PROLOGUE: Business as Usual Prologue by Denise Grover Swank
BUSINESS AS USUAL
Synopsis:
Lexi Pendergraft has given up on finding love after a
disastrous encounter with her last boyfriend. Instead, she focuses on two
things: One, setting up a summer program for underprivileged middle-school aged
students. And the second, getting to the bottom of her brother Reed’s recent
strange behavior. His secret is destroying his relationship with his fiancée
Caroline, and Lexi will do anything to help him save it. Especially after he
gave up his dream to give Lexi a chance at a semi-normal college experience,
something her parents threatened to steal from her after her rape a year ago.
Ben Masterson is determined to make it through his final semester of his senior year at Southern University. After recently losing his full ride scholarship, he’s suffering from sleep deprivation while trying to keep up with his mechanical engineering courses and working three part time jobs. He thinks he’s lucked out getting a job in the university math lab. The only problem is his boss—Reed Pendergraft.
As part of a role in a community theater play, Lexi wears a
black wig and feels a confidence she hasn’t experienced in over a year. When
she wears it to a bar close to the theater, she doesn’t think Ben, a bartender
there, recognizes her. While Ben’s intrigued about what she’s up to, he’s smart
enough to stay far away from his overprotective boss’s sister. Until fate
forces him to help her, but why won’t she tell him her real identity?

About Denise Grover
Swank:
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author Denise
Grover Swank was born in Kansas City, Missouri and lived in the area until she
was nineteen. Then she became a nomadic gypsy, living in five cities, four
states and ten houses over the course of ten years before she moved back to her
roots. She speaks English and smattering of Spanish and Chinese which she
learned through an intensive Nick Jr. immersion period. Her hobbies
include witty Facebook comments (in own her mind) and dancing in her kitchen
with her children. (Quite badly if you believe her offspring.) Hidden
talents include the gift of justification and the ability to drink massive
amounts of caffeine and still fall asleep within two minutes. Her lack of the
sense of smell allows her to perform many unspeakable tasks. She has six
children and hasn’t lost her sanity. Or so she leads you to believe.
