ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 24, 2024

He’s the one she’s never forgotten.
She’s the one he regrets letting go.
Now they have a second chance to get it right.

When Skye Tremont runs into her sexy former flame, Tripp Daniels, she’s reminded of the baby pact they’d made years ago… If she was single and childless by the age of thirty, he’d step in and be her baby daddy and fulfill her dream of having a child.

Now, after a bitter divorce that has left her guarding her heart, and wanting only one thing, Skye is ready to take Tripp up on his promise. When he’s one of the bachelors up for bid at a charity auction, it’s the perfect opportunity to have him all to herself for a weekend of baby making fun, as long as he agrees to her terms.

Tripp is on board to fulfill the promise he made to Skye. If he’s going to have a baby with anyone, it’s going to be the one woman he’d foolishly let slip through his fingers. But not this time because he’s all in. Skye is even more beautiful than he remembers, and the chemistry between them is hotter than ever, but while she gives him free rein with her body, she’s made it clear her heart is off limits.

Now, with a second chance within his grasp, Tripp is prepared to do whatever it takes to win the woman he loves and give them both the family they’ve always craved.

REVIEW:JUST A LITTLE PROMISE is the third instalment in the contemporary, adult DARE CROSSOVER erotic, romance series co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is Dr. Tripp Daniels, and thirty year old, assistant event coordinator Skye Abbot-Tremont’s story line. JUST A LITTLE PROMISE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers

Told from omniscient third person perspectives (Tripp and Skye) JUST A LITTLE PROMISE follows the second chance relationship between our leading couple. Skye Abbott is rebounding from a bitter divorce, and she is hoping one-day to become a mother but Skye never expected to run into Dr. Tripp Daniels, the one man she has never forgotten. Five years earlier, Tripp and Skye were a couple but Tripp had plans for the future, and there was no time for a relationship while in medical school. Fast forward to present day, Skye’s arrival in New York and ultimately Brooklyn finds Skye face to face with her past in the guise of our story line hero, the man who continues to stir something deep inside. Skye’s plans for a child are about to take on a new direction when when Tripp offers up himself as the potential father. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between our story line couple as Skye’s past refuses to let go.

The world building follows Skye and Tripp as they navigate the process of getting pregnant but someone may be stalking our story line heroine, and Tripp suspects it is someone from her past.

The relationship between Skye and Tripp is one of second chances: a rebuilding romance in which Skye struggles to trust in the face of her failed marriage, and Tripp is hoping for something more. The $ex scenes are erotic and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Skye’s brother Spencer, her friend and co-worker Lauren, as well as several member of Tripp’s extended Dare/Kingston family.

JUST A LITTLE PROMISE is a story of family and friendships, relationships and love. The character driven premise is captivating and exciting; the rekindling romance is seductive ; The characters are determined and real.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 21, 2023

Being a bachelor has its perks. It also has its downside. Just ask Derek Bettencourt.

Standing on stage and being auctioned off in the name of charity is awkward AF… until his business partner’s younger sister wins him for the weekend. He’s all hers to do with as she pleases and he can’t say he’s unhappy with the prospect. Especially since she saved him from an ex-fiancée determined to get her claws into him again.

Jessica Cavanaugh never intended to bid on the man she’s had a lifetime crush on. But her spur-of-the-moment decision gives her a chance to exact a bit of playful payback, for old time’s sake. And Derek is all too happy to indulge Jessica’s whims.

What starts as a fun, flirty, game, with Derek acting as her personal handyman, quickly turns into a steamy and forbidden weekend. Lines are crossed that they never intended and emotions unravel their playful facades. Afterward, he can’t get the gorgeous, full-figured woman out of his head and he’s determined to make her his.

But how can they concentrate on a future when someone is threatened by their relationship and will do anything to come between them?

REVIEW:  JUST A LITTLE HOOKUP is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult DARE CROSSOVER erotic, romance series co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is plus size/ curvy  fashion designer Jessica Cavanaugh, and mergers and acquisitions billionaire Derek Bettencourt’s story line. The DARE cross over series is interconnected with the authors’ KINGSTON Family, DARE and DIRTY DARE series. Derek was first introduced in JUST ONE TASTE (The Kingston Family #7)

Told from dual third person perspectives (Jessica and Derek) JUST A LITTLE HOOKUP follows the building romance and relationship between plus size / curvy fashion designer Jessica Cavanaugh, and mergers and acquisitions billionaire Derek Bettencourt. Jessica Cavanaugh has had a crush on her brother’s best friend and business partner Derek Bettencourt for as long as she can remember but Derek’s well to do, and politically connected family had other plans for their golden child. A Dare/Kingston bachelor auction fundraiser for children in the foster care system finds Jessica betting on the man that calls to her heart but betting for all the wrong reasons. Derek’s ex-fiance is determined to reclaim our story line hero beginning with winning Derek at the fundraising event . With her own ulterior motives, Jessica outbids Derek’s vindictive ex, placing herself in the direct line of fire. Three days with Derek ended with our couple professing their needs and desires but Derek’s ex is determined to destroy our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Derek and Jessica, and the potential fall-out as a social media smear campaign threatens to take down everything Jessica has worked for and earned.

The relationship between Derek and Jessica is a best friend’s younger sister relationship but in an effort to avoid future confrontation Derek makes his attraction know, avoiding any possible ramifications with his best friend and business partner. Derek spent three days with Jessica, doing as she ‘bid’ but three days wasn’t enough for our story line hero. Jessica Cavanaugh is and has always been a curvy girl/woman and her designer line of clothes proves she knows what curvy woman want but jealousy and betrayal are about to add fuel to an already fragile ego when the past is determined to take her down. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense with some scenes and talk of spanking and bondage.

The secondary and supporting characters include Derek’s sister Nikki, and her fiance Asher Dare (Just One Taste); Derek’s friend/Jessica’s brother Ben Cavanaugh; Derek’s ex fiance Claire, his parents, Claire’s mother, and several members of the Dare/Kingston family.

JUST A LITTLE HOOKUP is a story of betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and desperation, power and money, family, friendships, relationships, and love. The fast paced premise is captivating and exciting; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are determined, dynamic and charismatic.
