ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 24, 2023
Time has changed the girl he left behind—and the sexy woman won’t fall into his bed so easily.
Lissa Gardelli’s journalism career is about to take a big leap forward, thanks to scoring an interview with Wall Street wonder, Trevor Dane. There’s just one hurdle: keeping her identity a secret until she gets in the door.
Trevor Dane has arrived—corner office, seven-figure income, and women at the snap of his fingers. A profile piece in the News Journal is just icing on the cake. Until he lays eyes on his interviewer, the high school sweetheart who’s haunted his dreams for ten long years.
The sparks between them still burn, and business quickly ignites into pleasure. But Lissa is keeping one last secret…one that could either solidify their reunion, or drive them apart—for good.

REVIEW: KISMET is the second instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult SERENDIPITY erotic, romance series. This is financial investor Trevor Dane, and journalist/single mother Lissa Gardelli’s story line. KISMET can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. KISMET is the re-release of the author’s SUDDENLY LOVE.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Trevor and Lissa ) KISMET follows the second chance romance and relationship between former high school sweethearts Trevor Dane and Lissa Gardelli. Ten years earlier Trevor Dane walked out of Lissa Gardelli’s life only to return to discover the woman he loved was pregnant with another man’s baby. Fast forward to present day Lissa is working as a journalist, and her an interview with her former love is going to make or break or career but Trevor has no idea he is about to come face to face with his past, the woman whose life he knows nothing about. What ensues is the quick rebuilding romance and relationship between Trevor and Lissa, and the potential fall-out as Trevor struggles with memories from the past, and their life going forward.
Lissa Gardelli broke Trevor’s heart the day she announced she was expecting another man’s baby. Believing he was never good enough for the woman he loved, Trevor made a name for himself in the financial sector, a name that has brought Lissa front and centre. Lissa Gardelli never expected to see Trevor again but her latest assignment could mean a second chance with the man that she loves.
The relationship between Trevor and Lissa is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people destroyed by heart break, loss and perceived betrayal. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
KISMET is a story of friendships and forgiveness, love and acceptance. The premise is inviting and entertaining; the characters are broken and determined; the romance is seductive and intimate.
