What’s up next? 😉 Well, I’ve got a sexy summer romance, with a side order of suspense coming your way in June…Have you heard about NEVER GONNA HAPPEN?

𝗡𝗼. 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁. 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱’𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗛𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝘆.

So…yeah, okay, Alyssa Kyle is gorgeous and funny, and she’s slipped into more than a few of his fantasies over the years, but Sebastian Ridgeway is not about to cross that particular line. No way. No day.

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆.

Alyssa’s in trouble. Someone shot at her—actually shot at her—and now she’s getting all kinds of threatening messages. Messages that say she’s about to pay for her brother’s crimes. Only her brother is a computer gaming designer, not some secret agent. The bad guys out there have obviously made a mistake.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲.

Sebastian and Alyssa’s brother, Antony, have been working the spy game for years. They started as hacking teens but graduated to the big leagues—and their gaming company is just their cover. Apparently, their cover has been blown. Now some of the bad guys they’ve taken down want payback—and Alyssa is being targeted. Her brother is out of the country, gone dark on an assignment, and Sebastian can’t just leave Alyssa on her own to face the wolves. Not happening. So…

𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲.

He moves Alyssa into his home. Provides twenty-four, seven protection for her. He figures he can keep his secret desire for her in check—he’s done it for years, after all—or at least, that’s the initial plan. Until he finds out that Alyssa has been longing for him. That he’s starred in more than a few of her fantasies, too.

𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳.

He’s held back for years, thinking he was doing the right thing. Thinking he’d never truly deserve a woman like her. But if Alyssa wants him, if Alyssa needs him, nothing will stop him from claiming the woman who owns his heart. Not the bad guys who are closing in, not the government who wants his tech, and not even Alyssa’s big brother.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗵𝗲𝗿? 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗔𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘀𝗮? 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀…𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡.

Absolutely, one hundred percent…Sebastian will not let her go, and he will prove that he is the guy—the only one—for her.

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN is available for pre-order now at all major ebook retailers, and the print version will release on 6/16, too. (Sorry, I don’t have a pre-order link yet for the print book!)

I wanted to write a fun, sexy romance with all new characters. Something new for summer–and NEVER GONNA HAPPEN was born. It’s the first of several surprise books that I have planned for this year. 🥳 I so hope readers enjoy it!

Today is book release day! COUNTING ON COLE is available now! 😍😍😍

If you love bad boy heroes who fall ever so hard, up-close and personal bodyguard action, fun, and a bit of danger…then Cole has you covered.

In the past, #IndieBookstoreDay typically fell on the last Saturday in April. Because of the current situation in the world, this year’s Indie Bookstore Day has been postponed until Saturday, August 29, 2020.

However, since today was supposed to be the big day…I still wanted to do a shout-out to my absolute favorite indie bookstore: The Haunted Book Shop in Mobile, Alabama. My friend (and fab author!) Angela Quarles owns this shop, and it is absolutely fantastic. So many wonderful books!! And the store is SUPER romance friendly.

Angela has several of my autographed books in stock: https://www.thehauntedbookshopmobile.com/cynthia-eden

She goes out of her way to support local authors, to encourage literacy in the community, and in general, to just make the world a better place (because she is awesome!).

Angela, thank you for all that you do! I love your store so much!

One week until the release of COUNTING ON COLE! ❤️❤️❤️
