She thought she understood desire. She hadn’t even scratched the surface.

Kate Morrison has spent months exploring a marriage built on trust, permission, and the thrill of being watched. The nerves are gone. The inner voice that once judged her has finally fallen silent.

But comfort opens new doors. And some of them lead further than Kate ever imagined.

When Daniel proposes something new — another couple, deeper surrender, fewer boundaries — Kate discovers that letting go isn’t the only power she’s been hiding. Sometimes control is just as intoxicating as submission. Sometimes watching becomes leading.

From private parties to dangerous invitations among the elite of the lifestyle, Kate and Daniel push past curiosity into something richer, riskier, and unexpectedly grounding. And when familiar faces from their growing world appear again, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

This isn’t a phase. It’s who they are now.

Sharing Kate: Part 2 continues the emotionally charged journey of a marriage redefining intimacy — a story about trust, evolving desire, and the freedom that comes when shame finally lets go.

Character-driven. Emotionally layered. Unapologetically sensual.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A homecoming to Rome, Kentucky, sparks a new romance—and lots of drama—between two old family friends, from the New York Times bestselling author of When in Rome, Practice Makes Perfect, and Beg, Borrow, or Steal.

AN ELLE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Madison Walker left Rome, Kentucky, determined to make it in the culinary world. But after years of chasing success in New York, all she has to show for it is her shattered confidence and a desperate need for a fresh start. Coming home isn’t part of the plan—until an unexpected job offer lands in her lap: the head chef position at a new farm-to-table restaurant in her hometown. The only catch? It comes from James Huxley, owner of Huxley Farm, her brother’s best friend.

James has always played it safe, keeping his head down and running the family business. But when Madison’s happiness is on the line, he’s willing to take up his estranged brother’s offer to launch a restaurant. James has loved her quietly for years, knowing she’s never seen him as more than an annoyance, but now that she’s back, he’s determined to change that.

Madison and James are tasked with launching the dreamy restaurant in record time, but keeping things strictly professional soon becomes impossible, and the town can’t help but meddle in their relationship. As opening night looms closer, Madison’s fears threaten to hold her back.

When an unexpected disaster collides with a long-simmering sibling feud, both Madison and James will have to face their biggest insecurities—and decide if love is worth the risk or if some dreams are safer left untouched.

A new, sexy standalone from New York Times Bestsellers Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

The last thing I needed was a live-in bodyguard. And I definitely didn’t want him. Six foot two, with broad shoulders that were impossible to ignore and a talent for getting in my way, Wes Callahan was a walking bad decision.

But when you’re the daughter of a notorious mob boss, apparently your opinions stop mattering the moment your father ignites another war. I’d spent my entire life trying to escape that crooked world—new name, new city, newfound freedom. At least until I was suddenly shacked up with my new bodyguard.

Wes knew exactly how to push my buttons. He was also infuriatingly protective. And smart. And funny. And thoughtful when he thought I wasn’t paying attention. Little by little, the walls I’d built started to crack, and falling for the bodyguard became the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done. Because if my father found out, Wes wouldn’t just lose his job. He’d lose his life.

Getting involved with him was reckless, yet I couldn’t find a way to stop it, no matter how hard I tried. But while I was busy losing my heart, the man who took it was hiding a secret.

And it turned out, the most dangerous man in my life wasn’t my father after all—it was the one who threatened to break my heart.

I met my ex-fiancé’s father… in my panties.

One minute, I’m walking my best friend’s colossal Great Dane.
The next? He bolts. The leash snags my jeans.

Panic hits me as strangers openly stare at my lace panties.
Phones rise like a sea of tiny cameras.

Then HE storms in.

A towering statue of a man.
I can’t look away.
His massive body steps in front of me,
shielding my curves from the crowd’s hungry stares.

“Eyes. Off. Her.”

The impossibly handsome silver fox rescues the dog.
Buys me coffee.
And ridiculously expensive new jeans.

The attraction between us is instant.
And wildly inappropriate.

Not exactly how a single mom with a sassy second-grader expects to meet a guy.

But when his hands trace my curves,
they claim every inch my ex tried to convince me was unlovable.

One night with him ruins me for anyone else.

Then I discover who he really is.

Viktor Antonov.
Billionaire Bratva Kingpin.
And my ex-fiancé’s FATHER.

In a glittering Bratva ballroom, his bitter ex-wife sneers at my curves before the entire syndicate.

Viktor’s arm slides around my waist.

Hard. Possessive. Claiming.

“Careful,” he says softly.
“That’s the mother of my heir you’re insulting.”

The ballroom goes silent.

And suddenly I understand something terrifying about Viktor Antonov.
To the world, he’s a monster.
To his enemies, he’s a death sentence.

And to me…
I’m the one thing he’ll never let go.

For readers who love: silver fox mafia bosses, a fierce single-mom heroine, forbidden romance with the ex-fiancé’s father, curvy women who finally get worshipped the way they deserve, dangerously possessive Bratva alphas, surprise pregnancy, explosive family drama, and a ruthless hero who will burn the world down to protect what’s his. HEA guaranteed. No cheating.

Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control.
That’s who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and we’re growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley.

Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because she’s insanely gorgeous.

She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving.
But Kinley isn’t the woman the headlines painted.
She’s not conniving. She’s smart.
She’s not cold. She’s careful.
And she’s not distant. She just won’t allow anyone to get too close.

But that’s all I want.

Despite my intention to stay away from her, I can’t stop fantasizing about kissing her senseless and worshipping her body. Then, when we fly to Napa together to scout a new business, all my good intentions go up in smoke. Spending hours on end with her during the day is too much of a temptation. Sharing the same cabin at night is torture.

I’m tired of pretending I don’t want her in my bed, and my life. More than that, I want to protect her from everyone who hurt her. I’ll fight like hell not only to make her mine, but to earn her trust. Because once I have Kinley, I intend to keep her forever.

She’s spent five years getting over him. He’s spent five years trying to deserve her.

Sadie knows exactly who Harrison Turner is — the boy who loved her, the quarterback who forgot her, and the man in a viral video she wishes she’d never seen. She healed. She rebuilt. She made peace with the wreckage he left behind.

But that doesn’t mean she’s over him…

Harrison knows exactly what he is — the guy who had everything and chose wrong. One night. One unforgivable mistake. He’s been living with the fallout ever since, and no amount of success or silence has touched the part of him that still belongs to her.

When their best friends fall in love and plan a wedding, Sadie and Harrison are the last two people who should be forced back into each other’s orbit.

But they’re exactly who fate chose.

One wedding. Months of forced proximity. And a love that never quite died — no matter how hard she tried to bury it.

What to Expect:
💔 Relationship in Crisis
💔 Gut Punch Betrayal
💔 Plenty of Groveling
💔 On-Page Cheating
💔 Other Woman Drama
💔 High Angst
💔 Forced Proximity
💔 Steamy Scenes
