I am working on the blurbs for a steamy NA romance trilogy. They're getting there, but they're not perfect yet.
(Note: no warnings about how romance readers hate cheating please. I am *very* aware of this. It's what's in the book and it is what it is).
Thanks in advance!
Book 1
Alyssa never thought she'd cheat.
She has no time for the kind of passion that inspires such a tryst. Her priorities are clear-get healthy and get back to her acting career-and that means staying with her workaholic boyfriend, Ryan. He may not be the most attentive guy around, but she needs someone to keep her from falling down the rabbit hole of bulimia.
Enter Luke.
He's not the kind of guy who gives up on what he wants, and he wants Alyssa. He sees something in her, a loneliness he wants to take away. He knows she's with someone else, and he knows she should be off limits. But there's no way in hell he can resist someone who calls him on his bullshit and blushes at the mere brush of his fingertips.
It starts off as flirting. Friendship even. Until it's more. His touch is electric. Together, they're white-hot. There's no turning back, even if this might destroy both their lives.
Book Two
Falling in love was the easy part.
Luke is over the moon. It's been three months with Alyssa, and every day is better than the last. She fills his life with color and warmth. And when they're together, it's like he could float. It's a tough time for her-her life is still turned upside down-but he's determined to help her through it. To make her realize this should be forever.
Things are almost perfect when a phone call rips through their lives. There's someone else who needs Luke. His ex-girlfriend.
This is the worst possible time. Alyssa's show is about to premiere. She's buried in stress. Closing off. Shutting down. Ready to lock him out forever.
But this is a debt he has to pay. Even if it puts everything at risk.
Book Three
Love is supposed to conquer anything.
Life for Alyssa and Luke is as good as it gets. Great jobs. Beautiful house. Near perfect relationship. It's been a year, an amazing year.
But something is missing. There's space between them, even when they're three inches apart. They're busy. Stressed. Tired. Things should get better soon.
Then Alyssa is offered the role of a lifetime. The lead in a Broadway play. In New York City. Three thousand miles away.
It means six months apart. Six months alone. Six months to let the space grow until it rips them apart.
This could be the step that cements their relationship or the thing that destroys it.
