KATHRYN GRAYSON has it all—a beautiful husband, new baby, and a life most women would dream of. But after putting her career on hold for her family, Kathryn sets out to reclaim the woman she once was.
When Kathryn meets her new boss, ALEXANDER ASHER, Manhattan playboy and heir to his family’s fortune, their relationship is heated… and not in a good way. The two are at odds, playing a cat-and-mouse game that has Kathryn pouncing.
Kathryn seeks the comfort of her husband, GABRIEL MONROE, an up-and-coming attorney who seems to have less and less time for his wife as his career takes flight, leaving her dreaming about the days when their love story was a fairy tale.
After a heated argument, a box of Twinkies and a very elaborate display of white roses, Kathryn and Asher call a truce. She unravels a deeper side of him, and they develop a fierce connection that leaves Kathryn wondering what is appropriate… and what is not.
When Kathryn becomes suspicious of Gabriel’s activities, she finds herself alone and far away from home with the charismatic Asher. After a night of drama, honesty, and pure eroticism, Kathryn’s will to stay away from Asher is tempted like never before.
In a battle of self-discovery, Kathryn must choose between them. Both men are devastatingly broken by her actions—and she can only fix one of them. But when she makes her choice, will he even want her after all that’s happened?
A heart-wrenching breakup, an accident… a loss.Stretching out my right hand, I am reminded of the worst year of my life and all the dreams that faded in one awful weekend.
For six months I was numb.
And then I met a man.
An intense, complex, emotion extracting, sinful man.
If there’s one thing I notice it’s the piercing gaze he is giving me.
So piercing because of Golden Eyes.
But what my heart doesn’t know…is he here to save me or is he the one who needs saving?
Heather McCallister wants one thing: A rich husband.
When she catches her trust fund wielding boyfriend with his pants around his ankles she finds herself fighting over a taxi with a stranger she meets on the streets of Chicago.
Ryan Pierson is handsome, fun and doesn’t have a penny to his name. The two embark on a wild night of passion that has Heather questioning what it is she wants out of life.
But nothing is as perfect as it seems. A secret affair, a proposal and a surprise revelation have Heather facing the greatest dilemma . . .
and it’s downright Sinful.
OMG Nate wrote the most adorable poem!

Crystal,
Tuesday at three o’clock.
That was the day and time you walked into my life.
Long auburn hair and a heart-shaped face adorned with bright green eyes.
Porcelain skin that begged to be touched,
A mouth so full is begged to me kissed.
And, for me, a heart yearning to feel for this beautiful girl, it begged to be fixed.
You ordered a glass of wine as I watched as your eyes skimmed the taps.
There was something sexy about the girl in a demure sundress who wanted to drink a beer.
So, I gave you what you wanted instead of what your ordered.
And you gave me what I needed instead of what I thought I deserved.
Every Tuesday at three o’clock I stop and I say a prayer.
For there’s someone somewhere who made sure you walked into my bar
And fixed this broken man with the love he always wanted.
Olive Juice,
Nate
When I was little, my mom was part of the Double Day book club. She had piles and piles of books lying around the house, most of them with Fabio-esque men and a scantily clad woman set in a different century. The love of romance novels is inbred in me.
When I as 9, I wrote stories using my best friend as a muse. They were romances…but for the 9-year-old. She was the only one who read them.
When I was 14, another friend gave me a Marian Keyes novel. I fell in-love for her wit and humor with a dark side. This was my first experience with realistic fiction and I have been a Keyes-devotee ever since.
When I was 19, Nicholas Sparks forever changed my views on relationships. I learned what true love could be like…beautiful and difficult at the same time. I wanted it.
When I was 22, Jeannette Wells made me feel more emotion from an autobiographical novel than I thought possible. I wanted to be her.
When I was 30, Jamie McGuire and Colleen Hoover introduced me to the world of self-publishing. For the first time I thought: I could give this a try someday.
When I was 32, my someday came.
