I’ve always loved Thanksgiving. Seems to me we need more
than one day a year set aside to point out how fortunate we are for the things
we have and the opportunities to make our dreams come true. For one of the
Goodman brothers, knowing what he wants—and what he needs, more importantly—is what
Only a Good Man Will Do is all about.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Blurb:
Seriously
ambitious man seeks woman to encourage his goals, support his (hopeful)
position as Headmaster of Westover Academy, and be purer than Caesar's wife. Good
luck with that!
Daniel
Goodman is a man on a mission. He aims to become headmaster of Westover
Academy. For that he needs a particular, special woman to help him set high
standards. Into his cut and dried life of moral and upright behavior, comes Eve
Star, formerly one of Europe's foremost exotic dancers. Her life is anything
but cut and dried, black and white. Daniel is drawn to her like a kid to
chocolate. Nothing good can come of this attraction. Or can it? He is after
all, a good man.

Excerpt:
“Daniel, am I
talking to myself, here?”
“Oh, no, I’m…” He chuckled an amused admission. “Tell
me what you said again.”
He could almost hear Eve smile. “I said, you called at
four-thirty on Saturday and Sunday, so I took a wild leap that you would today,
too.”
“Ah.” Smiling to the empty room, he squirmed to get
into a more comfortable position. “A woman of logic.”
“Absolutely. You don’t want to play me in chess. I
think five or six moves ahead.”
“I’ll remember that. There’s nothing worse than seeing
a guy cry when he’s been beaten at chess by a girl. Now tell me why you’re
upstairs. I know you don’t have a lot of help this time of day.”
“I’m paying Jed extra to come in a bit early.” Her
voice was low, as though she didn’t really want to tell him. The words struck
his heart.
“You don’t have money to be paying Jed extra, Eve.
I’ll start calling later, after dinner and before I grade papers.”
“No, don’t. It’s quiet this time of day and I want
these few minutes to myself. Jed doesn’t mind, and he can use a few extra
bucks.”
“Well, okay.”
“Besides, you won’t be calling forever. Soon you’ll be
head of the school and won’t have free time for the likes of me.”
Daniel hadn’t promised her on Friday that he’d call.
He’d simply felt the desire and acted on it. Then, by unspoken agreement, they
hadn’t mentioned what might happen next in their relationship. They’d spent
time sharing that day in their respective worlds.
Today, he’d discovered the desire to talk to Eve
wasn’t an “at loose ends” feeling that sometimes came over him on weekends.
After his dorm assistant had arrived, Daniel had locked his doors, put his
books and papers away, and picked up the phone. Only after they’d been well
into the fantasy did he remember he hadn’t even removed his gown and jacket
before pressing her number. He’d wanted to hear her, find out what her day had
been like and communicate his own. He felt seventeen again, with an infatuation
about to drive him crazy. Except men his age didn’t have infatuations. They had
obsessions.
“Hey,” Eve charged, “I didn’t mean that the way it
sounded, like I was hunting for compliments or reassurances. I was simply
stating a fact, the way we both know it to be. I want this to be short term as
much as you do, so don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried.”
But he was. How long did obsessions last, anyway?
Daniel had never allowed himself to be distracted by a woman or anything that
might waylay his goals.
Until now.
Reviews:
“ONLY A GOOD MAN WILL DO (The Good Man Series Book 1)
by Dee S. Knight is a contemporary romance by a new to me author that had me
falling for the hero and heroine, fanning myself during the well written sex
scenes and looking forward to the other brothers’ stories.” 5 stars
“Emotions run sky-high in the first book of The Good
Man series, where a very proper man meets a woman who hides many secrets about
her past. I have always enjoyed stories written by the talented Dee S. Knight,
as she has a knack for making her characters particularly believable while they
face some difficult challenges in their lives. There are definitely some trying
moments in this story, where a decision could lead to a blissful future or
years of wondering about the what-ifs. The convincing developments all through
ONLY A GOOD MAN WILL DO convinced me that the characters really must exist.” 5
Stars
“I was looking for a sweet read with some steamy
scenes. This delivered nicely. I loved the young boy characters, especially Mr.
Torrington, who tugged at my heart and made me smile. The romance was also fun
to watch, and you just knew it was going to all work out, even though the
couple didn't until the very end. The writing was excellent with great
evocation. Now I'm going to have to pick up the next book and see what happens
to one of the other triplets, Jonah.” 5 stars
A little about me:
A
few years ago, Dee S. Knight began writing, making getting up in the morning
fun. During the day, her characters killed people, fell in love, became drunk
with power, or sober with responsibility. And they had sex, lots of sex. After a while, Dee split her
personality into thirds. She writes as Anne Krist for sweeter romances, and
Jenna Stewart for ménage and shifter stories. All three of her personas are
found on the Nomad Authors website. And all three offer some of the best romance
you can find! Also, once a month, look for Dee’s Charity Sunday blog posts,
