Some Details
Vibe
Think men in suits, women in high-heels, with an upscale New York City lifestyle with a splash of old-school romance novel vibes.
Heat Level
This is a steamy romance novel with explicit sex scenes and spicy language.
POV
This book is written in alternating third person POV.
Tone
Sexy, angsty, with plenty of push-pull and slow burn.
Author Note
This book did not follow any of the rules. For starters, I meant to write it in first person like the first two in the 21 Wall Street Series, and only after typing The End, did I realize I’d written it in third person. It insisted on staying that way.
There are plot twists I didn’t plan, sexy chess, sex on a boat…
Also, Kennedy is exactly the type of hero I love so much to write. Brooding, hard-to-read, protective, and intense.
Pardon my swoon.

A Little Excerpt
He stopped her words, not with a retort or even the usual scowl but by reaching out and setting his fingers against her mouth.
They both froze, and her eyes flew to his. It wasn’t a caress, but neither was it a playful shut-up kind of gesture. It was somewhere in between, his three middle fingers resting lightly over her mouth, his pinkie finger brushing against her jaw, softly, as if by accident.
He met her eyes for only a second before his gaze dropped to his fingers. He frowned slightly, as though puzzled to find himself touching her. But he couldn’t be half as puzzled as she was.
Or as electrified.
Slowly, Kennedy let his hand drop, his fist clenching hard and fast, so quickly she thought she’d imagined it.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
My website is my chance to present my work my way.
