ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 23, 2019

It started out like any normal day.

Then the fender bender happened.

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway—one I was excited about.

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Whoops!

Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.

At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed.

But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game—don’t ask.)

We continued to flirt without crossing the line—until it finally happened.

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW: PARK AVENUE PLAYER co-authored by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story line focusing on Hollis LaCroix, and PI/nanny Elodie Atlier.

Told from present day and memories from the past PARK AVENUE PLAYER focuses on Hollis LaCroix’ hunt for a nanny for his eleven year old niece Hailey, a young girl whose father is currently serving a sentence in prison but things don’t start off very well when Hollis comes face to face with his potential nanny, the woman who hit his Mercedes just minutes before. Having no patience with to interview Elodie Atlier, Hollis dismisses our heroine, only to have Elodie arrive at his house, hours later. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Elodie and Hollis when Elodie is hired as Hailey’s nanny, and the potential fall-out Hollis struggles with a ghost from his past.

Elodie Atlier has worked for a private investigator as the lure in numerous divorce and cheating scandals. Tired of the men ogling and pawing our story line heroine, Elodie’s best friend Bree suggests working as a nanny for Hollis LaCroix but their ‘accidental meeting’ forces Hollis to not accept Elodie as his niece’s nanny. Hollis LaCroix has been burned in the past but his attraction to Elodie causes some trouble with their employee and employer dynamic. But a series of mixed messages from Hollis to Elodie, finds Elodie struggling with where she stands in Hollis’ life.

The relationship between Elodie and Hollis is one of immediate and palpable attraction predicated on a business arrangement between our leading couple but having been burned in the past, Hollis refuses to fall in love, or place Elodie in a position that could break his niece’s heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Elodie’s best friend Bree, and her previous boss and friend Soren, as well as Hollis’ business partner Addison, and his niece Hailey.

PARK AVENUE PLAYER is a story of family, friendships, secrets and lies; betrayal, grief, loss and love. The premise is engaging and captivating with a major twist that will break your heart; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are dynamic, charismatic and intense but there is some definite humorous back and forth between Elodie and Soren.
