Hard Sell

21 Wall Street, Book Two

  • Steamy, with explicit sex scenes. Readers 18+

  • An Amazon Best Book of the Month

  • A Kindle Unlimited book

A Wall Street broker at the top of his game, Matt’s playboy lifestyle lands him in hot water with the boss—and into the arms of the one woman who can save his reputation.

Author Note: This book was so fun to write! When I started it, I thought for sure that Matt and Sabrina were die-hard enemies, and nobody was more surprised than me when I started writing and found that they actually really care about each other beneath the bickering. The book ended up so much “richer” as a result.

  • Twenty-eight and filthy rich, Matt Cannon is the youngest broker on Wall Street. He may be a “boy wonder,” but he’s every inch a man. Ask any woman—any night. But when Matt’s latest fling makes scandalous headlines, his clients get anxious, and his bosses at Wolfe Investments level an ultimatum: keep his assets zipped, get a “real” girlfriend, and clean up his act. Only one woman can help Matt with something this hard.

    For PR genius Sabrina Cross, the best fixer in Manhattan, playing Matt’s steady is going to be a challenge, even if it’s just for show. They already have an explosive history, she can’t stand the cocky party boy, and worse—she can’t stop thinking about him. So who’ll dare to break her “no touching” rule first? Because when that happens, Matt and Sabrina’s game of /let’s pretend/ will get so hot it could set both their reputations on fire.
