AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
Romance is the biggest scheme of them all in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from beloved author Alexa Martin.
Emerson Pierce loves everything about being a kindergarten teacher except the painfully low salary. It isn’t until she hears about Petunia Lemon—an opportunity to sell makeup products, make some extra money, and meet a group of skin-care aficionados—that she begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, it sounds a little too good to be true, but what’s the worst that could happen?
Investigative reporter Lucas Miller didn’t always have a chip on his shoulder...until his wife joined Petunia Lemon, drained their savings, and filed for divorce. Now he’s a little bitter, a lot single, and determined to expose the company. After infiltrating their largest convention yet, the last thing he expects is to lose sight of his mission for one night with the gorgeous woman at the bar.
When Emerson and Lucas learn that she’s his daughter’s teacher, they decide to ignore their scorching chemistry. Until things with Petunia Lemon turn downright diabolical and Emerson turns to Lucas for help. They work together to bring the company down but can the two come out on top in this pyramid scheme of love?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A multilevel marketing scheme leads to unexpected love in this entertaining rom-com from Martin (Next-Door Nemesis). Kindergarten teacher Emerson Pierce became a representative for skin care company Petunia Lemon to supplement her income. While at a Petunia Lemon convention in Denver, she meets dreamy Lucas Miller at the hotel's rooftop bar and they share a memorable night together. The next morning, however, Lucas reveals that he's an investigative journalist working on an exposé about Petunia Lemon and bashes Emerson for working with them. What Emerson doesn't know is that Lucas's ex-wife was sucked in by the MLM and ran the family's finances into the ground before abandoning them. Now Lucas is left to see his daughter through kindergarten alone. He's shocked when the first day of school rolls around and Emerson turns out to be her teacher. Eventually, Emerson recognizes Petunia Lemon for the scam it is, and she offers to work with Lucas to expose the company's lies from the inside. The result is an equally sweet and scintillating romance that offers plentiful humor and a feel-good vibe enhanced by Emerson's supportive friend group. Readers will have no trouble rooting for this cute couple.
