Fever

The second of two steamy and entertaining romance novels, published under the beloved and distinguished author's real name for the first time

Three years have passed since four friends--Geneva, Chevy, Crystal, and Noah--had a steamy summer of secrets and sleeping around. As another summer is fast approaching, they've sworn off any extracurricular activities, but as the temperature rises in the city, the friends find themselves in hot water again.

Geneva is busy taking care of her daughter and trying not to get too involved with her son's young business manager. Chevy gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assist a diva who might want more than what's in the employment contract. Crystal has promised to save herself for Mr. Right (instead of jumping into bed with another Mr. Right Now), but her commitment is tested when an old acquaintance reenters her life. And while Noah is getting very cozy with his new neighbors in London, he's still everyone's favorite (and only) confidant who can't stop himself from meddling in other people's business.

But secrets don't stay secrets for long among these friends, and with sexual tensions high on both side of the pond, everyone is sure to catch the fever. . . .
