Cover Reveal: Heat Wave by Karina Halle

   

I am very excited to bring you the cover for the upcoming standalone novel HEAT WAVE from NEW YORK TIME Bestselling Author Karina Halle! HEAT WAVE is a new alluring forbidden romance you do not want to miss releasing on November 3rd.

 

           

They say when life closes one door, another one opens. 
This door happens to lead to paradise. 
And a man I can never, ever have. 

Still grieving the loss of her sister who died two years ago, the last thing Veronica "Ronnie" Locke needed was to lose her job at one of Chicago’s finest restaurants and have to move back in with her parents. So when a window of opportunity opens for her – running a kitchen at a small Hawaiian hotel – she’d be crazy not to take it. 

The only problem is, the man running the hotel drives her crazy: Logan Shephard. 

It doesn’t matter that he’s got dark brown eyes, a tall, muscular build that’s sculpted from daily surfing sessions, and a deep Australian accent that makes your toes curl. 

What does matter is that he’s a grump. 
Kind of an asshole, too. 
And gets under Ronnie’s skin like no one else. 

But the more time Ronnie spends on the island of Kauai, falling in love with the lush land and its carefree lifestyle, the closer she gets to Logan. And the closer she gets to Logan, the more she realizes she may have pegged him all wrong. Maybe it’s the hot, steamy jungles or the invigorating ocean air, but soon their relationship becomes utterly intoxicating. 

There’s just one major catch. 

The two of them together would incite a scandal neither Ronnie, nor her family, would ever recover from. 

Forbidden, Illicit, off-limits – sometimes the heat is worth surrendering to, even if you get burned.

ABOUT 21 STOLEN KISSES:  

When I first met him I resisted. 
Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass. 
That was a lie. It never faded. 

And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard. 

There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us. 

Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword. 

Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love -- the big, intense, never-been-like-this-beforelove -- landed me in therapy. 

Now I'm heading to college, and it's time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he's still in my life? 

Because the one man I've always wanted, is also the only guy I absolutely can't have… 

And he wants me just as fiercely. Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life?

He inhales sharply. The look in his eyes says we’re crossing into the danger zone again. It’s the only place I want to be with him. Because when we’re there, nothing between us feels dangerous. Everything feels right.

“I turn eighteen in a few more weeks,” I say, like my birthday is an open invitation for us to slam back into each other.

He nods. “I know.”

A breeze blow by and rustles his hair. A lock falls out of place. Instinct takes over. I raise my hand to reach for his hair.

But he’s faster. He grasps my wrist, and the second he does, the moment expands. It stretches and unfolds into the thing I will replay tonight and tomorrow and the next day. I stare at his hand clasped around my wrist, flashing back to all the times he held my hand, touched my wrist, and ran his fingers along my arm. I shiver as the memories collide, the past slamming into the present.

I look up from our hands to his eyes. Blazing, full of heat. Full of all that restraint from him that I know so well.
