You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Colleen, who is hoping to find this romance:
Ack! I have been searching for this book and am beginning to think I made it up. Okay, so the heroine works for a financial risk/management company and has traveled to South Africa (I think) with her boss to pitch to the hero. They want him to use their company. He is a risk-taking surfer, so the boss learns surfing terms and it goes horribly.
However, the heroine catches his interest (of course). There’s a scene in a bar where and a spider is involved? He and another man complete a “dare” to secure a business deal of some kind?
Eventually, he chooses their business but only if she is in charge of the account.
Later, she and the hero spend time on an island together. She learns the hero used to date a swimsuit model.
Ugh. That’s all I can remember. Help!
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I’m super intrigued – want to read the book now!!
This doesn’t sound familiar at all but once the Bitchery figures it out, I will read it!
Joss Wood or Natasha Anders, maybe
Could it be Forbidden Surrender by Priscilla West? One of the reviews on Amazon described the plot of the book as: ”In Forbidden Surrender recent Harvard graduate and wealth manager Kristen Daley and her colleague have traveled to South Africa to pitch tattooed surfer turned self-made Billionaire Vincent Sorenson on their wealth management company investing his fortune.”
@Kai YES!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You totally made my day! I’ve been searching for months! Thank goodness for HaBo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
