A Companion Novel to The Proposition and The Proposal
After her former boyfriend left her pregnant and alone, Megan
McKenzie swore off men. She spent the last eighteen months
focused solely on her son, Mason, along with finishing nursing
school at the top of her class. Although she’s not ready to
complicate her life with a long-term relationship, a nice no-
strings attached hook-up is just what she needs. At her godson,
Noah’s, baptism, she finds the perfect candidate in the soft-spoken
godfather, Pesh Nadeen. After all, the widower could use a good
time too. But after drinking too much, the night doesn’t end the
way she thought it would. Forced to leave Pesh’s house through a
walk of shame, Megan hopes to never, ever see him again.
For Pesh Nadeen, the very sight of Megan sends him into an
emotional tailspin. Since she reminds him too much of what he has
lost, he wants to be out of her sight…at first. But the more he gets
to know her, there's something about the diminutive blonde that
causes his protective side to go into overdrive, and he finds himself
wanting more. When Megan is assigned to work in his ER to
complete her nursing clinicals, he sees it as fate, but she’s having
no part of it. She only wants a physical relationship while he wants
far more.
What happens next is a sexy game of cat and mouse to see who
will break first or if both of them will eventually get more than
they ever bargained for.

TEASER:
“So, will you have dinner with me?”
Pesh leaned forward expectantly as Megan opened her mouth. They were interrupted
by the sound of Emma’s voice. “Oh thank God. I’m so glad you two are on .”
Her anxious tone was the only thing that could have torn Pesh’s attention away from
Megan. He glanced from Emma to Aidan, who was grimacing and rubbing his head.
“What happened?”
Emma replied, “He fell and hit his head,” at the same time Aidan grunted,
“Nothing.”
Megan stepped forward and went over to Aidan. She gasped as she surveyed him.
“Ankle, your pupils are huge!”
Pesh took his penlight out of his coat pocket and went to Aidan. As he flashed the
light into Aidan’s eyes, he grimaced. “Yeah, they are. What exactly happened?” He made
sure to direct his question to Emma since she appeared to be the only one being honest.
“We were at my OB’s for our first ultrasound.”
Pesh’s eyes widened. “Ultrasound…you’re pregnant?”
“Again?” Megan questioned by his side.
The concern for Aidan on Emma’s face washed away and was replaced with a
beaming smile. “Yes, I’m eight weeks.”
“Why didn’t you say something at dinner Sunday?” Megan asked.
“Well, I only found out two weeks ago, and we wanted to wait to tell everyone until
we had the first ultrasound.”
Megan’s blonde brows creased. “So what does the ultrasound have to do with Ankle
hitting his head?”
Emma pursed her lips and cut her gaze over to Aidan. “Would you like to tell them?”
When he shook his head and then winced, Emma sighed. “When they hooked me up to
the fetal monitor, they thought they heard two heartbeats. At the word ‘twins’, Aidan
passed out and hit his head on the counter and the floor.”
While Pesh quickly turned a laugh into a cough, Megan wasn’t so tactful. She burst
out laughing. “You seriously passed out during the ultrasound?”
Aidan scowled at her. “In my defense, it wasn’t quite the ultrasound yet.” At
Megan’s continued laughter, he shrugged. “It was pretty mind-blowing news.”
“Oh Ankle, honestly.”
Aidan turned to Pesh. “So am I going to stand around all day getting shit, or are you
going to examine me?”
Pesh nodded. “Of course. Your pupils are definitely a matter of concern.”
Glancing at Emma, Aidan said, “Just wait for me here.”
“Okay.”
Pesh motioned for Aidan to go into the first examining room. As soon as the door
closed behind him, Aidan lunged for him, grabbing the lapels of his white coat. “I need a
vasectomy. Today.”
Pesh fought the urge to laugh at the absurdity of the situation as well as Aidan’s
desperation. “Okay, let’s get you to sit down. You’ve obviously been through a lot of
trauma in the last hour.”
Aidan plopped onto the examining table. He buried his head in his hands and
groaned. “What a fucking nightmare of a day.”
“Does your head hurt?” Pesh asked.
“A little.”
“Any nausea?”
“Maybe.”
Pesh furrowed his brows. “What do you mean, maybe?”
Aidan raised his head. “If you’re asking if I’m nauseated now, the answer would be
no. I’m not. But on the other hand, if you’re asking if I get nauseous thinking about the
fact that Emma could have been pregnant with twins, and I would have had three kids
under two and in diapers…” Aidan shuddered. “Then yeah, I get really fucking nauseous,
and the room starts to spin a little.”

5 hot, sweeping stars
OMG get your tissues out and ready. Also be prepared to
laugh.
We met Pesh in The Proposal.
Emma and Pesh met the hospital when Aidan’s dad, Patrick had a heart
attack.
Pesh is hot, funny, smart and loving. He is the total
package. As he says he has a hero complex.
We met Megan in The Proposal as well. She has a son named
Mason from a previous relationship. Megan is working hard at becoming a nurse
while handling motherhood. She really hasn’t met Pesh but had heard a few
things about him from Emma.
Pesh and Megan finally meet at Noah’s baptism. They were
selected to be Noah’s godparents. Little did they know that Aidan and Emma
wanted them to date and actually get married. They figured that Pesh was good
for Megan and Megan was good for Pesh.
We know that Pesh lost his wife. We also find out what
happened with Megan and how Mason comes about. Megan isn’t looking for a
relationship; she just wants sex, no strings attached. As Aidan said “She’s a
man whore?” OMG I never would have thought of Megan that way. But now I do and
did. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of woman out there who want that. We
have our needs as well as men do.
Pesh is determined to get Megan to have a relationship with
him. He goes out of his way to make this possible. He takes her flying, he
spends time with Mason. Everything to tear that wall down that is built up
around Megan’s heart. He knows she was burned in a few relationships. She
wasn’t treated how woman should have been treated. Megan had a hard time, but loved how Pesh
treated her and how he spoke to her.
I can promise you that you will shed a tear, and you will
laugh your butt off. One minute I was drying my eyes, then the next I was laughing
so hard my husband asked me what was so funny.
In The Pairing you will get the back story of both
characters and how they came about to be where they are today. You will also
meet Pesh’s family. So get ready.
You will fall in love with Pesh and how he treats Megan and
Mason. You will swoon over him when he offers the most amazing thing ever which
will turn the water works on and you will have a hard time turning them off. I
want to say so much more. But I don’t want to give too much away. If you have read
The Proposition and The Proposal you will most defiantly love The Pairing.
Katie did such an amazing job telling both their stories. You will absolutely
love the ending. Like I said get your tissues out.
