Some Details
Vibe
Think men in suits, women in high-heels, with an upscale New York City lifestyle with a splash of 90s rom-com energy.
Heat Level
This is a steamy romance novel with explicit sex scenes and spicy language.
POV
This book is written in alternating third person POV.
Tone
Starts with plenty of snappy banter and then pivots to be what I consider easily my most emotional and intense love story.
Author Note
Of my 40+ books, I’ve never had one quite as eagerly anticipated by readers as the mysterious Lincoln’s story. I was even accused of intentionally holding off to “bolster preorders” but the truth is, this book took me a long time to be ready to write. It’s emotionally intense, aching, and was hard to get just right.
This book hitting both the New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller list is easily one of the highlights of my career.
An Amazon Best Book of the Month ∙New York Times Bestseller ∙ USA TODAY Bestseller
“Lincoln and Daisy’s tale is expertly crafted, full of wit and heart. Layne is equally adept at writing heartbreaking portrayals of grief and scenes of steamy passion that will get hearts racing. Exemplary contemporary romance.”

A Little Excerpt
He ordered himself to release her and step back, but his hands didn’t move. Very slowly, her gaze traveled upward from the knot of his tie, and the second her warm brown eyes locked with his, he felt a surge of want so fierce it nearly took his breath away.
Let her go. Let. Her. Go.
Instead his hands tugged her closer, his head dipping down.
Daisy gasped and pulled back.
He released her, although it seemed to take a split second longer than it should for his fingers to obey his brain.
on Book Covers
I’ve made the unusual decision not to show the official book covers on my official author website for a variety of reasons:
Most of my books have multiple cover versions depending on language/country; the US English version is only one of many.
Several of my cover designs were spot-on when they released, but are now quite dated even though the love stories within are timeless.
I have an unwavering love for neutral colors, and elegantly minimalist design. The current rom-com cover trend towards candy colored cartoons is not my jam.
My website is my chance to present my work my way.
