Penguin's InterMix has offered a rather spiffy giveaway today, and I'm so excited about it. Srsly. And not just about the book, either, though I have a weakness for books wherein weather throws people together. Snow, hurricanes, high humidity, whatever.
Stranded with the Billionaire is the first in a six book series from Jessica Clare who is also sometimes known as Jill Myles. Here's the cover copy:
Billionaire Logan Hawkings needs a vacation.
He’s had a rough time after the death of his father and the betrayal of his fiancée. But with a visit to a recent business acquisition—a private island resort in the Bahamas—he has a chance to mend his broken heart.
When a hurricane blows in, a misplaced passport and a stalled elevator bring Logan together with an unusual woman named Bronte. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met—down to earth, incredibly sensual, and even quotes Plato.
She also has no clue that he’s rich…
Bronte Dawson, a waitress from the Midwest, is stranded with the hotel’s domineering yet sexy manager Logan. What’s the harm in a little fling when it’s just the two of them, alone in paradise? But after several steamy island nights in Logan’s arms, Bronte’s ready to give her heart—and her body—to the man in charge.
But she soon discovers there’s more to Logan than he’s told her…a billion times more. Now, Bronte’s caught in a whirlwind affair with one of the world’s most powerful men. But can their love endure their differences or will it all just blow over?
The book goes on sale today (yay!) and it's priced at $2.99 (don't tell anyone, but I think that someone at Intermix fell and hit their head, because $2.99 is not a price they usually flirt with, let alone get stuck in elevators with).
But, if you'd like to win a copy, I've got 10!
InterMix Books will give away 10 e-books of Stranded with a Billionaire to 10 winners (open to US and international readers).
Each winner will receive the e-book as a “gift” via their choice of one of four retailers: Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, B&N Nook or Kobo.
Because WOO!

A subscription to the Economist!
An ebook reader, for moments when smutty inspiration flagged, or in case his conversation turned out to be less scintillating than his stock portfolio. 🙂
My toiletry bag would suffice 🙂
My chocolate brownies – no man can resist (or so my husband and 3 sons tell me)
Sense of humour
Wearing my latest purchase from Agent Provocateur;^)
Condoms!
My iphone. I get twitchy without it.
My iphone so I can call for help or tell my family not to worry about me.
Swiss Army Knife (because that would help feed me)!
A camera, to take photo proof that I WAS actually stranded with a hottie billionaire.
Yeah, I’m with Elisa – condoms was the first thing that leapt to mind.
My e-reader, because hottie billionaires tend to be pretty douchey.
I would want my accordion so that I could do a sweet serenade for a polka or two. Also, they may be allowed to have lessons on the accordion.
Need those 100ct box of condoms…..
If I were stranded with a billionaire, I’d want tissues. Lots and lots of tissues.
Bob Villa.
Because unless the billionaire has learned to rough it, we are going to die.
Definitely my toothbrush. Possibly one for him too.
A blanket! Crawling under it or laying it down to make good use of it.
My phone.
I’m going to cheat and say my purse because I could basically stuff my life in there.
My iPhone so we could work on some stock trading in our down time!
My razor, either you want smooth skin or something to use as weapon. You’re covered either way.
High heels because they make my legs look like WOW but could also be used as a weapon if the billionaire turns douchy
Sunscreen! I burned easily!
A pen, to write down his telephone number (no paper required 🙂 )
A nightgown that would emphasize my good parts and hide the less good – something flattering
My phone so that I could text everyone and document it with photos
I love your disclaimers.
I’d need a sharp, pointy stick if that Tazer ran out of batteries—although this billionaire doesn’t sound like an alphahole, which makes me want to read this much much more!
A smile
Private island resort, sexy man so I guess a great outfit I can wash and wear.
my kindle!!
My laptop with internet access, of course. The entire scenario just calls for live blogging. Not just for the billionaire angle, because I’m pretty sure there would be nothing more comical than me stranded, trying to figure out basic survival skills.
ereader
M&Ms;. Don’t ask me why.
Eight87: Because one eight is clearly not enough.
Definitely the toiletry bag. All of the essentials are in there!
I cannot lie, I’d take the e-book reader with me.
Free wifi!
To compare my billionaire with the fantasy ones on Goodreads, of course.
My ereader!
My e-reader, stuffed full of books, for the times when the billionaire is on the phone, wheeling and dealing.
