Synopsis
The Perfect Boyfriend picks up right where we left Reagan
and Ian in The Boyfriend List.
As their friendship blossoms quickly into a steamy romance,
Reagan and Ian have to learn to navigate their shifting relationship...and
everything that entails. But their newfound bliss doesn’t come without a few
unexpected challenges.
In the midst of realizing just how sweet the romance can be
between them, and all the benefits of their new dynamic, Reagan is informed
that her ideal situation has changed. Not only will she need to begin taking on
more classes to speed up her graduation date, but she’ll also have to start
looking for a job to supplement her fading income. Meanwhile, Ian has chosen to
pull out of school once his father is diagnosed with a terminal illness in
order to help manage the family business and spend time with him while he still
can. But he wrestles with the guilt of leaving Reagan behind, and the pressure
of his new responsibilities.
As the two meet their new challenges head-on, they’ll be
forced to discover whether or not they’re as compatible as lovers as they were
as friends. With their focus pulled in so many directions, will they have what
it takes to keep a long distance relationship alive? Can Ian prove that he’s
still be the perfect boyfriend, or will they fold to statistics under the
growing tensions of their lives? Throw in some manipulative exes, a new boss
with an inflated ego, and a co-worker from hell and the two have a recipe for
either a fairy tale ending, or a complete disaster.
The Perfect Boyfriend is a New Adult Romance about trust,
love, and discovering the true depths of personal strength.

Excerpt
Reagan’s time with Ian was never long enough. Not really.
Not when she was still used to having him in her life every day – man she’d
really taken that for granted, hadn’t she? But her moments with him now were
sweeter, more complete. And the remainder of the weekend had passed without any
other dramatic events. It would hold her over until the next time they could
steal some time together. At least, she hoped it would.
But now it was over. And she was back to her regular
schedule. Except this week was a little different.
This week she’d throw her new internship into the mix and
learn just how good of a juggler she could be – her class schedule, new
assignments, friendships, her relationship, the internship and anything else
that the universe cared to throw at her. It was no joke, that was for sure, and
Reagan was beginning to feel all of the pressures that the outside world held
for her once she graduated. But she could manage it, she remind herself as she
changed clothes for her new role. She didn’t have any other choice but to make
it all work somehow.
After having picked up a few new outfits to compliment her
new important role – using some of the money she’d kept from the club, of
course - Petra had helped her coordinate the rest of her wardrobe to expand her
options. And the result was at least a couple weeks worth of choices that had
left her feeling confident, appropriate, and ready to impress. Every little
detail counted, and her poise when she stepped through the large glass doors
that first day spoke volumes toward her ambitions. Reagan had set herself up to
succeed in every possible way.
Having no real instruction with which to work from on how to
approach her first day, she strode up to the receptionist, who this time
greeted her with a friendly smile. Success already, she
thought to herself, and her smile widened that much more. “Welcome back
Reagan.” The woman began. “You’re all going to be starting in the conference
room today. Around that corner and through the second door.”
“All?” Reagan had known she wasn’t the only intern, but the
phrase made it seem like there was an army in attendance, and the thought sent
a little shiver of nerves up her spine.
“There’s three of you. You have a quick orientation
together, then it’s all smooth sailing from there.”
Reagan nodded as she contemplated this answer. Nothing was
ever exactly smooth sailing when you threw a bunch of competitive girls
together and told them to battle it out to impress the new boss. But one could
always hope for the best...
The heels she’d chosen tapped lightly as she clipped down
the slick hall and toward the door marked, Conference, #2.
She noticed her hand trembling as she lifted it to turn the handle. Taking a
deep breath, she tried to let go of all her anxious energy – just be
yourself, she lectured – then she forced a huge smile over her face.
But when she stepped through the door, her face immediately
fell. All the calm composure she’d just summoned drained from her body and left
her face as white as the stark walls. The shaking returned, only it wasn’t from
nerves now. Her body was riddled with anger, contempt and yes, even a little
humor as she considered the universe’s latest irony.
Because the first person to turn around when she stepped
into the room was Isabella. The Isabella. The Isabella who
had stolen her boyfriend. Who had tried to seduce Ian. And had otherwise made
her existence miserable. The Isabella who had ruined spring break, nearly
ruined Petra’s party, and had caused Reagan to question almost everything she
knew about people. That Isabella was nearly three feet
away from her, dressed in a fitted color-block dress she’d probably picked up
at Bebe just to show off her flawless figure. Apparently, whatever dislike
Reagan had for her was a mutual feeling, since she was smirking in recognition
as she gave Reagan a long, lingering, stare meant to intimidate and demean
without saying a single word.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” The words slipped from
Reagan’s lips before she could stop them, and she found herself regretting the
thought the moment she’d heard it.
