I'm reading How Sweet It Is by Dylan Newton.

From page 36:

"Oh. Uh, hi?" Drake Matthews winced as his introduction came out as a question.  He reached out and shook the small grass-flecked hand of the event planner--Kate Sweet, she'd said her name was--as he pinned a smile on his face.  "I mean, welcome, Ms. Sweet."

She beamed at him, and even with her wet hair and smudged makeup, Drake felt his mouth go dry.  She was stunning.

"Call me Kate.  I know you were expecting Imani Lewis, but her flight was delayed," Kate said and he tried to act normal as he watched her tuck a damp auburn lock behind her ear before she continued speaking.  "So, for now, you've got me.  I'm really excited about y our launch and can't wait to show you my ideas."
