    About this series

    From award-winning and international best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the fourth book in a series of steamy contemporary romance novels.


    Note: Though this is the fourth book in the series, it can be read as a standalone.


    A forbidden affair that's practically irresistible...


    Emily Hoyt is often referred to as a "free spirit," but she knows that's just a nice way to say "flake." She doesn't normally let it bother her, but when her perfect big brother unexpectedly announces he's gotten married, Emily once again feels the pressure to be more than the meandering musician she is.


    Alessandro Giordano is the lying, selfish bastard Emily had pegged as bad news. But when they meet at the engagement-turned-wedding celebration, they're both looking to escape, and the instant chemistry they have pushes them together. Is their attraction just a diversion, or could it really be more?

      "If you love contemporary romance with a lot of intrigue, steam and twists and turns, then don't miss out on this book!" -Kitri, reader From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the second book in a series of steamy contemporary romantic suspense novels. The time has come to decide: it's all or nothing… Fresh off a series of life-changing events, real estate mogul Serafina Evans has decided to pursue the man she loves – the stubborn, intelligent, charming, and devastatingly handsome Alessandro Giordano. And while Alessandro is finally free of the ties that bound him, that revelation was followed by his insistence that he must return to his home country of Italy. So, Sera must track him down and find out why he left … and if there's any hope left for their love.  But as much as her life has changed lately, nothing can prepare Sera for the challenges and lessons in love, loss, and tragedy that are yet to come. This will include her biggest lesson yet: how to persevere through it all and mend a repeatedly shattered heart to do the impossible – give all of herself to someone. But is it something she's ready for? Note: Books One through Three in this series are meant to be listened to in order.
