Wicked Muse

An Inn Decent Proposal Wicked Muse

Recovering gambler Jim Rawlings works as a mid-level manager at one of the largest casino resorts in the country, La Bonne Chance Resort and Casino. Despite employee rules about gambling on site, temptation calls his name daily. After finding himself standing in front of poker table once too often, Jim decides he can't stay in the casino, no matter how good the money is. He takes a drive around town and finds a down on its luck hotel for sale. It's as if his prayers are answered. He must have it. Sous Chef Genie King is living her dream, working in one of the finest restaurants in the casino, if not the country. The only problem is the executive chef is a madman and she longs to have a place to call her own. When a frying pan nearly hits her head, Genie runs out of the kitchen and jumps into her car. She has no idea where she is going, but she can't go back to that job. When she sees the aging mansion with the for sale sign, she knows she must have it. Jim takes the biggest chance of his life-bidding at auction for a once-grand inn. Genie never expects another LBC employee to bid at the sale-much less the guy she had a major crush on in high school. Working together means Jim must share long-hidden secrets. Will Genie reject the man with a past? Or will she love the man he's become?
