After risking her career, falling in love, and having to pick up the pieces of her fractured heart, Audrey has accepted Life Is Hard. But with a handsome new beau and mega-promotion, things are finally looking up — her future has never seemed brighter. Or has it?

If only she could escape the memory of those sultry days in Athens and steamy nights in Istanbul…

Audrey’s simmering thoughts aren’t helped when Theo, looking positively edible and moved-on, resurfaces as a media sensation gracing the covers of countless magazines. Still, she’s determined to leave him in the past and embrace her future . . . until an accidental discovery leaves her wondering if her carefully constructed world might be an illusion.

When billion-dollar-deals are on the line, lives are cheap, and it’s impossible to know who to trust. Can Audrey and Theo find the courage to open their hearts when it’s time to risk everything, or have they become too damaged to love?

Conflicted Desire is the second steamy installment of the sensual, contemporary romance Conflicted Series, intended for ages 18+.
