About the book: Release Date January 18, 2016

Kelsey Kyle will do whatever it takes to get into the management trainee program at the casino where she works. So when she’s given the opportunity to get a VIP customer’s endorsement for the program, she jumps at the challenge. All she needs to do is arrange a one-on-one fan experience with the woman’s favorite author, tall-dark-and-intense Micah Holmes.

An entire week at a Vegas romance readers’ convention, surrounded by hundreds of people, is Micah Holmes’ idea of hell. But one look at Kelsey, his assigned hotel concierge, and the attraction is immediate. Maybe this week won’t be so bad after all…

Anything beyond a “strictly professional” relationship will get Kelsey fired, but she needs to get close to Micah to get the super fan experience her client wants. Hot sex in her apartment pool begins a game of “undercover lover” that quickly escalates to something more. But when Micah discovers her secret agenda, all bets are off.

REVIEW: HER SECRET LOVER is the eleventh installment in the multi-authored WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS erotic, romance series. All of the story lines take place in Las Vegas, but each installment can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. This is junior concierge Kelsey Kyle, and reclusive author Micah Holmes’s story line.

Told for dual third person perspectives (Micah and Kelsy) HER SECRET LOVER follows Kelsey as she is tasked with keeping happy the casino’s guests including reclusive and reluctant romance author Micah Holmes. Micah is a man who prefers the anonymity of writing alone in his room but a romance convention finds our hero reluctantly facing thousands of his adoring and over-zealous fans. Kelsey Kyle is assigned as his personal assistant for the week of the convention but Micah finds himself attracted to his new PA and what he needs from Kelsey will risk her position and job within the casino. What ensues is a secret affair, one week only, between two people whose lives would not have crossed if it were not for the romance convention. The one problem-Kelsey is tasked with another assignment that finds our heroine in a precarious spot that could affect her relationship with Micah Holmes.

Micah is a combat wounded, former marine: Kelsey is a junior, hotel concierge hoping to move up in the world, who must abide by the rules of no personal interaction or affairs with the hotel guests. Kelsey and Micah’s attraction to one another is immediate and visceral. Our hero wants something more from Kelsey than she is willing or able to give. The $ex scenes are intimate, provocative and intense.

HER SECRET LOVER is a sweet story; a simple read about romance and $ex; heartbreak and betrayal; forgiveness and understanding. The premise is entertaining; the characters are fun and flirty; the romance is naughty and nice.
