My rules for being a Manhattan billionaire's fake girlfriend... No kissing. No fooling around. No falling in love. What can possibly go wrong? Note to self: When your boyfriend dumps you on your thirtieth birthday, it's probably not the smartest idea to drink so much that you wake up in the same bed as the mysterious hottie wearing the gorgeous suit who you noticed sitting across the bar. The only silver lining in my obvious lack of judgment is the promise of never seeing Mr. Suit again, not in a city the size of New York. Or so I thought, until a story I'm working on about the country's most sought-after and elusive escort lands me in the same café as Mr. Suit. So I do what any self-respecting woman of my age would do in my shoes... Try to ignore him. But he won't let me. Instead he makes a proposition that leaves me questioning whether I need to have my ears checked. Be his fake girlfriend for a summer of wealth and excess in the Hamptons. In return, he'll help me win back my boyfriend's heart. Juvenile? You bet. Effective? Could be. Bad idea? Most likely. But what do I have to lose? Apparently, a lot more than I originally bargained for. Let the games begin... Dating Games is a standalone modern retelling of Cinderella meeting her billionaire Prince Charming.

In her 57th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel brilliantly chronicles the roller-coaster ride of dating the second time around—and tells a captivating story of the surprises one woman encounters when she’s thrust into the terrifying, exhilarating world of the Dating Game. Paris Armstrong never saw it coming. With two grown children and a lovely home in Connecticut, Paris was happy with her marriage, her family, her life. So when her husband of twenty-four years said they needed to talk, Paris couldn’ t imagine what he was about to say. “I want a divorce,” Peter tells her. Just like that, the husband she adored had dumped her for a younger woman. And just like that, Peter and his thirty-one-year-old lover had made their plans for their future, leaving Paris to pick up the pieces of a shattered life. Within days, Peter was gone. And Paris was left to figure out how she intended to get through the next day, let alone the rest of her life. The task could not have been more painful. First came the tears. Then the excruciating attempts by well-meaning friends to “fix her up” with men who paled in comparison to Peter. Worse yet, she still loved him. Finally, Paris realized she was in a fight for her very survival. Drastic measures were called for. Even her shrink agreed. It was time to move—as far away as possible, just after Peter remarried. Paris had never felt, or been, more alone. Saying good-bye to the world she knew and loved, Paris heads west, to San Francisco, and discovers being single in a world full of men who were too young, too old, too married, or too good to be true. For Paris, the list seemed endless...the charming commitment-phobe...the drunken Neanderthal...the young Frenchman—so adorably sexy she almost forgot about his age, and did, for a while. With her dating track record veering between disappointing and disastrous, and her daughter now engaged to a man Paris’s age, Paris finally comes to the conclusion that romance is not in her future. That’s when her small circle of offbeat, loving friends becomes more important than ever before. And a decision Paris makes only for herself changes her life once more. The secret, she discovers finally, is in finding the gifts in life’s unexpected twists and turns, and turning despair into freedom and loss into joy. In a poignant, wickedly funny novel about getting dumped and getting over it, about tackling life with both courage and laughter, Danielle Steel explores what it means to start over, whether you wanted to or not, and finding something better than you had before.
The Dating Game Uncensored chronicles dating in a free society. In other words, if you are raised in a society where marriages are strictly prearranged as the norm, then there's really no need to read a book on dating. The goals are to provide an interactive dating guide for all ages--for parents/guardians/adults to be aware of who their kids interact with and where and how and persuade everyone to do their own research and background checks (as deemed necessary). The objectives are to provide an easy-to-read guide for readers looking to acquire more knowledge on dating, to identify and analyze personality traits and characteristics, to acquire dating skills, to develop effective and safe dating strategies, to identify red flags and avoid dangerous situations, to learn from (or share) others' experiences by patronizing the following question-answer email: [email protected], and how to find a date: socialize! The methodology for this book involved gathering information from informal and unstructured interviews with several individuals from different backgrounds and careers, namely school teachers, pediatricians, single people, married people, and divorcees, to name a few. Considerable internet research was done also. Perspectives are based on views and insights from family background, upbringing, early childhood education and socialization, social and neighborhood environment, human psychology, personal experiences, education, income, and social class and status. Over thirty type of daters are listed by definition, ranging from smart daters, to dumb, to serial killers, to haters, and to one-night standers. Pick your poison (if you rush in blindly). Many scenarios are discussed: dating during a pandemic, youth dating, dating for seniors, the power of love, training your children (bending the tree while it's young), dating in the city where everyone can see you vs. dating in a remote rural area, online dating vs. in-person, and blind dating vs. wing dating. There are lots more. Some hot-button issues are examined too. For example, at what age is it okay to start dating? Should dating be part of the school's curriculum? Should families teach their kids how to date? What are the two-to-five-year rule vs. the three-to-six-month rule? Do you believe in the zodiac (compatibility) signs? How do you approach someone for a date? Do pickup lines work? There is no "one size fits all approach." Hint: ask open-ended questions that can't yield simple yes or no answers. Pique someone's interest by trying to find out what they are interested in. The list goes on and on. Be my guest. Practice safe dating. How to look for red flags and which ones to look for are of paramount importance. There can be lots on intrigue and drama in dating. We live in a complex and diverse world that has dangerous people. Bad people. This book identifies numerous personality traits and types. Ask your romantic interest or date about their (life's) timeline. For instance, do "missing" years in their life story mean they might have been incarcerated? You just never know. Daters, beware! Take time to read this book. There's lots more. Did I mention a part 2? Stay tuned.
