Ruby Red

Sometimes you find love only after you lose everything else.

One night stands only need apply.

Ali Stinson is having a bad day. Her afternoon tryst has been interrupted (before they got to the good part) to discover her investment manager has run away with all her money. Now she has to keep up appearances with her high society friends, find a dress for an upcoming charity event and not fall in love with Sam, the cute bartender, who insists on helping her. Thing is she's 90% sure she doesn't want help. Adulting is hard.

Looking for work, not love.

Sam Freemont is having a strange day. He was in the middle of the best kiss of his life when his boss walked in and halted the fun. Not helping with the low profile he's trying to maintain. Now he can't get Ali off his mind or out of his dreams. Good thing she's a regular at the swanky resort he just started working at. Gives him time to find a way back to her lips. Or better yet, into her heart.

Ruby Red is an opposites attract, riches-to-rags, fake dating, contemporary romance book written in alternating point of view and contains steamy open-door scenes, a feisty heroine freshly out of a disastrous marriage, a cinnamon roll hero who is hiding a secret, side character's you wish you were friends with, and a twist you won't see coming. Packed with emotions and page turning drama, this HFN has no love triangles, no cheating, and no cliffhangers.
