Lauren Layne’s Sex, Love & Stiletto series simmers to
a boil as two high-powered magazine writers find love amid a
war of words.
As a leading columnist for Stiletto, Grace Brighton
has built a career warning women about rotten, cheating
liars. She just never suspected her fiancé would be one of
them. After Grace takes a heart-mending hiatus, her first
assignment is to go on a couple of dates with a counterpart
from the men’s magazine Oxford and report her
impressions. Grace 1.0 may have been instantly smitten with
the gorgeous correspondent, but Grace 2.0 has sworn off
relationships for six months, and she’s not falling for his
outstanding bod and trophy-winning kisses . . . or is she?
Jake Malone wants to get back to the fly-by-night,
who-knows-what’s-next guy he used to be, and he knows
exactly how to do it. Oxford is adding a travel
section, and Jake—with no wife and no kids and a willingness
to live anywhere, eat anything, do everything—is perfect for
the job . . . except that his playboy reputation makes his
new editor nervous. To get the gig, he must agree to a
fluffy joint article with Stiletto. But after just
one date with snooty, sumptuous, sensational Grace Brighton,
Jake starts taking this assignment a whole lot more
seriously.
