Closing Costs - A Sultry, Suspenseful Midlife Romance by Janie Steele

Behind every door is a secret. Behind every perfect life is a cost.

Ana has built her career on discretion. As a real estate agent for the wealthy, she knows how to present perfection: flawless homes, polished lives, and promises of happily ever after. But behind the glossy exteriors are secrets no one talks about-affairs, betrayals, broken marriages, and dreams that no longer fit. Ana has kept her distance, until one dangerously magnetic client steps into her life and shatters her carefully guarded control.

What begins as a professional connection transforms into something far darker, more seductive, and impossible to resist. Desire pulls her deeper into a web of secrecy, and soon, Ana isn't the only one caught. Her closest friends-women who have stood beside her through decades of love and loss-are facing reckonings of their own. One struggles with the fallout of betrayal. Another hides a desire she can no longer suppress. Each woman is forced to confront truths about themselves, their marriages, and the lies they've been living.

What You'll Discover Inside

Closing Costs is more than a romance-it is a story of reinvention, forbidden attraction, and the haunting cost of second chances. As Ana's world unravels, she must decide: will she cling to the safe life she built, or risk it all for a love that could destroy her?

Perfect for Readers Who Crave

Readers who devour emotional, sensual women's fiction-from the romantic drama of Robyn Carr to the dark temptation of Sylvia Day-will find themselves seduced by the emotional weight, sharp tension, and unapologetic female desire in Closing Costs.

With richly drawn characters, sultry encounters, and the pulse of romantic suspense, this novel asks the question: How much are you willing to pay for the life you want most?
