Shimmy for Me

ONE PASSIONATE NIGHT. TWO LOST SOULS. A WHOLE WORLD OF TROUBLE.
Juggling two jobs to keep her belly dance studio afloat usually keeps Abby Anderson’s mind off her shattered love life. But when a painful anniversary tears open an old wound, she finds comfort in the arms of an anonymous stranger she plucks from the audience of her belly dance show. She tells herself it’s a harmless hookup. No names, no strings, and absolutely no romance.

Then he turns up at her day job...

Derek Collier, the sexy heir to the Collier media dynasty, just landed everything he’s always wanted: the publisher’s seat at the Orange County Herald. Except his first directive is to negotiate the newspaper’s sale to appease his father. Reeling from his family’s betrayal, his only comfort is the memory of that mysterious belly dancer and the passionate night they spent together.

He won’t rest until he finds her again. She’ll lose everything if he does.

Book 1 is a stand-alone book in this new contemporary romance / romantic comedy series with a happily-ever-after ending and no cliffhanger

SHIMMY FOR ME is a fun read with a lot of heart. ... The characters are well developed, giving just enough background to feel connected without overwhelming the reader. I loved the anticipation of Abby working for Derek, wondering if and when he would finally recognize her. It was cringe-worthy in the best possible way! The story played out quickly but Shimmy for Me was the perfect length and a satisfying read.--Readers’ Favorite

SHIMMY FOR ME is a sexy contemporary romance with a cool and sophisticated alpha male hero, and a smart, bold, and definitely not-your-girl-next-door heroine. Their story is sometimes intensely passionate, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and always emotionally satisfying.
