Say Yes


Kandi Steiner - 2021
    When you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect.Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I’m faced with until the sun rises.Of course, I didn’t expect him to show up.Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can’t stand. He’s got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction. When he finds out what I’m doing, he hijacks my “yes” night.And after just twelve hours with him, I’m desperate for more.But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don’t stand a chance.I convince myself that we can keep it casual.But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.I used to think when you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect.Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.If only I’d known that before I fell under Liam Benson’s spell.

Angel Baby


Leslie Kelly - 2011
    But she goes into labor at the worst possible time, in the worst possible place. Fortunately, a strong, protective stranger—Chase Paxton—comes to her aid, saving her life and the life of her daughter.Chase is a loner, and he likes it that way. He tries to avoid getting caught up in anyone else’s drama…so coming to the aid of a heavily pregnant woman, and being right there for the birth of her baby, shocks him to his core. Even more shocking is that the beautiful young mother disappears from his life as quickly as she’d entered it.Now, fate has brought Claudia back to him. And while Chase might try to resist any emotional tangles, he finds himself thoroughly ensnared by the beautiful young mother, and the adorable child he helped bring into the world. But can two people who’ve sworn off love for good ever move beyond past hurts and regrets to trust in a future together?Before award-winning romance author Leslie Kelly became known for her super-sexy contemporary novels, like the extremely popular SLOW HANDS, or for the dark romantic thrillers she writes as Leslie Parrish, she penned a few deeply emotional contemporary books. Never before published, ANGEL BABY is a tender story of two lonely people learning how to trust in love, and in the bonds of family. Though not as light-hearted, or quite as steamy as her later works, ANGEL BABY will still appeal to readers looking for that unique Leslie Kelly voice.
