Kissing
Mr. Scrooge
The
DataMatch Series, Book One
by
Kary Rader
They
say, when you graduate from high school the world is your oyster.
When you graduate from college you’re just expected to make a lot
of clams. Now that Madeline Timms, Maddie to her friends—has
graduated, she’s in search of those elusive clams. That’s where
her boss, Nathaniel Rothwell Henry Scorge, III, comes in, and he’s
agreed to pay her well—like six figures well—to meet his every
demand.
He’s
your typical mean, bellowing, driven, goal-oriented, CEO, workaholic,
high-tech visionary. Unfortunately, he’s also the most sexually
charged man she’s ever met—like inside-melting attractive. Too
hot to handle but too cold to notice, he’s oblivious to the raging
passion between them—but that could just be in her own mind.
Now
he’s ordered her on a three-day business trip to Atlanta, where
she’ll miss a traditional Christmas Eve at home. Mom is not happy.
But what will be worse: disappointing her family or navigating three
days alone with her own personal sexy Mr. Scrooge.
Kissing
Mr. Scrooge
is the first in a serial romance collection of five couples focused
on a high-tech company, SC Endeavors, and its revolutionary new
dating software called DataMatch.
While
the romance in each story is stand-alone, the surrounding elements
build from one story to the next. The DataMatch Serial is my homage
to the soap operas of my youth—Days
of Our Lives,
General
Hospital,
Young
and the Restless.
The
executives at SC Endeavors believe they can come within a .02
accuracy of compatibility, and are willing to put their hearts on the
line by being the first five to undergo the matching process.
Unfortunately the process is still in the testing stage. There could
be hiccups. Actually there will be hiccups—big ones.

Rader is a part-time Twitter sage, stay-at-home mother of three, and
slave to the characters and worlds inside her head. Always creative,
she's drawn to stories with fantastical worlds and creatures. With a
little bit of magic and divine guidance, there isn't anything that
can't be accomplished with words. It's the power of words that
creates and destroys. Vanquishing evil and injustice while finding
eternal love in the process is all in a day's work. With the help of
her critique partners and master cartographer imaginary places come
to life.
