Description
Book Synopsis
The first of two steamy and entertaining romance novels, published under the beloved and distinguished author's real name for the first time You never know what's going on behind someone's groove. New York City, April 2002: Geneva, Crystal, Noah, and Chevy, a close friend group, are all mid-thirty, flirty--and ready to embrace the heat of the summer. But behind closed doors, each of them has struggles of their own: Geneva keeps accidentally falling for the charms of her good-for-nothing ex-husband; Crystal is a high-flying executive with a picture-perfect life and a boyfriend who might just be too good to be true; Noah is attempting to keep the spark alive between him and his European boyfriend, but the flames of temptation keep catching fire in the most unexpected of places; and then there's Chevy, who couldn't care less about love and only wants a life of champagne dinners and designer bags, no matter the cost. But as the city heats up and tensions keep bubbling under the surface, Chevy gets entangled with a hot and mysterious stranger. The group must come together to save their friend before it's too late--and before secrets break their forever friendship.About the Author
