From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a steamy romance that follows Kennedy as she falls for Noah . . . even though she shouldn''t. When I first met him I resisted. Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass. That was a lie. It never faded. And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard. There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us. Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword. Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love -- the big, intense, never-been-like-this-before love -- landed me in therapy. Now I''m heading to college, and it''s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he''s still in my life? Because the one man I''ve always wanted, and also the only guy I absolutely can''t haveâEuroÝ And he wants me just as fiercely. Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life? Reviews: "21 Stolen Kisses captured my heart from the first page and didn''t let go. It made my heart ache, leap from joy, and ultimately root for a love that''s forbidden yet unstoppable." - NYT Bestselling Author Claire Contreras "21 Stolen Kisses was a truly beautiful and genuine love story. This is romantic as it gets, people. Lauren Blakely brought it, and she brought it hard. Nothing will make you believe in true love more than this story right here." - Shayna Renee''s Spicy Reads.

I didn''t know who the smoldering man in the expensive suit was that first night. Only that he was commanding. Intense. And exactly what I needed to forget my heartbreak. But there''s no forgetting him the next day when Jack Sullivan walks into my office. Philanthropic billionaire, brilliant businessman, my brand-new client¿ And off-limits in every possible way. We should have walked away. Instead, we made a new arrangement. Thirty nights. No promises. Just stolen moments in penthouses, in Paris hotel rooms, on Manhattan balconies. But the deeper we go, the harder it is to pretend this is just physical. Because when Jack starts to share the things he loves with me-the symphony, books, late nights exploring the city-he''s impossible to resist. And the more nights we spend tangled in pleasure, the more he owns my once-guarded heart. Soon, I start to believe in something more. But Jack doesn''t do love. His past still owns too much of him. And no matter how deep we fall, some risks feel too impossible to take. Unless I can convince him that what we have is worth breaking every rule.

A new adult story of Love. Sex. Addiction. Manipulation. Blackmail. And Power... Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it''s the thing that makes life worth living.

I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I''m being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don''t regret.

I say life would be a lot fairer if I wasn''t so wildly attracted to the man I''m spending all my days with, who''s decidedly off-limits.

He''s also the toughest music journalist out there, and he''s interviewing me for an in-depth article. The trouble is, I want to get in-depth with him, and the more time we spend together, the more tempted we both are to cross lines that shouldn''t be crossed.
