Immersed
Jennifer Griffith
Lisette Pannebaker speaks five languages and has a brilliant business plan—personal language immersion. Clients can hire her to shadow them and speak all day in any language they need to learn for business or travel—whatever. But there’s a major hitch: she’s far too pretty. Clients with less than honorable intentions sign up just have Lisette at their side. Solution? A make-under. Way under.It works like a charm. None of her male clients show her the least bit of interest. Until… Erik. Erik Gunnarsson is charming, kind, and smart—everything she’s ever looked for. Even though he seems to have a secret and she swore she'd never date a client, Lisette is tempted to shed her disguise—even if it means jeopardizing her career.
Excerpt
This was it, the day she’d waited and worked for over the
past years—her degree would be firmly in her hand. Lisette Pannebaker, Master
of Business Administration. Her smile even made her eyes scrunch.
Dad’s dress shirt would’ve popped buttons, had he been here
to see her.
But it wasn’t just the degree. Chances were that tonight
she’d have something else in hand. Or, rather, on her hand. She’d seen
the little navy velvet box on Justin’s coffee table—he’d left it in plain sight
when she came by to drop off dinner for him last night—and she’d nearly fainted
from heart palpitations last week when he’d dragged her past windows sparkling
with diamonds and asked whether she thought round cut or brilliant cut had more
fire.
Brilliant cut, of course.
Ah, Justin Fox. She sighed
for his blond crew cut, his square jaw. Mrs. Justin Fox. It fit. Lisette
Pannebaker, student, no more. Now she’d be Mrs. Justin Fox, Master of Business
Administration.
Jennifer Griffith studied French, German, Japanese, and a wee bit of Spanish in her school days. Her grandmother was Norwegian, and Jennifer grew up with lots of Scandinavian traditions floating around, including fabulous cardamom laced cookies called Krumkaker, made on a fancy waffle iron. However, she’d never dream of trying to teach someone any of those languages. And she might botch the cookies. Instead, she writes novels in English, drives her five kids a million places, and laughs with her husband, who came up with the plot for Immersed because he’s just a cool muse like that.
