The Trouble with Love

Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
As Lauren Layne’s salacious Sex, Love & Stiletto series returns, a jaded columnist discovers a steamy way to get over an old flame: falling for him all over again. As Stiletto magazine’s authority on all things breakup-and-heartache, Emma Sinclair writes from personal experience. Five years ago, Emma was Charlotte, North Carolina’s darling debutante and a blushing bride-to-be. Now she’s the ice queen of the Manhattan dating scene. Emma left her sultry Southern drawl behind, but not even her closest friends know that with it she left her heart. Now Emma’s latest article forces her to face her demons—namely, the devilishly sexy guy who ditched her at the altar. After giving up everything for a pro-soccer career, Alex Cassidy watches his dreams crumble as a knee injury sidelines him for good. Now he’s hanging up his cleats and giving journalism a shot. It’s just a coincidence that he happens to pick a job in the same field, and the same city, as his former fiancée . . . right? But when Emma moves in next door, it’s no accident. It’s research. And Alex can’t help wondering what might have been. Unlike the innocent girl he remembers, this Emma is chic, sophisticated, and assertive—and she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. The trouble is, Alex has never wanted her more. Praise for The Trouble with Love “The Trouble with Love is a heartwarming read I devoured in one sitting and haven’t been able to stop smiling over since.”—New York Times bestselling author Violet Duke Lauren Layne’s New York Times bestselling Oxford Novel series can be read in any order: IRRESISTIBLY YOURS I WISH YOU WERE MINE SOMEONE LIKE YOU I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE I THINK I LOVE YOU Don’t miss any of Lauren Layne’s hot reads: The Love Unexpectedly series: BLURRED LINES | GOOD GIRL | LOVE STORY | WALK OF SHAME | AN EX FOR CHRISTMAS The Sex, Love & Stiletto series: AFTER THE KISS | LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH | JUST ONE NIGHT | THE TROUBLE WITH LOVE The Redemption series: ISN’T SHE LOVELY | BROKEN | CRUSHED The I Do, I Don’t series: READY TO RUN | RUNAWAY GROOM Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Book Description
Against the glamorous background of the big city, five beautiful women struggle to find love, acceptance, and success. As the five prepare for a wedding, they take inventory of their own lives. Has pleasure been enough? Is glamour really all they need to be happy? And is that happiness worth it at any cost? No matter how hard they try to deny it, beneath the glitz is an inescapable tarnish. As the five friends flirt, seduce, and entice with gossipy, scandalous verve, Stilettos explores the risks a woman must take to find herself, real love, and her place in elite society. Samantha is a savvy businesswoman married to her first love for over ten years. Can she find that spark again? Langston is drop-dead-gorgeous, with the kind of feminine wiles made only in Italy. Will her obsession with cocaine cost her everything? Ashley, who lost it all in a brutal divorce, is desperate to make ends meet. Does she dare to hope for love again? Starr is convinced that love and sex are overrated. Could a sex-fueled adventure really solve all her problems? Maxi, who struggles with a body dismorphic disorder, can't admit that she won't have her pick of men forever. Is she really willing to abandon true love to gain access to medical benefits? Stilettos is a story about freedom, having dreams, and making choices if only those choices were always the best ones.
