About this ebook
Plus-size southern belle Tallulah foregoes college to take care of her sick grandmother.
With dwindling finances and 90 pounds of excess weight, she's not motivated to do anything except read magazines and pray that she meets her "Prince Charming."
She's sick of scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to dating, and if she goes out with one more sleazeball, she's going to give up men forever.
When a chance meeting comes her way in the form of sexy billionaire Alexander Carlyle, the big-hearted heir to the iconoclastic Carlyle dynasty, she doesn't know what hit her.
He offers her a "business deal," that will pull her out of her financial hole so that she and her grandmother can live like queens.
Could this "business deal" be the golden opportunity of a lifetime for BBW Tallulah, or is Alexander simply dying to get his hands on her delectable curves for a mind-blowing one night stand?

BBW Romance - J.L. Ryan
Chapter 1: Alexander Sweeps Into My Life
Tallulah! Less dreaming, more working!
my beloved Grammie Marigold cries out from the kitchen.
It was time to help with lunch.
Coming Grammie!
I call back, reluctantly closing my Vogue magazine.
There you are, child. Bless your heart, you look a mess!
Grammie chuckles, looking me up and down.
Ok, so I look a little messy right now. Faded old skinny jeans, tank top, and my hair up in a messy bun. No make-up. Grammie likes to think a Southern lady should always be well turned out.
I grin at Grammie, Oh Grammie, I'm just at home! It's only the two of us here. Why would I need to dress up?
Grammie frowns at me, Child, you should always look your best, you never know when someone special might drop by. And a lady is always well groomed.
I groan with faux desperation, Grammie, no one ever comes to visit us. We haven't had a visitor since I left college to take care of you. Unless you count the nurse and the one time Doctor Peters came over. Doctor Peters is about forty years too old to be a potential boyfriend.
Grammie smiles at me sadly and draws me in for a hug, depositing a special Grammie kiss on my forehead,
Tallulah, I know it's been hard for you, and I feel a heart load of guilt over you having to put your dreams aside to care for me. I don't want to see you let go of yourself or your dreams, things are just on hold, not over. Taking care of your outside shows you haven't given up on the inside,
Grammie says sadly.
I lean into the hug, enjoying that special Grammie scent that reminds me of knitting and cookies.
Thank you, Grammie. I haven't given up. I still have my dreams, and I know I'll return to college. One day, I'll run my own non-profit and save the world.
I smile to show I understand this career goal is a little naïve...although secretly, I do believe I can make a difference.
Grammie grabs me by the shoulders and looks at my firmly. Now young lady, believe in yourself. I KNOW you will make a difference. Your Daddy felt the same way, and he would be so proud of you.
I fall silent at the mention of Daddy. My father died when I was eight. He was a Delta Force soldier killed in action. The military had been his way of making a difference. With my mom passing away from an illness not long after I was born, it had just been Grammie Marigold and me for a long time.
I shake my head to clear old thoughts of Daddy.
Grammie, one day I'll change the world and I'll make Hunter, South Carolina famous for having produced me!
I laugh and give Grammie a little twirl around the kitchen.
I don't doubt it,
I think I hear Grammie murmur as I set out making our soup and sandwiches.
————————————————-
And then your Grandfather said, 'Marigold, I need a wife, and you'll do!'
Grammie chuckles, as we eat our lunch.
I laugh in return. I love hearing stories of my grandparents romance. I pretend to be fine waiting for the right man, but secretly I long to meet the man of my dreams.
At my age, Grammie was married with two babies. Many of my friends from high school are married, and those who aren't, are in college.
The doorbell interrupts these depressing thoughts.
Now there you go Tully,
exclaims Grammie, visitors!
I get up from my chair and head to the front door, probably just Mormon's Grammie, they're very dedicated and just won't give up on this die-hard Baptist neighborhood!
