21 Wall Street | Book Three
“Lauren Layne delivered a damn near perfect romance…She never fails to write the kind of romances that I need right now and that I read in one sitting.” —BookBinge
Even for a top-gun banker, temptation this hot is quite a gamble, in a sexy Wall Street romp from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne.
An alpha among the wolves of Wall Street, Kennedy Dawson rose to the top of the pack by striking the right contracts at the right times. But there’s one deal that’s been giving him a run for his money—a pact to never again let his assistant, Kate, get under his skin. She may be smart, gorgeous, and sharp as a whip, but she’s definitely off-limits.
Kate Henley isn’t a banker, but she knows a thing or two about risk management—specifically, about managing her attraction to her smolderingly sexy boss. She already fell once, and Kennedy showed no sign of paying a return on her investment. So when Kennedy’s brother starts pursuing her, Kate figures she has the best of both worlds. Jack is charming, rich, very attentive, and the spitting image of his older brother.
It’s also making Kennedy think twice. But to win Kate’s heart, he’ll have to broker the deal of a lifetime…and prove he’s worth the risk.
about the story
if you're wondering...
Is this book for me?
I try to be as upfront as possible about each of my books. Everyone has unique preferences!
Unlike the other two books in the series, I wrote this one in third person, because it worked better for the story.
While this still has plenty of banter, it's a touch more emotional/serious at times than the rest of the series.
Huge Deal seems to be the reader favorite of the 21 Wall Street series!
A copyeditor wanted me to "tone down" the Kennedy's alpha-vibes in one of the scenes. I said no. 😏
🔥 This book is steamy with explicit sex scenes.
Excerpt
Kennedy scowled. “You can’t leave in the middle of a chess game.”
“Oh, did I forget to mention?” she asked casually, pulling her hair out from the neck of the jacket and letting it fall, dark and heavy against his lapel, then pointing down at the board. “Checkmate.”
Kennedy looked at the pieces, his disbelief shifting quickly to shock as he realized that his king was out of moves. He gave a thoughtful look at the woman he’d known—or thought he’d known—for years.
And wondered just what else he’d underestimated about her.

First things first, this is one of my few series available in Kindle Unlimited, in case that's your thing! These books were a direct result of me missing Stiletto and Oxford, though I wrote the first two in first person to change it up a bit!
