Manhattan Kiss by Louise Bay
Louise Bay delivers a heartfelt contemporary romance in Manhattan Kiss, where unexpected opportunities, emotional healing, and undeniable chemistry come together against the vibrant backdrop of New York City.
At thirty six, Aurora feels as though she's spent her life watching everyone else chase their dreams while putting her own on hold. When a life changing phone call offers her a temporary position at the prestigious Hotel on Ninth Street, she leaves her quiet English village behind and embraces the adventure she's always postponed. Determined to start fresh, Aurora arrives in Manhattan ready to rewrite her future.
Her carefully planned new beginning immediately goes off script after an unforgettable collision with Deacon Black, a successful businessman and fiercely devoted single father. Focused entirely on protecting his young daughter and maintaining the stable life they've built together, Deacon has no interest in temporary relationships. Yet the more time he spends with Aurora, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them.
