Part of Series
Debutante. Heiress. Lady. Skylar Thornquist has been called them all. But when her family insisted she stand as bridesmaid at her sister’s wedding to Skye’s ex-fiancé, Skye rebelled, drowning her public humiliation in tequila and a one-night stand of carnal debauchery with Grant Sisti. To escape her family’s iron grip, Skye hides out cleaning toilets at Casa Blanca and masking her breeding and identity under a dye job, heavy makeup, and a smattering of fake tattoos while she tries to discover which label sticks to her best. Doctor. Joker. Warrior. Navy SEAL Grant “Twisted” Sisti has been them all. But since he failed to prevent the violent death of his teammate six months ago, Grant isn’t sure he can be any of those men anymore. He’s back at Casa Blanca for his best friend’s wedding, but Grant knows he’s reaching the end of his rope. A state that isn’t improved by finding the help swimming naked in his private villa’s pool. Skye never thought she'd get caught skinny dipping by the man who got her through her worst night with the best sex of her life. But this Grant is a different man than the one who lit up her world back then. And though it takes him too long to remember her, Skye is drawn as much to the wounded warrior as she was to the charming lover. Grant is fascinated by the puzzle Skye presents, the debutante who cleans toilets and speaks like a queen. She’s the first thing he’s had any interest in since his friend’s death, the first woman in a long time to see the man before the SEAL. They never expected to find each other again on Barefoot Bay, both hiding from who there were, both wondering who they should be. Until Skye’s identity is compromised and the Thornquist iron fist comes down on Skye's new life...only to discover what happens when there’s a Navy SEAL standing by her side.
Author
Kiersten Hallie Krum is the author of the prestigious RONE award finalist, WILD ON THE ROCKS, and its follow-up SEALed WTH A TWIST. She is also a past winner of the Emily Award for unpublished novelists. Kiersten graduated from Gordon College where she majored in both history and English, including a year's study at Oxford University, which means she's knows a little bit about a lot of things concerning people long dead. She also completed a minor in theater for which she performed a one-woman show. Kiersten graduated from New York University with a Master of Publishing. A member of the Romance Writers of America, the New Jersey Romance Writers, and the Long Island Romance Writers, Kiersten has been working in book publishing for more than twenty years in marketing and promotion. At other times in her career, she's worked back stage for a regional theater, managed advertorials for a commerce newspaper in the World Trade Center, and served as senior editor for a pharmaceutical advertising agency. Writer, singer, editor, traveler, tequila drinker, and cat herder, Kiersten avoids pen names since keeping her multiple personalities straight is hard enough work. As an adolescent, she cut her teeth on Woodiwiss, Lindsey, Garwood, McKnight, Devereux, Coulter, and other scions of the romance industry. She knew then, much to her mother's chagrin, that this was the world for her. Born and bred in New Jersey (and accent free), Kiersten sings as easily, and as frequently, as she breathes, drives fast with the windows down and the music up, likes to randomly switch accents for kicks and giggles, and would be happy to spend all her money traveling for the rest of her life.
