Southern Gentleman

Written by Jessica Peterson

Narrated by Joe Arden and Emma Wilder

**I know two things when I meet my new boss, Greyson Parker Montgomery III. One, he’s an egomaniac. And two, we’re going to get naked. Something I didn’t know? That I’d end up pregnant.** No one is more surprised by our off-the-charts chemistry than me. I’m a free spirit with a passion for design and a taste for the bohemian. Greyson is a cocky venture capitalist who’s as pretentious as his sharply cut power suits. He owns half of Charleston, and has the other half at his beck and call. But the only place he owns me is in bed...or in the backseat of his car, boneless and begging for mercy. We argue over contracts and costs all day long. Behind closed doors, however, we engage in a different kind of business. The kind that has me surrendering to his unique brand of dominance. Our no-strings attached arrangement suits me just fine. Until I wake up one morning with what I think is a wicked hangover. Only it’s not a hangover. I thought Greyson was a typical “greed is good” grump. But when he demands to be involved in the life we accidentally created, I start to see a different side of him. One that’s more gentleman than jerk. Am I crazy to think we could be a family together? Or is making me fall for him just another one of his power plays? **SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN is a STANDALONE, full length, accidental pregnancy/enemies-to-lovers romance. The books in the Charleston Heat series are interconnected standalone romances, and can be read in any order. SOUTHERN CHARMER: Eli and Olivia's story SOUTHERN PLAYER: Luke and Gracie's story SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN: Greyson and Julia's story SOUTHERN HEARTBREAKER: Ford and Eva's story**

"Jessica Peterson writes romance with heat, humor, and heart. Heroes with hot accents are her specialty. When she’s not writing, she can be found bellying up to a bar in the south’s best restaurants with her husband Ben, reading books with her adorable daughters Gracie and Madeline, or snuggling up with her 70-pound lap dog, Martha. A Carolina girl at heart, she fantasizes about splitting her time between Charleston and Asheville, but currently lives in Charlotte, NC."

Reviews for Southern Gentleman

[Risa Iseri · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It irritates me the way the female species feels like they're entitled to just rid themselves of a baby because they're not ready or they don't really want it, or the man angered them so serves them right. sex equals procreation. If you're not ready for the responsibility of a child, you should keep your legs closed until you are ready because there is always that chance and I don't think it's fair that a human being should have to sacrifice their life to fix a persons mistakes or clear their regrets or serve as their revenge. It's wrong, and at the end of the day, I just think it's heartless. Sorry, not sorry. The book was great, but I just hated this part of the book. You just ruined it for me. I know that we women are smart enough to know how this happens. You can't say I don't know how this happens when sex equals procreation. You know how this happened.
