{"product_id":"book-hfjv","title":"Mister Manhattan","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy Thursday afternoon meeting was a no-show. Imagine my surprise when a drenched, flustered brunette slipped into the booth across from me, acting like she was supposed to be there. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she slipped back out with a snappy good-bye, I never thought I'd see her again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil I walked into my Friday morning meeting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt first, I didn't recognize her - she was dry this time. But from the look on her face, she recognized me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen she gave the worst pitch I've ever sat through, I thought my boss, and mentor, was going to show her the door - except he accepts the proposal and tells me we have to work together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI didn't anticipate I would like her, let alone be interested in her. Sure, she was hot and sassy. But something about her rubbed me the wrong way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd yet I couldn't stop thinking about her. So, when she leaves the room and her phone chimes with a new text, I knew I wasn't supposed to look. I also knew I wasn't supposed to cancel her date for later that evening. And I definitely knew I wasn't supposed to delete the entire exchange, so she had no idea what I'd done. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut I did. And then I showed up at the restaurant, pretending like this was all a big coincidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the date is over, I want more. I need more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe start pretend-dating because she needs practice, and I tell myself, New York's most eligible billionaire bachelor, that this is just a bit of fun. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat could possibly go wrong?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audible","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":67915080925488,"sku":"ZEhfjv","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49354210705712,"sku":"10hfjv","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hfjv-Square-cover.webp?v=1790852583","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hfjv","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
