Nolan Black is gorgeous, bold and unapologetic in his desire for me. When I fall into his lap in Las Vegas, our connection is instant. Once I'm back in Manhattan we can't resist the attraction. The draw is too intense and the desire is addictive. I want him in ways I promised myself I wouldn't. He needs me in ways he didn't know existed. The pull is strong enough to erase the doubt and to drown out all the questions. Until the secrets we've buried in our pasts collide in a way no one could have predicted.

I saw my boss naked. Actually, most of the women who work at Matiz Cosmetics have. It's understandable since the pictures went viral almost immediately after being posted online. Ryker Moore and his social media star girlfriend were photographed on a private beach in the Caribbean. No swimsuits, no hats, and no bad camera angles. Ryker's back in New York City and his relationship is over. The fact that he's single shouldn't matter to me, but it does. It's not because I've secretly wanted him since I landed this job. It has absolutely nothing to do with that one kiss we shared under the mistletoe at the holiday party last year. It matters because of the way he looks at me when he doesn’t think I'm paying attention. That melts my heart but I know enough about Ryker to realize he's trouble. He's the last thing I need, but that has nothing to do with what I want, does it? Author's Note: Although a few characters from my past books make appearances in MELT, it's not necessary to read any of my other books to enjoy MELT.

Troublemaker, a new sexy friends to lovers standalone novel, from New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Deborah Bladon. Adley York is everything I want in a best friend. She’s honest, kind and speaks her mind. The fact that she doesn’t care that I’m hot as hell and rich as sin makes her the perfect person to hang out with. I’m the first to admit my mind wanders to other places when I’m with her. Who can blame me? It’s not just the fact that Adley is gorgeous. She’s also smart as a whip and the most fearless person I’ve ever known. She’s completely off limits though. When I challenge her to a game of Truth or Dare, I vow to myself to keep it clean. That crashes and burns the instant she asks me about my first time. We cross a line we swore we never would, but I want even more. She says I’m trouble. She’s right. I didn’t get where I am in life by following every damn rule. I go after what I want, and the beautiful blonde who claims she still wants to be just friends is the only woman I think about. I dare Adley to not fall in love with me because the truth is that I’m falling in love with her. Author’s Troublemaker is a complete standalone. You don’t have to read any of my previous books to enjoy this swoon-worthy, heartfelt romance!
