Lauren Ash may be wealthy and her best friend may be a
sexually-free party girl but Lauren takes her personal and
professional life seriously. She works for Ash Builders and
prefers to reserve her bedroom activities for a committed
relationship. It doesn't mean she doesn't think about her
desires. She keeps her sexual fantasies confined to a
nondescript red diary she keeps tuck away in her office
where no one will notice it. That is, no one until Nick
Armstrong wanders in.
Nick, owner of Horizon Painters, took the job painting the
exterior of Lauren's house as an excuse to spy on her. He
has resented the Ash family since Henry Ash stole the
company he started with Nick's father. Nick wants a peak
into the life that should have been his so when he finds
Lauren's hide-a-key he can't resist the opportunity to take
a look around. What he doesn't expect is to stumble on
Lauren's diary and become intrigued by her and her
fantasies. As the attraction between them intensifies will
past mistakes come between them?
On the surface, THE RED DIARY is a fun, sexy read about
finding a guy who is more than happy to fulfill your
fantasies. But at the core, it's an emotional story about
acceptance, forgiveness, and trusting love. Nick is handsome
and hot but he's also hurting, needing to let go of the past
and his father's mistakes. He still believes in love,
though, as evidenced by his strong love for his sister and
the brother they care for. He's the prefect man to help
Lauren break through her reserve. There is a sweet subplot
involving Nick's brother and his attraction to a florist who
works at the grocery story. THE RED DIARY is an excellent
choice for fans of contemporary romance.
Sun, sand, and one woman's private fantasies recorded in a
seductive red book . . .
Prim and proper Lauren Ash has a secret side no one else
sees: she records her sexual fantasies, in intimate detail,
in a very personal book meant for her eyes only.
When hired hand Nick Armstrong finds the red diary, he's
shocked . . . and aroused. Never before has he come across
anything so private—or so sensual. And, given the way the
Ash family has hurt his, he soon begins to see this as a
potent weapon for righting an old wrong. Wouldn't it serve
the haughty Lauren right if he used her own fantasies to
seduce her, make her fall in love, and then break her heart?
But there's much more to Lauren than Nick expects, and
before he quite realizes it, he's opening himself—and his
heart—to her. Can Nick let go of the past and surrender to
Lauren, body and soul?
