It's Tag Crane's job to be the life of the
party. Traveling from one exotic locale to another is just part of running the
luxurious Crane Hotel empire. But even paradise isn't perfect. Devising a new business
strategy is keeping Tag up at night-and so is the Great Dane barking at all
hours in the apartment below his. To muzzle the problem, Tag charges downstairs
. . . right into the most beautiful, blond distraction he's ever seen.
“Why is it you look like you’re
thinking something sinister?” he asked, that eyebrow arcing higher. “And don’t
lie to me, Dimples. I have a sixth sense.” She watched his slow smile, white
teeth appearing as his trimmed beard parted. Her nether regions buzzed like she’d
sat on a vibrating phone.
“I’m surprised . . .” she
started, feeling daring. Must be the Kona coffee.
“Because?”
“Because I expected you to
induct me into the Mile High Club by now. This is my first private flight.” She
looked at him through her lashes, her coy smile in place.
Tag wore an all-out grin, which
made her inordinately pleased. Where she was concerned, he wasn’t immune. And
she liked that. A lot.
“Excuse me.” Smoothly, he shut
his laptop, stood, and walked from cabin to cockpit.
Okay. That was interesting. She
hadn’t expected him to leave. Maybe she didn’t have the same power over him as
he had over her.
She turned to look out the
window, but the nighttime landscape was nothing but blackness. She imagined a
sea of clouds and blue skies once the sun rose, anticipating being someplace
where the high was above freezing. She wondered what the temperature was on—
“Let’s go.” Her hand was
snatched a moment later as Tag pulled her out of her seat and led her to the
bedroom.
“Wait,” she said through her
laughter as she hustled after him. “What are you doing?”
In the bedroom, he released her,
closed the door, and whipped off his shirt. She gasped, her eyes eating up his tanned
muscles and bulky arms.
“Making you a member.” He caught
the back of her head in his hand and kissed her. She melted beneath his touch.
She was hopelessly attracted to him. Just an absolute goner.
When she caught a breath of air,
she said, “Where did you go?”
“Told the pilot to take the long
way.”
“There’s a longer way to
Hawaii?”
“There is now.”
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR Blitz Q&A
1. Can you give
us a little insight into Rachel and Tag and what you think are their best
qualities?
Oh, I love
this question!
Rachel is careful.
She’s untrusting thanks to a lying, conniving ex-boyfriend, and, thanks to an
outburst at work to confront him, finds herself out of her marketing job and
working as a fulltime bartender/part-time pet sitter. Her best quality has to
be her friendship. Rachel is a friend you’d want to have—she’s there for you,
and she’s incredibly loyal which is why her ex’s manipulation hurt her so
deeply.
Tag’s best
quality is his laid-back, supportive persona. He comes off as this playful,
fun-loving type, which he is, but he’s also a hard worker and knows better than
to take himself too seriously. When Rachel and Tag get together, her loyalty
and his ability to let her shine combine for some hot fireworks.
2. What was the
most challenging part of writing THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR?
Letting
Rachel say NO to Tag! I mean the guy is a drop-dead gorgeous billionaire who
wants to provide anything and everything for Rachel. Who wouldn’t want to be
pampered?! Rachel is working hard not to rely on a man, so she continues
turning down his money and his offers. He does get her to comply, (finally!).
Rachel deserves to be treated well, so it was fun to write the scenes where she
lets go—both in the bedroom and out. *saucy wink*
3. Where can
readers find out more about your books and news on what's coming soon?
The best
place to learn about my books is my website (www.jessicalemmon.com). I keep it updated with fun banners, behind the scenes posts and
photos, and occasionally do a blog giveaway. My monthly newsletter is also lots
of fun. You can see a sample newsletter here [http://www.jessicalemmon.com/the-lemmon-15-september-2016/]
and you can sign up for the monthly inbox treat here [http://eepurl.com/8t_UP].
4. What was
your favorite part of the book?
When Tag points
out that he knows Rachel is staring at him. He interrupts their discussion with
a “Like what you see?” then says my favorite line EVER. “Touch me.” (Le swoon!)
5. Who was your
favorite character to write?
Tag Crane!
He was constantly blurting out things I had no idea he’d say, and he was this
interesting mix of brash and cocky, playful and fun. He was also adorably
clueless at times—ladies, you know what I’m talking about here. You can’t help
but like him, and fall for him. Rachel never stood a chance.
6. Who inspired
the characters in this book?
Tag: Brock
O’Hurn – if you don’t know him, get to know him. YUM.
Rachel: A
mix of a few photos. She was more in my head.

7. What do you
hope readers will take away from reading THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR?
Laughs and
Luxury. Readers can indulge in a much-needed break since this book is the
ultimate fantasy: a billionaire bad boy for a date to Hawaii! Early reviewers
rave that THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR is “hilarious” and “laugh out loud funny”
which is so awesome to hear. I laughed a lot while I wrote the dialog.
