The Playboy Project Book Cover Enlarge Book Cover
An experiment in pleasure… 

With the playboy millionaire! 

Accused of being a cold fish, wildlife biologist Hermione Scott conducts a sexy experiment—a one-night stand with a gorgeous stranger! But when that stranger turns out to be infamous playboy Michael Clayton, she finds herself with a career-threatening conflict of interest. Michael’s hotel-tycoon father hired her as an environmental consultant, so she strives to keep their connection a secret. But when she’s forced to work with the far-younger man, she falls for his charms…again and again. And Michael seems to see her in a way no other man has. Is she just another notch on his bedpost, or could love be a viable hypothesis?

Born Missouri, Michele lives in her childhood hometown and travels frequently, with the places she visits inspiring her writing.
