door, he gestured to
several suit bags, a half dozen white shirts and a dozen blue ties. Some ties
sported a muted stripe, others a subtle paisley design.
Without staring at them
lined next to each other, she wouldn’t have discerned a difference. “Well,
Christmas shopping for you will be easy. White shirt, blue tie. Check.” Of
course, if she bought him a gift, she’d attempt to rock his wardrobe with a
tie-dye shirt or, even better, Rudolph boxers with a prominent, glowing red
nose.
While winding his tie
and securing it in a snug knot against his starched, buttoned collar, he cocked
an eyebrow at her. “Do you buy presents for clients?”
“If the mood strikes.”
Unable to hold his gaze without leading him on, she shrugged and glanced at the
clock above the treadmill. “Anyway, you’re not a client at the moment. Your
session ended two minutes ago, and you don’t have any upcoming sessions booked,
so I’m on personal time.”
“That sounds promising.”
He winked. “How much personal time do you want to devote to me?”
Despite having no future
to offer, she stepped toward him and looped her arms around his neck. “Enough
for a kiss, to start with.”
Instead of rushing to
open a phone conversation with someone on the other side of the world, he
smiled and bent his head. “Let’s make it a memorable one.”
So it’s
official. Next time I have a CEO on my gift life, I’m going to buy him Rudolph
boxers, and I’m definitely going to enjoy that glowing red nose! What fun
things are you shopping for this year?
He only plans for the future. She might not have
a future.
When
live-for-the-moment massage therapist Willow Jeffries bursts into Colin
Vanderhayden's office, she makes it her mission to loosen up the future-focused
CEO, knowing each moment of the present is too precious to waste. Despite her
immediate attraction, the only future she can offer is one full of heartache.
The last
thing Colin needs is a flighty woman messing up his carefully-constructed
plans, but her heavenly massages and addictive personality prove hard to
resist. But he has no idea how sick she is.
No longer
able to ignore her life-threatening medical condition, Willow slips away to
spare Colin a miserable future with her. Is Colin willing to sacrifice his
well-laid future plans to get Willow back?
