"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."
"The second of two steamy and entertaining romance novels, published under the beloved and distinguished author's real name for the first time
Three years have passed since four friends-Geneva, Chevy, Crystal, and Noah-had a steamy summer of secrets and sleeping around. As another summer is fast approaching, they've sworn off any extracurricular activities, but as the temperature rises in the city, the friends find themselves in hot water again.
Geneva is busy taking care of her daughter and trying not to get too involved with her son's young business manager. Chevy gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assist a diva who might want more than what's in the employment contract. Crystal has promised to save herself for Mr. Right (instead of jumping into bed with another Mr. Right Now), but her commitment is tested when an old acquaintance reenters her life. And while Noah is getting very cozy with his new neighbors in London, he's still everyone's favorite (and only) confidant who can't stop himself from meddling in other people's business.
But secrets don't stay secrets for long among these friends, and with sexual tensions high on both side of the pond, everyone is sure to catch the fever. . . ."
"Kai: How long does someone have to be out of your life before your every waking thought doesn't revolve around them? Olivia Harding bulldozed her way into my life at twelve years old. She broke my heart at nineteen and I haven't seen her once in the thirteen years since. She chose her career over me. And now, because life is a cruel and coldhearted bitch, I'm praying that she gives me a chance to help her save it. The smart thing to do would be to keep my distance, to keep it strictly professional. But I've never been smart when it comes to her.
Olivia: Soccer is all I ever wanted in life. And then I met Kai Morris. He turned my life upside down in the best way possible. He was there when those that I needed weren't and how did I repay him? I broke his heart. He should hate me after what I did and he definitely shouldn't be willing to help me get my career back on track. Now, for the next year I'll have to feel his touch, smell his intoxicating scent, and look into his devastatingly beautiful eyes. He makes me want things I haven't thought about in so long. But I can't have him. There's too much at risk. Too much truth I've tried to protect him from all these years. When the truth comes out, will he be able to forgive me? Because I don't think I'm strong enough to walk away from him a second time.

"At twenty-six, Princeton grad Michael Wang is trapped. Stifled under the bamboo ceiling at General Motors, he's working quietly on a breakthrough in self-driving car technology that he hopes will catapult him out of obscurity. Disaffected and largely friendless in San Francisco, he's dogged by resentment towards the Ivy Leaguers who never accepted him and his colleagues who see him as passive and faceless.
But all that changes when one night, on a freelance coding platform, he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Vivian. She's been admiring Michael's work from afar and represents a rival Beijing tech company that's eager to poach him, liberate his ideas from the stagnant confines of GM, and help him find success. For Michael, it's no choice at all. But as soon as Michael arrives in Beijing, Vivian vanishes. When the true nature of his new position is made clear, Michael finds himself enmeshed in a dangerous web of industrial espionage and counterintelligence. Caught between two countries that view him as a pawn, where do his loyalties lie?
