FIRST IN A NEW SERIES! "This book will make your heart smile." -Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author This sparkling debut dives right in to everything funny, flirty, and fiery about modern dating with the tale of a sexy singles auction that comes with the prize of a lifetime… As far as Cherry Ryan is concerned, the bright lights of Hollywood are nothing but glare after her heart is broken on a reality show for millions to see. Instead she's throwing herself into fundraising for the local community center that was a priceless lifeline to her as a kid. But when a volunteer for the singles auction bails at the last minute, Cherry finds herself on the block-and sold to Jason Valentine, a handsome contractor with a gorgeous body-and a really bad attitude about her days in the limelight… Cherry soon finds that Jason's more than eye candy, and not entirely sweet-especially his quest to win the bid for the center's renovation. Mixing business with pleasure doesn't seem like such a good idea-until Jason has a chance to reveal the big heart beneath his surly exterior. Cherry's falling for him hard, but trust isn't easy when you've been burned. To conquer her fears will take a giant leap of faith-straight into the spotlight again… "A charming, warm-hearted story."-Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author "Gail Chianese is a spunky, spirited, and sassy new voice in contemporary romance with a series destined for the keeper shelf!"-Roxanne St. Claire, New York Times bestselling author "The West Side Romance series is like the perfect pick-me-up latte-hot and steamy, with a layer of frothy fun on the top!"--Jessica Andersen, New York Times bestselling author "Convincing characters, hot love scenes, and emotional depth."-Library Journal on Bachelorette for Sale (starred review)
